Intro : D
D G D
Well I first kiss you on a hollow log
D A D
Down by the river they call the Dog
D G D
We fell in love and we vowed that day
D A D
Like the flow of the river our love won't change
D G D
Well we married that spring and we built a house
D A D
On the bank of the river where the rock juts out
D G D
Now the river's still here but you're long gone
D A D
You left me and the river here all alone
D G A D
I got the Dog River Blues
D G A D
I've walked holes in both my shoes
G A D G
Now I still got the river but I ain't got you
D A D
I got the Dog River blues
D G D
Well the rain came down and the river rose up
D A D
Filled up the cab on my pickup truck
D G D
It came in the house and down the hall
D A D
And washed your picture right off the wall
Chorus
Solo (Chorus CHORDS)
D G D
Well my heart still yearns and the river still rolls
D A D
And I pray someday it'll bring you home
D G D
So if you change your mind honey I'll be here
D A D
Waiting on the banks of that ol'Dog River
Chorus
Chorus
G A D G
Oh I still got the river but I ain't got you
D A D
I got the Dog River blues
