Em C9
You was dancing on the creek bank
G D
Blue eyes and auburn hair
Em9 C9
It was the best years of our lives
G D
We didn't have a care
Em9 C9
Going 90 miles an hour
G D
A truck and an old dirt road
Em9 C9
We were just two young ass kids
D C9
Back where the dogwood flowers grow
Interlude: Play intro
Then graduation came
You was big city bound
I was going nowhere fast
So I just hung around
By the next time I seen you
Your love had grown cold
So I guess you broke my heart
Back where the dogwood flowers grow
Em9
White on the bloom
C9
That April moon
G D
It could have been forever darlin' had we stayed together
Em9
But you had to go
C
Time don't slow
G D
It took further from your home
D C
Back where the dogwood flowers grow
So I took to drinking
I guess you wouldn't recognize me
My souls torn and twisted
Like an old dogwood tree
We used to talk about forever
That was a million miles ago
So I'll see it if I see
Back where the dogwood flowers grow
White on the bloom
That April moon
You ain't dead set on leavin
When you miss the one you need
Just getting real
Hell remember when
You had that hand to hold
Back where the dogwood flowers grow
He switches back and forth between C and C9 and Em and Em9. Just whatever sounds
right to you.
