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

Chorus:
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
