Dog Years chords by HARDY

Original Key: D Major


 🎸 Intro:

 G D G D

 🎸 Verse:
 D
 I was a blacktop traveler
 D
 An accident waiting to happen
 G
 And thank God you and your Daddy pulled over and let that tailgate down
 D
 Never would I have imagined
 D                                                G
 When you set me up in the back of that truck I'd fell in the hands of a new best friend
 Em                 A
 Looking back at it now

 🎸 Chorus:
 G
 That was the best life I could ask for
 G                                      D
 Bruises and cuts and covered in mud and feet up on the dashboard
 D
 Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world
 Em
 And you and me, made a good team
 F#m                               G
 You took me in when I didn't have a prayer
 G                 D
 That was the best life I could ask for
 Em                   A              G   D
 Now that I'm looking back on those dog years

 🎸 Verse:
 D
 Something about those little things
 D
 Flathead cats on a riverbank
 G
 Chasing white tail deer
 G
 Stealin' your Dad's beer
 G
 You'd pour a little on the ground for me
 D
 And who could forget that first kiss
 D
 Come to think of it, man, I'm sure I convinced her
 G
 When she asked if you were next
 D/F#            Em          A
 After I laid one on her cheek


 🎸 Chorus:
 G
 Yeah, that was the best life I could ask for
 D
 Bruises and cuts and covered in mud and feet up on the dashboard
 D
 Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world
 Em
 And you and me, made a good team
 F#m                               G
 You took me in when I didn't have a prayer
 G                 D
 That was the best life I could ask for
 Em                   A              G
 Now that I'm looking back on those dog years
 G        D   A
 Mm hmm, hmm

 🎸 Bridge:
 G                                        D/F#
 And right now I know you're fightin' a lot of feelings

 Starin' at me
 Em                                          F#m
 Knowin' this time when you scratch my head it'll probably be the last
 G
 But if I could speak your language
 D/F#                             Em
 All that I would Do is thank you for the best years
 Em                            A
 Though they went by seven times too fast

 🎸 Chorus:
 G
 That was the best life I could ask for
 G                                      D
 Bruises and cuts and covered in mud and feet up on the dashboard
 D
 Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world
 Em
 And you and me, made a good team
 F#m                               G
 You took me in when I didn't have a prayer
 G                D/F#
 That was the best life I could ask for
 G              D/F#
 The best life I could ask for
 G                  D/F#
 The best life I could ask for
 Em                  A             D
 Now that I'm looking back on those dog years
 G
 All those dog years
