	        Written & performed by Alan Jackson 
 
 
 
Intro : D 
 
D                          G      D                          
Well I first kiss you on a hollow log 
D                      A        D 
Down by the river they call the Dog 
D                      G          D 
We fell in love and we vowed that day 
D                              A          D 
Like the flow of the river our love won't change 
D                                  G       D 
Well we married that spring and we built a house 
D                                  A         D 
On the bank of the river where the rock juts out 
D                              G           D 
Now the river's still here but you're long gone 
D                              A         D 
You left me and the river here all alone 
 

D         G   A     D 
I got the Dog River Blues 
D           G        A       D 
I've walked holes in both my shoes 
      G             A           D         G 
Now I still got the river but I ain't got you 
          D   A     D 
I got the Dog River blues
 
 
D                               G          D 
Well the rain came down and the river rose up 
D                       A      D 
Filled up the cab on my pickup truck 
D                        G        D 
It came in the house and down the hall 
D                             A           D 
And washed your picture right off the wall 
 
Chorus 
 
Solo (Chorus CHORDS) 
D                                  G           D 
Well my heart still yearns and the river still rolls 
D                  A               D 
And I pray someday it'll bring you home 
D                                G       D 
So if you change your mind honey I'll be here 
D                            A           D 
Waiting on the banks of that ol'Dog River 
 
Chorus 
 
Chorus 
 
     G             A           D         G 
Oh I still got the river but I ain't got you 
          D   A     D 
I got the Dog River blues
