Dog River Blues

D

D                          G      
Well I first kiss you on a hollow 
D
log
D                      A        D
Down by the river they call the Dog
D                      G          
We fell in love and we vowed that 
D
day
D                              A 
Like the flow of the river our 
         D
love won?t change
D                                  
Well we married that spring and we 
G       D
built a house
D                                  
On the bank of the river where the 
A         D
rock juts out
D                            
Now the river?s still here but 
  G           D
you?re long gone
D                              A 
You left me and the river here 
        D
all alone

[Chorus]
D         G   A     D
I got the Dog River Blues
D           G        A       D
I?ve walked holes in both my shoes
      G             A         
Now I still got the river but I 
  D         G
ain?t got you
          D   A     D
I got the Dog River blues

D                             
Well the rain came down and the 
  G          D
river rose up
D                       A      D
Filled up the cab on my pickup truck
D                        G        
It came in the house and down the 
D
hall
D                             A  
And washed your picture right off
         D
 the wall

[Chorus]
D         G   A     D
I got the Dog River Blues
D           G        A       D
I?ve walked holes in both my shoes
      G             A         
Now I still got the river but I 
  D         G
ain?t got you
          D   A     D
I got the Dog River blues

D                                  
Well my heart still yearns and the 
G           D
river still rolls
D                  A              
And I pray someday it?ll bring you 
 D
home
D                                
So if you change your mind honey 
G       D
I?ll be here
D                            A   
Waiting on the banks of that 
        D
ol?Dog River

[Chorus]
D         G   A     D
I got the Dog River Blues
D           G        A       D
I?ve walked holes in both my shoes
      G             A         
Now I still got the river but I 
  D         G
ain?t got you
          D   A     D
I got the Dog River blues

[Chorus]
D         G   A     D
I got the Dog River Blues
D           G        A       D
I?ve walked holes in both my shoes
      G             A         
Now I still got the river but I 
  D         G
ain?t got you
          D   A     D
I got the Dog River blues

     G             A           D 
Oh I still got the river but I 
        G
ain?t got you
          D   A     D
I got the Dog River blues
