Billy Richardson's Last Ride chords by 
Grandpa Jones 
N/A•
Key: D major•BPM: 54
Verse 1
D
G
D
G
Through the
West Virginia mountains
C
G
Came the early morning mail
Old Number Three was westbound,
A
D
the fastest on the rail
G
She pulled right into Hinton,
C
G
a junction on the line
With a ball and mountain engine,
D
G
she made the run on time
Billy Richardson at Hinton
C
G
was called to take the run
To pull the fastest mail train
A
D
from there to Huntington
G
His fireman, he reported,
C
G
fought duty on the line
Then reading that train order,
D
G
left Hinton right on time
And Billy told his fireman
C
that he would happy be
G
If he could die while pulling
A
D
a train like number three
G
I want to die on duty,
C
G
right in my Captain Heave
While pullin' east bound number four
D
G
C
G
D
G
Or west bound number three
The fireman then said, Billy
C
G
You know you're old and gray
Your name is on the pension list
A
D
You should retire some day
G
But Billy said, dear fireman
C
G
The truth I'm tellin' you
I'm a guy runnin' my engine cabin,
D
G
nothin' else will do
Then pullin' down New River,
C
G
came westbound number three
By Thurman and by Cotton Hill,
A
D
what danger could it be?
G
His head then struck a mail crane
C
G
while pullin' down the line
He'll never pull his train again
D
G
through Huntington on time
He pulled the fastest time break,
C
G
he pulled the U .S. mail
He pulled a fast excursion
A
D
to the music of the rail
G
He lost his life on duty
C
G
in his engine cab supreme
While pullin' in Montgomery
D
G
C
G
D
G
on westbound number three
Now ladies, if your husband is
C
G
a railroad engineer
You know he is in danger
A
and death is ever near
D
G
You know he loves you dearly
C
G
when he is by your side
But remember well that his next run
D
G
may be his farewell ride

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
