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               C 
Dancing on the creek bank 
G                 D 
Blue eyes and auburn hair 
Em                   C 
It was the best years of our lives 
G               D 
We didnt have a care 
Em                C 
Going 90 miles an hour 
G                 D 
Truck and an old dirt road 
Em          C 
Two young ass kids 
D                                C 
Back where the dogwood flowers grow 

Em C G D 

Em              C 
Then graduation came 
G               D 
You was big city bound 
Em               C 
And I was going nowhere fast 
G                D 
So I just hung around 
Em                    C 
By the next time I seen ya 
G                  D 
Your love had turned cold 
Em                    C 
So I guess you broke my heart 
D                            C 
Back where the dogwood flowers grow 

             Em 
Wild on the bloom 
            C 
That April moon 
    G 
It could have been forever 
         D 
Darling that we stayed together 
              Em 
But you had to go 
            C 
And time dont slow 
G                              D 
It took you further from your home 
                            Em 
Back where the dogwood flowers grow 

C G D Em C G D 

Em            C 
So I took to drinking 
G                         D 
I guess you wouldnt recognize me 
Em                       C 
My souls been torn and twisted 
G                   D 
Like that old dogwood tree 
Em                      C 
We used to talk about forever 
G                        D 
That was a million miles ago so 
Em             C 
I see ya if I see ya 
D                           C 
Back where the dogwood flowers grow 

              Em 
Wild on the bloom 
            C 
That April moon 
       G 
If you aint dead set on leaving 
        D 
and you miss the one you need 
           Em 
just turn around 
          C 
And remember when 
G                     D 
You had that hand to hold 
                             Em         C    
Back where the dogwood flowers grow 
                   G        D 
The dogwood flowers grow 
                  Em        C    G     D 
The dogwood flowers grow 
                  Em         C  (one strum of each of these chords) 
The dogwood flowers grow
