I Never Picked Cotton chords by
Roy Rogers
Roy Rogers

N/A
Verse 1
C

I never picked cotton

But my mother did, and my brother did,

and my sister did

And my daddy died young,
G
C

workin' in a coal mine

When I was just a baby,

too little for a cotton sack

I played in the dirt while the others worked

Till they couldn't straighten up their backs

I made myself a promise

when I was big enough to run

That I'd never stay a single day

in that Oklahoma sun
G
C

But I never picked cotton

But my mother did and my brother did

and my sister did

And my daddy died young,
G
C
C#

workin' in a coal mine

They said I grew up early,

and that farm couldn't hold me then

I stole ten bucks in a pick -up truck

and I never went back again

Then it was fast cars and whiskey,

long -haired girls and fun

I had everything that money could bring,

and I took it all with a gun
Ab
C#

But I never picked cotton

But my mother did, and my brother did,

and my sister did,

and my daddy died young,
Ab
C#
D

workin' in a coal mine.

In a Saturday night in Memphis,

when a redneck grabbed my shirt,

when he said,

go back to your cotton sack,

I left him dyin' in the dirt.

They'll take me in the morning

to the gallery just outside

In the time I've got there

ain't a heck of a lot

that I can look back on with pride
A
D

But I'll never pick cotton

But my mother did, and my brother did,

and my sister did

And my daddy died young,
A
D

workin' in a coal mine

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • 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

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
