[Intro]
D5

[Chorus]
G
King went a-running after deer
                                          D5
Wasn't scared of jumping off the truck in high gear
G
King went a-sniffing and he would go
G
Was the best old hound dog
D5         C    G  G/F
I ever did know

[Verse 1]
D5
I had a dog and his name was King
                     C
I told the dog about everything
D5
There in my truck the dog and I
                 C    G      G/F
Then one day the King up and died

[Interlude]
D5    C  D5    C  D5

[Verse 2]
D5
Then I thought about the times we had
                            C
Once when I kicked him when he was bad
D5
Old King sure meant a lot to me
                      C   G  G/F D5
But that hound dog is his-to-ry

[Chorus]
G
King went a-running after deer
                                               D5
Wasn't scared of jumping off the truck in high gear
G
King went a-sniffing and he would go
G
Was the best old hound dog
  D5   C   G    G/F
I ever did know

[Verse 3]
D5
That old King was a friend of mine
                          G
Never knew a dog that was half as fine
D5
I may find one, you never do know
                      C    G      G/F D5
Because I still got a long way to go

[Verse 4]
D5
I had a dog and his name was King
                     C
I told the dog about everything
D5
Old King sure meant a lot to me
                      C   G  G/F D5
But that hound dog is his-to-ry

[Chorus]
G
King went a-running after deer
                                               D5
Wasn't scared of jumping off the truck in high gear
G
King went a-sniffing and he would go
G
Was the best old hound dog
  D5   C   G    G/F
I ever did know
