	        Ol'Red by Blake Shelton 
*CAPO ONE* 
*note* a lot of the long stretches of 'E' in the verses as well as the  
chorus jump back and forth from E to E7, the exact timing doesn't really  
matter, just play with it to find what sounds the best. 
 
Intro: E       D   A 
 
E 
Well I caught my wife with another man 
        D       A      E 
And it cost me ninety-nine 
E 
On a prison farm in Georgia 
                      B 
Close to the Florida line 
E 
Well I?ve been here for two long years 
D                   A          E 
I finally made the warden my friend 
E 
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease 
B                   E 
Taking care of Ol? Red 
 
Now Ol? Red he?s the damndest dog 
That I?ve ever seen 
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail 
He?s a four legged tracking machine 
You can consider yourself mighty lucky to get past 
The gators and the quicksand beds 
But all these years that I been here 
Ain?t nobody got past Red 
 
E And the warden sang, E7 E E7 E Come on somebody why don?t you run E7 E B E Ol? Red?s itchin to have a little fun E7 E E7 E Get my lantern, get my gun E7 E B E Red?ll have you treed ?fore the morning comes
E D A Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter To my cousin up in Tennessee Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound She was pretty as she could be Well the penned her up in the swampland About a mile just south of the gate And I?d take Ol? Red for his evening run I?d just drop him off and wait REPEAT CHORUS Now Ol? Red got real used to seeing His lady every night And so I kept him away for three or four days And waited til the time got right Well I made my run with the evening sun And I smiled when I heard ?em turn Red out Cause I was headed north to Tennessee And Ol? Red was headed south REPEAT CHORUS E Now there?s red hair blue ticks all in the south E B E Love got me in here and love got me out
