[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

King went a-sniffing and he would go

Was the best old hound dog

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]

But that hound dog is his-to-ry
