Capo on first fret
verse 1:
E A E
She marked our trail up the backbone ridge.
C#m B E
How many times can one dog pee?
E A E
Keeps me high as an eagle, when I'm on the skids.
C#m B E
I guess she gotta come down eventually.
Chorus:
E A E B E
Buddy I could'a gone that extra mile.
A E B A
For an extra bark, or an extra smile.
A B C#m
Cause I never felt so free,
B A E
It was just my dog and me.
Verse 2:
E A E
Then she gives me that look, like she'd lay down her life.
C#m B E
No doubt she would in a minute, man.
E A E
She'd face the bullet, oh she'd face the knife.
C#m B E
Just to keep my butt from the fryin' pan.
Chorus:
E A E B E
Now she's runnin' up ahead to chase some deer.
A E B C#m
Comes back to tell me that the coast is cleared.
A B C#m
It's a different world I see,
B A E
when it's just my dog and me.
E A E C#m
There's a rabbit on the run.
C#m B A E
Man and beast and sky and sun.
Chorus:
E A B C#m
Who's talking to the birds in the trees?
B A E
Why it's just my dog and me.
Verse 3:
E A E
Now it looks like we been makin' tracks,
C#m B E
from the crack of dawn to the end of the day.
E A E
So it's nice and easy down the devil's back.
C#m B E
She wouldn't know any other way.
Chorus:
E A E B E
Now it's over that ridge for one last mile,
A E B A
then we're fast asleep by the fireside.
A B C#m
Dreamin' these dreams for free.
B A E
Yeah it's just my dog and me.
A B C#m
I never felt so free.
B A E
It is just my dog and me.
