The Tenderfoot chords by
Oscar Brand
Oscar Brand

N/A
Verse 1
C

One day I thought I would

have some fun,
F
C

I'd see how punching cows was done.

So the week of the cattle run,
F
C

I cornered the cattle king.
F
C

Says he, my foreman has gone to town,
G

He's in a saloon, his name is Brown.
C

Look him up and he'll take you down,
F
G
C

Says I, that's just the thing.

We started for the ranch next day,
F
C

Brown he talked to me all the way.

He says, punchin' cows is play,
F
C

why it isn't work at all.
F
C
G

All you gotta do is ride as easy

as floatin' with the tide.
C

That son of a gun, how he lied,
F
G
C

he certainly had his gall.

Sometimes the cattle would make a break
F
C

Out across the plains they would take

Like they was racin' for a stake
F
C

Or maybe a raisin' pay
F

Sometimes my horse
C

would stumble and fall
G

And I couldn't stop myself at all
C

I'd fly through the air like a cannonball
F
G
C

Till the ground come up my way

Then they tied me on to an old greyhack
F
C

With saddle -horns upon his back.

They bedded me down with a gunny -sack
F
C

And pillows and blankets all.
F
C

When I got on him he left the ground,
G

He went up in the air

and he circled around.
C

I fell off, I busted the ground,
F
G
C

Oh, brother, was that a fall!

Well, they picked me up

and they carried me in,
F

They rubbed me down
C

with a rolling pin.

That's the way they all begin,
F
C

You're do ing fine, said Brown,
F

And tomorrow morning,
C

if you don't die,
G

I'll give you another horse to try.
C

Do you mind if I walk, says I,
F

A cowboy walk, you're fired,
G

get back to town.
C

Well, I traveled up and I traveled down,
F
C

Lived in cities, I lived in the town,

Traveled the whole wide

world around,
F
C

I've got this much to say.
F

Before you go cow punch and
C

kiss your wife,
G

Put a heavy insurance upon your life,
C

Then cut your throat with a butcher knife,
F
G
C

It's easier to die that way. you

  • 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.
