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.
