    Verse 1
    Living 
    on 
    the 
    road 
    my 
    friend 

    Is 
    gonna 
    keep 
    you 
    free 
    and 
    clean 

    Now 
    you 
    wear 
    your 
    skin 
    like 
    iron 

    And 
    your 
    breath's 
    as 
    hard 
    as 
    ke
    rosene 

    You 
    weren't 
    your 
    mama's 
    only 
    boy 

    But 
    her 
    favorite 
    one 
    it 
    seems 

    She 
    be
    gan 
    to 
    cry 
    when 
    you 
    said 
    good
    bye 

    And 
    sank 
    into 
    your 
    dreams 

    Verse 2
    Pancho 
    was 
    a 
    bandit 
    boys 

    His 
    horse 
    was 
    fast 
    as 
    polished 
    steel 

    He 
    wore 
    his 
    gun 

    For 
    all 
    the 
    honest 
    world 
    to 
    feel 

    Pancho 
    met 
    his 
    match 
    you 
    know 

    On 
    the 
    deserts 
    down 
    in 
    Mexico 

    And 
    nobody 
    heard 
    his 
    dying 
    words 

    But 
    that's 
    the 
    way 
    it 
    goes 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    all 
    the 
    Federales 
    say 

    They 
    could 
    have 
    had 
    him 
    any 
    day 

    They 
    only 
    let 
    him 
    hang 
    a
    round 

    Out 
    of 
    kind
    ness 
    I 
    sup
    pose 

    Verse 3
    Lefty, 
    he 
    can't 
    sing 
    the 
    blues 

    All 
    night 
    long 
    like 
    he 
    used 
    to 

    The 
    dust 
    that 
    Pancho 
    bit 
    down 
    south 

    Ended 
    up 
    in 
    Lefty's 
    mouth 

    The 
    day 
    they 
    laid 
    poor 
    Pancho 
    low 

    Lefty 
    split 
    for 
    O
    hio 

    Where 
    he 
    got 
    the 
    bread 
    to 
    go 

    There 
    ain't 
    nobody 
    knows 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    all 
    the 
    Federales 
    say 

    They 
    could 
    have 
    had 
    him 
    any 
    day 

    They 
    only 
    let 
    him 
    slip 
    a
    way 

    Out 
    of 
    kind
    ness 
    I 
    sup
    pose

    Verse 4
    Well 
    the 
    poets 
    tell 
    how 
    Pancho 
    fell 

    And 
    Lefty's 
    living 
    in 
    a 
    cheap 
    hotel 

    The 
    desert's 
    quiet 
    and 
    Cleveland's 
    cold 

    And 
    so 
    the 
    story 
    ends 
    we're 
    told 

    Pancho 
    needs 
    your 
    prayers 
    it's 
    true 

    But 
    save 
    a 
    few 
    for 
    Lefty 
    too 

    He 
    just 
    did 
    what 
    he 
    had 
    to 
    do 

    Oh, 
    and 
    now 
    he's 
    growing 
    old 

    Chorus 3
    And 
    a 
    few 
    grey 
    Federales 
    say 

    They 
    could 
    have 
    had 
    him 
    any 
    day 

    They 
    only 
    let 
    him 
    go 
    so 
    wrong 

    Out 
    of 
    kind
    ness 
    I 
    sup
    pose 

    Chorus 4
    A 
    few 
    grey 
    Federales 
    say 

    They 
    could 
    have 
    had 
    him 
    any 
    day 

    They 
    only 
    let 
    him 
    go 
    so 
    wrong 

    Out 
    of 
    kind
    ness 
    I 
    sup
    pose

      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.
