    Verse 1
    There's 
    a great 
    American 
    hero, 

    we 
    all 
    look 
    up 
    to 

    When 
    the times 
    are 
    hard 

    and 
    the chips 
    are 
    down 

    He 
    knows 
    just 
    what 
    to 
    do 

    Now 
    a cowboy's 
    got 
    a set 
    of 

    rules 
    that 
    he 
    lives 
    by 
    day 
    to 
    day 

    If 
    you 
    ask 
    for 
    his 
    advice, 

    he'll 
    more 
    than 
    likely 
    say 

    Verse 2

    If 
    it's 
    a fence, 

    mend 
    it, if 
    it's 
    dollar 
    bill, 
    spend 
    it 

    Be
    fore 
    if 
    burns 
    hole 
    down 
    in 
    them 
    jeans 

    It 
    it's 
    load, 
    truck 
    it, if 
    it's 
    punch, 

    duck 
    it 

    If she's 
    lady, 
    treat 
    her 
    like 
    queen 

    Verse 3

    That's 
    cowboy 
    logic, 

    every 
    cowboy's 
    got 
    it 

    It's 
    in 
    the 
    way 
    he 
    lives 
    his 
    life 

    and 
    the songs 
    he 
    sings 

    That's 
    cowboy 
    lo
    gic, 

    every 
    cowboy's 
    got 
    it 

    He's 
    got 
    a sim
    ple 
    solution 

    to 
    just 
    about 
    anything 

    Verse 4
    If 
    it's 
    a job, 
    do 
    it, 

    put 
    your 
    back 
    in 
    to 
    it 

    'Cause 
    a little 
    bit 
    of dirt's 
    gonna 

    wash 
    off 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    If it's 
    horse, 
    ride 
    it, if 
    it 
    hurts, 
    hide 
    it 

    Dust 
    yourself 
    off 
    and 
    get 

    back 
    on 
    again 

    Verse 5

    That's 
    cowboy 
    logic, 

    every 
    cowboy's 
    got 
    it 

    It's 
    in 
    the 
    way 
    he 
    lives 
    his 
    life 

    and 
    the songs 
    he 
    sings 

    That's 
    cowboy 
    logic, 

    every 
    cowboy's 
    got 
    it 

    He's 
    got 
    sim
    ple 
    solution 
    to 

    just 
    about 
    any
    thing 

    Verse 6

    An old 
    cowboy 
    and a 
    young 
    buckaroo 
    were 
    workin', 

    ridin' 
    fence 

    The 
    old 
    hand 
    was 
    testin' 
    the 
    kid 
    on 

    his 
    skills 
    and 
    common 
    sense 

    He 
    said, 
    "Son, 

    if you 
    seen 
    three 
    men 
    in 
    pick-up" 

    "Dressed 
    "Dressed 
    alike 
    from 
    boot 
    to 
    hat? 

    "Could 
    you 
    tell 
    which 
    one 
    was 
    the 
    real 

    cowboy 
    just 
    from 
    where 
    he sat?" 

    Verse 7
    The 
    kid 
    scratched 
    his head 
    awhile 

    and then 
    he said 

    "Well, 
    there just 
    ain't 
    no 
    way 
    to know" 

    The 
    old 
    hand 
    grinned 
    and 
    then 
    he said 

    "Kid, 
    you've 
    still 
    got 
    a ways 
    to 
    go": 

    Verse 8
    "The 
    real 
    cowboy's 

    the one 
    in 
    the 
    middle" 

    "He 
    ain't 
    there 
    just 
    by 
    fate" 

    "'Cause 
    first 
    he don't 

    have 
    to drive" 

    "And 
    then 
    he don't 
    have 
    to 

    mess 
    with 
    the gate" 

    Verse 9
    That's 
    cowboy 
    logic, 

    every 
    cowboy's 
    got 
    it 

    It's 
    in 
    the 
    way 
    he 
    lives 
    his 
    life 

    and 
    the songs 
    he 
    sings 

    That's 
    cowboy 
    logic,

    cowboy's 
    got 
    it 

    He's

      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.

      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.
