Ol'Red by Blake Shelton 
*CAPO ONE* 
*note* a lot of the long stretches of "E" in the verses as well as the  
chorus jump back and forth from E to E7, the exact timing doesn't really  
matter, just play with it to find what sounds the best. 
 
Intro: E       D   A 
 
E 
Well I caught my wife with another man 
        D       A      E 
And it cost me ninety-nine 
E 
On a prison farm in Georgia 
                      B 
Close to the Florida line 
E 
Well I?ve been here for two long years 
D                   A          E 
I finally made the warden my friend 
E 
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease 
B                   E 
Taking care of Ol? Red 
 
Now Ol? Red he?s the damndest dog 
That I?ve ever seen 
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail 
He?s a four legged tracking machine 
You can consider yourself mighty lucky to get past 
The gators and the quicksand beds 
But all these years that I been here 
Ain?t nobody got past Red 
 

[Refrão]
E 
And the warden sang, 
E7           E   E7             E 
Come on somebody why don?t you run 
E7         E         B             E 
Ol? Red?s itchin to have a little fun 
E7      E        E7     E 
Get my lantern, get my gun 
E7                E              B       E 
Red?ll have you treed ?fore the morning comes 
 
E                        D  A 
 
 
Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter 
To my cousin up in Tennessee 
Oh and he brought down a blue tick hound 
She was pretty as she could be 
Well the penned her up in the swampland 
About a mile just south of the gate 
And I?d take Ol? Red for his evening run 
I?d just drop him off and wait 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
Now Ol? Red got real used to seeing 
His lady every night 
And so I kept him away for three or four days 
And waited til the time got right 
Well I made my run with the evening sun 
And I smiled when I heard ?em turn Red out 
Cause I was headed north to Tennessee 
And Ol? Red was headed south 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
E 
Now there?s red hair blue ticks all in the south 
E                        B           E 
Love got me in here and love got me out
