Ludlow Massacre chords by 
Woody Guthrie 
N/A•
Key: E major•BPM: 64
Verse 1
D
It was early springtime
when the strike was on,
G
D
They drove us miners out of doors,
Out from the houses that
the Company owned,
A
D
We moved into tents up at old Ludlow.
Verse 2
D
I was worried bad about my children,
G
Soldiers guarding the railroad bridge,
D
Every once in a while a
bullet would fly,
A
D
Kick up gravel under my feet.
Verse 3
D
We were so afraid you
would kill our children,
G
D
We dug us a cave that was seven foot deep,
G
Carried our young ones and
D
pregnant women
A
Down inside the cave to sleep.
D
Verse 4
That very night your soldiers waited,
G
D
Until all us miners were asleep,
G
D
You snuck around our little tent town,
A
Soaked our tents with your kerosene.
D
Verse 5
You struck a match and
in the blaze that started,
G
D
You pulled the triggers of your gatling guns,
I made a run for the children but
the fire wall stopped me.
A
D
Thirteen children died from your guns.
Verse 6
D
I carried my blanket to a wire
fence corner,
G
D
Watched the fire till the blaze died down,
I helped some people drag
their belongings,
A
D
While your bullets killed us all around.
Verse 7
D
I never will forget the look on
the faces
G
D
Of the men and women that awful day,
When we stood around
to preach their funerals,
A
And lay the corpses
D
of the dead away.
G
We told the Colorado Governor
Verse 8
D
to
call the President,
G
D
Tell him to call off his National Guard,
But the National Guard
belonged to the Governor,
A
D
So he didn't try so very hard.
Verse 9
D
Our women from Trinidad they
hauled some potatoes,
G
D
Up to Walsenburg in a little cart,
They sold their potatoes and brought some guns back,
A
D
And they put a gun in every hand.
Verse 10
D
The state soldiers jumped us in
a wire fence corners,
G
D
They did not know we had these guns,
And the Red- neck Miners mowed
down these troopers,
A
D
You should have seen those poor boys run.
Verse 11
D
We took some cement and walled that cave up,
G
Where you killed these thirteen
D
children inside,
I said, "God bless the Mine
Workers' Union,"
A
D
And then I hung my head and cried.

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!!!”

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
