Dog Gone Blues

©2011 Garrett Clevenger

G C G C G My dog's gone, I had to put her down.

G C G She's gone for bad, buried under the ground.

C G C Dog gone, she's gone forever. We'll never be again together.

G D G C G I've got the dog gone blues now.

G C G C G Like a ripple on the water it only lasts for a while.

G C G It drifts away like smoke from a fire.

C G C Before you know, it's gone cold, the water gets calm, death takes hold,

G D G C G but emptiness keeps it wired.

Chorus:

D C G It only feels bad when I remember she's gone.

D C G All the good times we had in my head still live on.

Em G D and I don't wish to forget those years of my life

C Em D G C G she was a part, so I miss her all the time.

G C G C G I never ever met someone so loyal.

G C G We're the classic case of a dog and his boy, oh.

C G C No one's been with me as much as my faithful doggie was

G D G C G and I miss her more than you will know.

G C G C G Think of something you love and hold dear,

G C G what gives you joy, makes you glad you're here.

C G C Appreciate what you got because tomorrow it may be gone.

G D G C G Believe me, it's a real fear.

{chorus}

G C G C G Caring for her taught me many things.

G C G Preparing me to be a dad, for what that brings.

C G C Patience, trust, how to use a firm hand, cleaning up, forgiving and

G D G C G having fun even, not wallowing.

{chorus}

C Em D she was a part, so I miss her

C Em D she fell apart, now I miss her

C Em D we’re now apart and I miss her

jam

C Em D she was a part, so I miss her

C Em D she fell apart, now I miss her

C Em D we’re now apart and I miss her

G C G all the time.
