vers:

D5 d d f g

2 Then I thought about the time we had;

3 That old king was a friend of mine,

4 I had a dog and his name was king,

d d d C g g

once when I kicked him when he was bad.

never knew a dog that was half as fine

I told the dog ablout every thing

D5 d d d

Old King sure meant a lot to me

I may find one,but i never do know

Old king sure meant a lot to me

d d C G5 F5

but that hound dog is his-to - ry (play intro+chorus)

'cause I still got a long way to go (play intro)

ut that hound dog is his -to -ry (play intro+chorus)

(play midplay*2 and improvise)

end on D5

That's it pal.

Oh!- the bass tab well- play half note's and additional fourthnotes.

But most of all- get the rythm right!-this is country.
