A    D         A
Hey, hound dog man
E         F#m       E         A    E
Where you been now, where you been?
A           D        A
I wish that you were back
E           F#m     E    A
you was too good to ever end

Once in a while someone like you

Will give everything for what they want to do
A    D         A
Hey, hound dog man

My old friend, play it again

You gave the world a whole lot of joy
    E          F#m       E       A
Now that ain't bad for a country boy
E      A        D         A
I just knew you could not lose
    E        F#m          E        A
The way you sang rock and roll and blues
         D                A
I still think about these things
E       F#m    E       D
And the memory that it brings

Hey, hound dog man
E      F#m     E       A
My old friend, play it again

Sammy Cooke and my teenage queen

Marilyn Monroe and hot rod fun

I still think about these things
E       F#m    E       D
And the memory that it brings
A    D         A
Hey, hound dog man
E      F#m     E        A   E
My old friend, play it again
A    D         A
Hey, hound dog man

My old friend, why did it end?
