Elvis Presley – Hound Dog
 
 
You can play it this way……:
 
 
[Verse]
 
                        G
    You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
    G
    cryin' all the time.
                              C7
    You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
                     G
    cryin' all the time.
                     D7
    Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
         C7                 G
    and you ain't no friend of mine.
 
 
…or you can play it this way:

B|-----1----4--1----|
G|------------------|
D|------------------|
A|------------------|

    You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

            F                  C
    and you ain't no friend of mine.
 
 
[Verse]
 
     C
    When they said you was high classed,
    C
    well, that was just a lie.
                            Riff 1
    When they said you was high classed,
                   C
    well, that was just a lie.
                    G7
    You ain't never caught a rabbit
            F                  C
    and you ain't no friend of mine

C, F, C, G, F, C Thats it!

This is a good tab, the main thing wrong with it is that they don’t have the capo on the 5th fret. Other than that there are some minor errors, all in all good tab. People should try putting a capo on the frets and play the chords before the jump into the comment section to bash the tab.

HEY MAN YOU NEED TO HEAR THE SONG MORE OFTEN SO THAT YOU'LL GET IT MORE ACURRATE...ITS DEFINITELY NOT G THAT YOU STAR OFF WITH...
