    • Verse 1
    (Paul 
    Siebel) 

    Verse 2
    Those other 
    years, 
    the 
    dusty 
    years 

    We 
    drove 
    the 
    big 
    hers 
    through 

    I tried 
    to 
    forget 
    the miles 
    we rode 

    And 
    Spanish 
    Johnny 
    too 

    He'd 
    sit 
    beside 
    a water 
    ditch 

    when 
    all 
    this 
    herd 
    was 
    in

    And 
    he'd never 
    harm 
    a child 

    but 
    sing 
    to 
    his 
    man
    dolin 

    Verse 3

    The 
    old 
    talk, 
    the 
    old 
    ways, 

    and 
    the 
    dealin' 
    of 
    our 
    game 

    But Spanish 
    Johnny 
    never 
    spoke, 

    but sing 
    a song 
    of Spain 

    And 
    his 
    talk 
    with 
    men 
    was 
    vicious 
    talk 

    When he 
    was 
    drunk 
    on 
    gin 

    Ah, 
    but 
    those 
    were 
    golden 
    things 
    he said 
    to 

    Interlude 1
    his 
    man
    dolin 




    Verse 4
    We 
    had 
    to stand, 
    we tried 
    to 
    judge, 

    we 
    had 
    to stop 
    him 
    then 

    For 
    the 
    hand 
    so 
    gentle 
    to 
    a 
    child 

    had 
    killed 
    so 
    many 
    men 

    He 
    died 
    a hard 
    death 
    long 
    ago 

    before 
    the 
    road 
    come 
    in 

    And 
    the night 
    before 
    he swung 

    he sung 
    to 
    his 
    man
    dolin 

    Verse 5

    Well, 
    we 
    carried 
    him out 
    in 

    the 
    mornin' 
    sun 

    A man 
    that 
    done 
    no 
    good 

    And 
    we 
    lowered 
    him 
    down 

    in 
    the cold 
    clay 

    Stuck 
    in 
    a cross 
    of 
    wood 

    And 
    a 
    letter 
    we 
    wrote 
    to 
    his 
    kinfolk 

    To tell 
    them 
    where 
    he'd 
    been 

    And 
    we shipped 
    it 
    out 
    to 
    Mexico, 

    along 
    with 
    his 
    man
    dolin

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
