Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I saw this song live and this is how he played it then. I know its pretty simple, but this is how he did it.
As of when this I tabbed this out,the lyrics are not on the internet so there may be some mistakes. I did my best but there are some spots where I have no clue what he says, mainly in last chorus. Once official (or better) lyrics come out, I will make corrections as needed.
Furthermore, he does some hammer-ons and pull-offs on the high E string on the D chord. I didnt add those in, so just do them as you see fit.
Standard tuning No Capo
Intro: EmCGD x2
EmC Dancing on the creek bank GD Blue eyes and auburn hair EmC It was the best years of our lives GD We didnt have a care EmC Going 90 miles an hour GD Truck and an old dirt road EmC Two young ass kids DC Back where the dogwood flowers grow
EmCGD
EmC Then graduation came GD You was big city bound EmC And I was going nowhere fast GD So I just hung around EmC By the next time I seen ya GD Your love had turned cold EmC So I guess you broke my heart DC Back where the dogwood flowers grow
Em White on the bloom C That April moon G It could have been forever D Darling that we stayed together Em But you had to go C And time dont slow GD It took you further from your home Em Back where the dogwood flowers grow
CGDEmCGD
EmC So I took to drinking GD I guess you wouldnt recognize me EmC My souls been torn and twisted GD Like that old dogwood tree EmC We used to talk about forever GD That was a million miles ago so EmC I see ya if I see DC Back where the dogwood flowers grow
Em White on the bloom C That April moon G If you aint dead set on leaving D and you miss the one you need Em just getting real C Hell remember when GD You had that hand to hold EmC Back where the dogwood flowers grow GD The dogwood flowers grow EmCGD The dogwood flowers grow EmC (one strum of each of these chords) The dogwood flowers grow
