I saw this song live and this is how he played it then. I know its pretty
simple, but this is how he did it.
As of when this I tabbed this out,the lyrics are not on the internet
so there may be some mistakes. I did my best but there are some
spots where I have no clue what he says, mainly in last chorus. Once
official (or better) lyrics come out, I will make corrections as needed.
Furthermore, he does some hammer-ons and pull-offs on the high E string on
the D chord. I didnt add those in, so just do them as you see fit.
Standard tuning
No Capo
Intro: Em C G D x2
[Em]Dancing on the cr[C]eek bank
[G]Blue eyes and aubu[D]rn hair
[Em]It was the best years[C] of our lives
[G]We didnt have a [D]care
[Em]Going 90 miles an [C]hour
[G]Truck and an old d[D]irt road
[Em]Two young as[C]s kids
[D]Back where the dogwood flowers gr[C]ow
[Em] [C] [G] [D]
[Em]Then graduation [C]came
[G]You was big city[D] bound
[Em]And I was going n[C]owhere fast
[G]So I just hung ar[D]ound
[Em]By the next time I see[C]n ya
[G]Your love had turne[D]d cold
[Em]So I guess you broke m[C]y heart
[D]Back where the dogwood flower[C]s grow
( Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/w/whiskey_myers/dogwood_crd.html )
Wild on the b[Em]loom
That April m[C]oon
It c[G]ould have been forever
Darling t[D]hat we stayed together
But you had to[Em] go
And time don[C]t slow
[G]It took you further from your h[D]ome
Back where the dogwood flowe[Em]rs grow
[C] [G] [D] [Em] [C] [G] [D]
[Em]So I took to d[C]rinking
[G]I guess you wouldnt recogn[D]ize me
[Em]My souls been torn and tw[C]isted
[G]Like that old dogwoo[D]d tree
[Em]We used to talk about fo[C]rever
[G]That was a million miles [D]ago so
[Em]I see ya if I s[C]ee ya
[D]Back where the dogwood flowe[C]rs grow
Wild on the bl[Em]oom
That April m[C]oon
If you [G]aint dead set on leaving
and you [D]miss the one you need
just turn a[Em]round
And rememb[C]er when
[G]You had that hand to h[D]old
Back where the dogwood flower[Em]s grow[C]
The dogwood flowers[G] grow[D]
The dogwood flower[Em]s grow[C][G][D]
Em C (one strum of each of these chords)
The dogwood flowers grow
