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.
