East Texas Red chords by 
Cisco Houston
N/A•
Verse 1
D
Down in the scubble country
G
D
to the southeast Texas Gulf,
there used to ride a brakeman,
A
a brakeman double tough.
D
He worked the town of Kilgore
G
and Longview
twelve miles down.
D
G
D
And the travelers all said that Little East Texas Red,
A
D
he was the meanest bull around
If you rode by night or
the broad daylight,
G
D
in the wintry wind or the sun
You would always see
Little East Texas Red,
A
just a sportin' his smooth runnin' gun
D
And the tail got switched down
the stems and manes
G
D
And everybody said that the
G
D
meanest bull on them shiny irons
A
was that little East Texas red
D
It was on a cold and a windy morn,
G
D
it was along towards nine or ten
A couple of boys on the hunt of a job,
A
they stood in that blizzardy wind
D
Hungry and cold they knocked on the doors
G
of the working people around
D
G
For a piece of meat and a
D
carrot or a spud
A
D
just to boil a stew around
Well East Texas Red come down
the line
G
and he swung off that old number two
D
He kicked their bucket over
a bush
A
and he dumped out all of their stew
D
And the traveler said,
Little East Texas Red,
G
D
you better get your business straight
G
Cause you're gonna ride
D
your little black train
A
D
just one year from today
Well Red, he laughed and
he climbed the bank
G
D
and he swung on the side of a wheeler
And the boys caught a
tanker to Salmonell,
A
then west to Amarillo
D
They caught them a job of
oil field work
G
and they followed a pipeline down
D
G
D
It took them lots of places
A
D
before that year had rolled around
Then on a cold and a windy morn
G
D
they caught them a gulf -bound train
They shivered and shook with a dough
in their clothes
A
to the scrubble flats again
D
With their warm suits of clothes
and their overcoats
G
D
they walked into a store
G
They paid that man for some
D
meat and stuff
A
D
just to boil the stew once more
The ties they tracked down
that cinder dump
G
and they came to that same old spot
D
Where East Texas Red
just one year ago
A
had dumped their last stew pot
D
Well the smoke of their fire
went higher and higher
G
and Red come down the line
D
With his head ducked low
in that wintry wind
A
he waved old number nine
D
He walked on down through
the jungle yards
G
D
and he came to the same old spot
G
D
And there was the same two men again
A
around that same stew pot
D
Red went to his knees and he hollered,
G
Please don't pull your trigger on me.
D
I did not get my business straight,
A
But he did not get his say.
D
A gun wheeled out of an
overcoat
G
D
And it played that 0 -1 -2.
G
And Red was dead when the other
D
two men
A
D
Sat down to eat their stew. 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 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
