    Verse 1
    Shane 
    and 
    Dixie 
    they 

    were 
    two-bit 
    crooks 

    crooks 

    They 
    wanted 
    to 
    be famous 

    like 
    you 
    read 
    in 
    books 

    Shane 
    had 
    the 
    brain 
    and 

    Dxie had 
    the 
    looks 
    for 
    glory 

    As 
    a bank 
    robber 
    Shane 
    really 

    hadn't 
    got 
    clue 

    He'd 
    end 
    up 
    likely 
    at 
    the 

    end 
    of 
    a noose 

    Which 
    was 
    fine 
    by 
    Shane 
    if 
    the 
    papers 

    could 
    use 
    the story 


    Verse 2
    [CHORUS] 

    Fame 
    and 
    love, 
    fame 
    and 
    love 

    Fame 
    and 
    love 
    will 
    never 
    die 

    Shane 
    said 
    to 
    Dixie, 

    we're 
    getting 
    nowhere 

    But I've 
    a fine 
    idea 
    if 
    you 
    love 
    me, 

    swear 

    We'll 
    be 
    household 
    names 
    if 
    we 
    only 
    dare, 

    forever

    Here's 
    two 
    bullets 
    in 
    my 
    old 
    carbine 

    One 
    is 
    yours 
    and 
    the 
    other 
    is 
    mine 

    Then 
    we'll 
    be 
    happy 
    till 
    the 

    end 
    of 
    time 
    together

    CHORUS 

    She screams, 
    she 
    swears 

    She 
    tears 
    her 
    hair 

    Saying, 
    Shane 
    this 
    time 

    You've 
    lost 
    your 
    mind 

    Shane 
    took 
    aim 
    with 
    the 
    16-bore 

    And 
    Dixie 
    lay 
    dying 
    down 

    there 
    on 
    the 
    floor 

    Shane 
    was 
    shaken 
    but 
    his 
    purpose 

    was 
    more 
    in
    spired 

    Shane 
    said, 
    Lord 
    what 
    have 
    done 

    But 
    this 
    victory 
    is 
    only 
    halfway 
    won 

    Then 
    he put 
    the barrel 
    underneath 
    his 
    tongue 
    and 
    fired 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    [CHORUS] 
    They 

    found 
    the 
    bodies 
    when 
    the 

    neighbours 
    complained 

    Shane 
    was 
    all 
    over 
    the 
    walls 
    like 
    paint 

    Dixie 
    looked 
    bad 
    but 
    her 
    heart 

    beat 
    faint 
    but 
    surely 

    Well 
    they saved 
    her 
    life, 

    they 
    were 
    just 
    in 
    time 

    And 
    she 
    turned 
    her 
    back 
    on 
    life 
    of 
    crime 

    And 
    she 
    married 
    the 
    man 
    who 

    came 
    to 
    type 
    out 
    her story 

    the 
    news 
    of 
    the screws 

    most 
    generously 
    gave 

    The 
    money 
    helped 
    to pay 

    for Shane's 
    new 
    grave 

    And 
    it looked 
    so 
    fine 
    till 

    the vandals 
    sprayed 
    it 
    over 

    Time 
    went 
    by 
    and 
    the 
    weeds 
    grew 
    high 

    And 
    hid 
    Shane's 
    grave 

    from 
    the curious 
    eye 

    And 
    maybe 
    that's 
    why 
    we 
    forget 
    those 
    lines 
    he told 



    her

      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 🙂

      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.

      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.
