(Em) Dancing on a (C)creek bank, (G) blue eyes and auburn (D) hair
(Em) It was the best years (C) of our lives, (G) we didn't have a (D)care

(Em) I wasn't going (C)nowhere fast, (G) so I just hung a-(D)round
(Em) By the next time I (C)seen you, (G) your love had turned (D) cold
(Em) So I guess you broke my (C) heart, (D) back where the dogwood flowers (C) grow

(Chorus)
White on the (Em)bloom that April (C)moon
It (G)could have been forever, darling, (D) had we stayed together
But you had to (Em)go, time don't (C) slow
(G) It took you further from your (D)home, back where the dogwood flowers (Em) grow

(Em) My soul's been torn and (C)twisted, (G) like that old dogwood (D) tree

And so, (Em) I'll see if I (C)see, (D) back where the dogwood flowers (C) grow

(Chorus)
White on the (Em)bloom that April (C)moon
