The Testimony Of Soddy Hoe chords by 
Jerry Reed 
N/A•
Key: A major•BPM: 107
Verse 1
G
Howdy, my name's Soddy,
Soddy Ho.
And you know, I heard all my life
that if you want to be on record,
you got to write songs that touch people.
And I would like to try to touch you
with a song I wrote called A
Testimony of Soddy Ho,
also known as Ain't Nobody
Never Told Me Nothin'.
It goes like this. One day,
my truck run out of gas
on Route 1
C
and I was thumbing into town
G
going to get me something when these
A
three dudes in this big black car
C
pulled over to the side.
G
C
G
They said, hey boy,
come over here and let's talk.
C
I now look, if you're going to town,
G
that's an awful long walk,
A
but if you don't mind driving,
D
I'm a little tired,
A
G
I'll give you a ride. I said, fine.
He said, well,
if you've got a driving license,
what's your name?
C
I said, no, I ain't got no license.
Soddy's my name,
A
D
but I sure drive to hell, I just think.
G
So I got in the office with me.
We were riding along
and I said, what kind of work y 'all in?
C
The dude in the back car left,
he just grinned.
A
Then he looked at
D
them other two dudes
and he said,
G
A
C
Ain't nobody ever told me nothin'
G
That they didn't want me to know
E
A
D
G
Only anybody ever told me where to go
C
Now there ain't nobody
G
E
so much as givin' the time of day
A
They never told me nothin'
D
G
Em
D
so I ain't got nothin' to say
G
Now folks, you see,
Soddy's fixin' to get
in a heap of trouble
D
You see, cause when we got to town,
G
I told them things
They said, well look,
we got a business deal
here at the bank
Why don't you sit out in the
A
car and watch it, boss
C
And when we finish, we'll buy you a beer."
I said, fine.
D
G
So I sit there pickin' my teeth,
D
and I seen this gas station
over across the street.
C
I thought, well, shoot,
A
while they're in the bank,
D
I'll just go get some gas from
G
my truck while I'm here.
So I did.
And I was on the self -service aisle,
C
pumpin' some gas in the can,
when this great big cop
A
come up a -screamin' at everybody,
D
wavin' his hand.
G
He said, everybody,
stay where you are,
C
that black vehicle is a stolen car.
Is that yours, boy?
A
I said, no, officer,
D
G
I'm just puttin' gas in this can.
Verse 2
C
There ain't nobody ever
told me nothin'
Verse 3
G
E
But that they didn't want me to know
Verse 4
A
D
All anybody ever told me
G
was where to go
Verse 5
C
Keep telling, buddy! Now there
ain't nobody so much
G
E
as give me the time of day
Verse 6
A
They never told me nothin'
D
G
E
G
so I ain't got nothin' to say
Verse 7
Yeah, see, Soddy may be
dumb like a box of rocks,
but he knows that police
ain't gonna buy none of this.
See, but before Soddy even
had time to think,
when the burglar alarm
C
G
went off over at the bank,
Well, here come them dudes runnin' out
with their arms loaded full of money,
C
brandishin' guns.
A
G
Well, they looked for the car,
and then they looked for me.
C
Well, they didn't see
G
neither one of us
C
where we was supposed to be.
A
G
Well, son, you shoulda seen the
look on their face
C
when they didn't have nowhere to run.
G
Why, they was a -screamin'.
They was a -hollerin',
jumpin' up and down.
C
And the money was spillin'
all over on the ground
A
about the time me
D
and that officer walked
G
over there on the scene.
Well, the dude called left,
and he pulled me over to the side,
C
and he said, Where did you put
the damn car knucklehead?
A
D
I didn't look at left and I said brother wait

The time of day they never told me nothing.
D
G
I ain't got nothing to say except hey
C
I know where you going
when you leave him brother,
G
and I know well side it's going to
E
A
And if I had my brothers, brother,
D
G

than going with you.
C
How's that for being ignorant?
G
E
Oh, huh?

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.”
