Verse 1
G

Well, the old man was covered

with tattoos and scars
C

He got some in prison and others in bars
D

And the rest he got workin'
G

on old junk cars in the daytime

they looked like like tombstones in our yard
C

And I never seen him
D

when he wasn't tired and mean
G

Verse 2
G

Well, he sold used parts to make ends meet
C

Covered with grease

from his head to his feet
D

Cussing the sweat
G

and the Texas heat and mosquitoes

And the neighbors said we lived like hicks
C

But they brum their cars
D
G

for my pa to fix anyhow
Verse 3
G

While he was veteran proud, tried and true
C

He fought 'til his heart was black and blue
D

And I don't know how
G

how he made it through the hard times

He bought our house on the GI Bill
C

But it wasn't worth
D
G

all he had to kill to get it
Verse 4
G

He drank Pearl in a can, Jack Daniel's black
C

Chewed tobacco from a mail pouch sack
D

And he had an old dog
G

that was trained to attack sometimes

While he'd get drunk

and mean as a rattlesnake
C

Never wasn't too much
D
G

that he would take from a stranger
Pre-chorus 1

I was 13 kids and a bunch of dogs
G

A house full of chickens and a yard full of hogs

I spent the summertime

cuttin' up logs for the winter

Working like a slave for my room and board

Cold burning stoves, no natural gas

I'll kiss your ass
Verse 5
G

Well, my mama sold eggs at a grocery store
C

And my oldest sister was a first-rate whore
D

My daddy said she couldn't come
G

home anymore, and he meant it

Now, mama, she was old, far beyond her time
C

And her hair was gray,

and I've seen her crying
D

She was talking about Junior,
G

said he was dying in prison
Verse 6
G

Why, she told all the neighbors

he was off to the war
C

He was fighting for courage,
D
G

he was good to the core, and she was proud

Now, our house

was a graveyard for automobile
C

And around the porch

was a bunch of old wheels
D

And some used Harley-Davidson parts
G

that we sold for cash
Pre-chorus 2
C
D

There was 50 holes and an old tin roof

Me and my family was living proof

And everybody called me old poor white trash

And if that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass

And I'm dreaming tonight of my blue eyes

I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels

That a little late

  • 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.
