Capo on first fret
verse 1:
    E                       A        E
She marked our trail up the backbone ridge.
C#m                B   E
How many times can one dog pee?
E                                   A       E
Keeps me high as an eagle, when I'm on the skids.
            C#m        B            E
I guess she gotta come down eventually.

Chorus:
E     A         E         B     E
Buddy I could'a gone that extra mile.
       A     E           B     A
For an extra bark, or an extra smile.
      A       B       C#m
Cause I never felt so free,
       B       A       E
It was just my dog and me.


Verse 2:
         E                              A        E
Then she gives me that look, like she'd lay down her life.
   C#m                  B       E
No doubt she would in a minute, man.
      E                         A    E
She'd face the bullet, oh she'd face the knife.
        C#m                   B      E
Just to keep my butt from the fryin' pan.


Chorus:
E         A           E       B          E
Now she's runnin' up ahead to chase some deer.
      A       E                B        C#m
Comes back to tell me that the coast is cleared.
       A         B       C#m
It's a different world I see,
          B       A       E
when it's just my dog and me.

E       A    E          C#m
There's a rabbit on the run.
C#m     B         A       E
Man and beast and sky and sun.

Chorus:
E     A              B            C#m
Who's talking to the birds in the trees?
         B       A       E
Why it's just my dog and me.


Verse 3:
E                         A      E
Now it looks like we been makin' tracks,
         C#m                  B          E
from the crack of dawn to the end of the day.
        E                      A       E
So it's nice and easy down the devil's back.
C#m                   B     E
She wouldn't know any other way.

Chorus:
E        A         E         B        E
Now it's over that ridge for one last mile,
            A    E            B    A
then we're fast asleep by the fireside.
A              B          C#m
Dreamin' these dreams for free.
          B       A       E
Yeah it's just my dog and me.

A       B        C#m
I never felt so free.
      B       A       E
It is just my dog and me.
