Morgan Montague chords by 
Jim Lauderdale 
N/A•
Key: Bb minor•BPM: 58
Verse 1
Am
Oh, I remember good times,
G
Am
but never half so well
As I remember bad times,
G
Am
the dates on which they fell
Dm
Am
I stole my brother's saddle,
Dm
Am
I stole my father's mare
Dm
Am
Swore I would return them
G
Am
to pay the reaper's share
G
Am
Pay the reaper's share,
pay the reaper's share
Swore I would return them
G
Am
to pay the reaper's share
My name is Morgan Montague,
G
Am
I sprang from foreign sea
F
I've seen widows born
G
Am
as lives away men bleed
Dm
I always did my duty,
Am
Dm
Am
as I saw it to be done
Maybe some do not agree,
who's askin' anyone?
G
Am
Askin' anyone?
G
Am
Askin' any one?
Maybe some do not agree,
G
Am
who's askin' anyone?
When at death's door
G
my father lay his mare
Am
I did return
But kept my brother's saddle
G
Am
until it came his turn
Dm
Am
To face his angry maker
Dm
Am
that day came so did I
Dm
Am
To drop his saddle by his bed
and let that poor man die
G
Am
Let that poor man die,
G
Am
let that poor man die
Drop his saddle by his bed
and let that poor man die
My name is Morgan Montague
G
Am
Moore, I will not say
Circumstance nor birthplace
G
Am
do I care to give away
Dm
Am
I do not, since I dare not,
Dm
Am
otherwise I would
My name is Morgan Montague,
G
Am
you're standing where I stood
G
Am
Standing where I stood,
G
you're standing where I stood
Am
My name is Morgan Montague,
G
Am
you're standing where I stood
You stand where I was standing
G
Am
when I heard the fatal word
Condemned to execution
G
April 23rd
Am
Dm
Am
If I had done the dreadful deed
Dm
Am
I would not flinch to die
Dm
Am
I'd have strung my own self up
G
Or know the reason why,
Am
G
know the reason why,
Am
G
Am
know the reason why
I'd have strung my own self up,
G
Am
or known the reason why
But I'm not allowed to rest
G
Am
while you walk free and tall
With family blood upon your hands,
G
Am
whatever may befall
Dm
Am
My name is Morgan Montague,
Dm
Am
my duty's call is clear
Dm
Am
Before the frost is on my grave,
G
Am
you'll lie beside me here
G
Lie be side me here,
Am
G
Am
love, lie beside me here
Before the frost is on my grave,
G
Am
you'll lie beside me here
Here lies Morgan Montague,
G
Am
he did not learn to trust
He was once a man like you,
G
Am
but now he's only dust
This is what I told them,
Dm
Am
should be my epitaph
Dm
Am
They wrote, here lies Montague,
G
Am
God got the final laugh
G
Am
Got the final laugh,
G
Am
God got the final laugh
They wrote, here lies Montague,
G
Am
God got the final laugh
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
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
