Dogwood
Key: EEasyEm
C
G
D
I saw this song live and this is how he played it then. I know its pretty
simple, but this is how he did it.
As of when this I tabbed this out,the lyrics are not on the internet
so there may be some mistakes. I did my best but there are some
spots where I have no clue what he says, mainly in last Chorus. Once
official (or better) lyrics come out, I will make corrections as needed.
Furthermore, he does some hammer-ons and pull-offs on the high E string on
the D chord. I didnt add those in, so just do them as you see fit.
Standard tuning
No Capo
EmDancing on the crCeek bank
GBlue eyes and aubuDrn hair
EmIt was the best yearsC of our lives
GWe didnt have a Dcare
EmGoing 90 miles an Chour
GTruck and an old dDirt road
EmTwo young asCs kids
DBack where the dogwood flowers grCow

EmThen graduation Ccame
GYou was big cityD bound
EmAnd I was going nCowhere fast
GSo I just hung arDound

DBack where the dogwood flowerCs grow
Wild on the bEmloom
That April mCoon
It cGould have been forever
Darling tDhat we stayed together
But you had toEm go
And time donCt slow
GIt took you further from your hDome
Back where the dogwood floweEmrs grow
CGDEmCGD
EmSo I took to dCrinking
GI guess you wouldnt recognDize me
EmMy souls been torn and twCisted
GLike that old dogwooDd tree
EmWe used to talk about foCrever
GThat was a million miles Dago so
EmI see ya if I sCee ya
DBack where the dogwood floweCrs grow
Wild on the blEmoom
That April mCoon
If you Gaint dead set on leaving
and you Dmiss the one you need

DHear the blast from a shotgun

D Ain 't no two-bit lawman
D Got a chance in hell of takin ' my life
DSpend most of my nights down by a campfire
D Light up the stars with my game
D Left home at only fifteen

C Ridin 'G across theD plain
C From MoGntana down to DMexico
C Tryin ' tGo find a betteDr way
DI see our names on railroad posters
Sayin ' we 're wanted all around this land
Got ambushed by 16 enemy soldiers
At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon
DBullets spread out over the horizon
There was no fear in our eyes
Hear they sent 16 in to get us
Word is that only two survived.
DHeaded down south to hangouts in Mexico
Gonna to let the smoke clear for a while
Taking that low down dirty tequila
Them senoritas sure make us smile
DSome say we 're no longer livin
Half a million voices took our lives
If you hear the blast from a shotgun
Might see us reappear into the night
