Coward Of The County chords by 
Tommy Cash
N/A•
Verse 1
G
Everyone considered him
C
G
the coward of the county.
He never stood one single time
D
to prove the county wrong.
G
His mama named him Tommy.
C
G
Folks just called him yellow
But something always told me
They were reading Tommy wrong
He was only ten years old
C
G
When his daddy died in prison
I looked after Tommy
D
Cause he was my brother's son
G
I still recall the final words
C
G
My brother said to Tommy,
he said, son, my life is over
D
G
but yours has just begun.
Promise me, son,
C
G
not to do the things I've done.
C
G
D
Walk away from trouble if you can.
G
It won't mean you're weak
C
if you turn the other cheek
G
C
I hope you're old enough
D
to understand
Son, you don't have to
G
fight to be a man
Ab
There's someone for everyone
Db
Ab
Tommy's love was Becky
In her arms she didn't have
Eb
to prove he was a man
Ab
One day while he was workin'
Db
Ab
the Gat lin boys came callin'
They took turns at Becky
Eb
Ab
and there was three of them
Tommy opened up the door
Db
Ab
and saw his Becky cryin'
The torn dress, the shattered look,
Eb
was more than he could stand
Ab
He reached above the fireplace,
Db
Ab
took down his daddy's picture
As tears fell on his daddy's face,
Eb
Ab
he heard these words again
Promise me, son,
Db
Ab
not to do the things I've done
Db
Ab
Eb
walk away from trouble if you can
Ab
it won't mean you're weak
Db
if you turn the other cheek
Ab
Db
I hope you're old enough
Eb
to understand
son you don't have to fight to be a man
Ab
A
Gatlin boys just laughed at him
D
A
when he walked into the bar room
one of them got up and met him
E
halfway across the floor
A
When Tommy turned around,
D
A
he said, look, old Yella's leavin'
But you could have heard a pin drop
E
when Tommy stopped and
A
locked the door
Twenty years of crawlin'
D
A
was bottled up inside him
He wasn't holdin' nothin' back,
E
he let him have it all
A
When Tommy left the bar room,
D
A
not a Gatlin' boy was standin'
He said, this one's for Becky,
E
as he watched the last one fall
A
And I heard him say, I promised you, Dad,
D
A
not to do the things you've done
D
A
E
I walk away from trouble if I can
A
Now please don't think I'm weak
D
I didn't turn the other cheek
A
D
And Papa, I sure hope you
E
understand
Sometimes you gotta fight
A
when you're a man
Everyone considered him
D
The coward of the county you

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

“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
