E MajorE                     B7B7             E MajorE
Oh and they brought down a bluetick hound she was pretty as she could be
E MajorE                    D MajorD         A augmentedA       E MajorE

Now Ol Red got real used to seeing his lady every night
E MajorE                     B7B7              E MajorE
