    Verse 1
    Me 
    and 
    my 
    uncle 
    went 
    ridin' 
    down 

    To 
    South 
    Colo
    rado, 
    West 
    Texas 
    bound 

    We 
    stopped 
    over 
    in 
    Santa 
    Fe 

    That 
    day 
    on 
    the 
    pony, 
    just 
    about 
    half
    way 

    And 
    you 
    know 

    it 
    was 
    the 
    hottest 
    part 
    of 
    the 
    day 

    Verse 2
    And 
    I 
    took 
    the 
    horses 
    up 
    to 
    the 
    stall 

    Went 
    to 
    the 
    barroom, 

    ordered 
    drinks 
    for 
    all 

    Three 
    days 
    in 
    the 
    saddle, 

    you 
    know 
    my 
    body 
    hurt 

    It 
    being 
    summer, 
    I 
    took 
    off 
    my 
    shirt 

    And 
    I 
    tried 
    to 
    wash 

    off 
    some 
    of 
    that 
    dusty 
    dirt 

    Verse 3
    West 
    Texas 
    cowboys, 
    they 
    was 
    all 
    a
    round 

    Wheat, 
    liquor 
    and 
    money, 
    they 
    loaded 
    down 

    So 
    soon 
    after 
    payday, 
    no, 
    it 
    seemed 
    a 
    shame 

    You 
    know 
    my 
    uncle, 

    he 
    starts 
    playin' 
    the 
    game 

    Hey 
    now, 
    high-low 
    jack 

    and 
    the 
    winner 
    take 
    the 
    hand 

    Solo 1

    him 
    of 
    cheatin', 

    oh 
    no,

    couldn't

    I 
    know 
    my 
    uncle, 
    he's 
    as 
    honest 
    as 
    me 

    Hey 
    now, 
    I'm 
    as 
    honest 

    as 
    a 
    Denver 
    man 
    can 
    be, 
    that's 
    right 

    Verse 5

    of 
    them 
    cowboys, 
    he 
    starts 
    to 
    draw 

    And

      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.
