Dogwood

Intro: Em C G D x2

Em               C
Dancing on the creek bank
G                 D
Blue eyes and auburn hair
Em                   C
It was the best years of our lives
G               D
We didnt have a care
Em                C
Going 90 miles an hour
G                 D
Truck and an old dirt road
Em          C
Two young ass kids
D                                C
Back where the dogwood flowers grow

Em C G D

Em              C
Then graduation came
G               D
You was big city bound
Em               C
And I was going nowhere fast
G                D
So I just hung around
Em                    C
By the next time I seen ya
G                  D
Your love had turned cold
Continues after the ad
Em                    C
So I guess you broke my heart
D                            C
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
G                              D
It took you further from your home
                            Em
Back where the dogwood flowers grow

C G D Em C G D

Em            C
So I took to drinking
G                         D
I guess you wouldnt recognize me
Em                       C
My souls been torn and twisted
G                   D
Like that old dogwood tree
Em                      C
We used to talk about forever
G                        D
That was a million miles ago so
Em             C
I see ya if I see
D                           C
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
G                     D
You had that hand to hold
                             Em    
Back where the dogwood flowers grow
     C

                   G        D
The dogwood flowers grow
                  Em        C    
The dogwood flowers grow
G     D
