  • Intro 1

    She was 
    Verse 1
    holding 
    her breath 

    and he at
    tempted 
    a prayer 

    And he was 
    cussing 
    the dust 

    rising 
    up 
    in 
    the air 

    'cause the 
    old 
    cattle 
    trail, 
    well, 

    it wer
    en't 
    anywhere 

    For 
    baby 
    to draw 
    its first 
    breath 

    And the 
    unbroken 
    West, 
    Verse 2

    well, it was 
    no place 
    to 
    live 

    'cause it was 
    hard 
    to 
    survive 

    and it was 
    Hell 
    if 
    you did 

    So he 
    entered 
    this 
    world 
    with 

    a pair 
    of clenched 
    fists 

    And 
    the 
    first 
    and last 
    tears 
    he'd shed 

    Verse 3
    And the 
    longhorns 
    lowed 
    him 
    a wel
    come 

    As 
    new 
    voice 
    cried 
    from 
    the buckboard 

    And the 
    Irish, 

    they sang 
    sad 
    and 
    lonely 

    'cause 
    they 
    knew 
    a cow

    boy 
    was 
    born 

    Verse 4
    Well, the 
    Berry 
    closed 
    in 
    and 

    cen
    tury 
    passed 

    The set
    tlers 
    plowed 
    under 

    the 
    tall 
    prairie 
    grass 

    And the 
    cow 
    town's 
    died 
    off 
    in 

    a world 
    changing 
    fast 

    But the 
    wind 
    kept 
    the spirit 
    alive 

    'cause a 
    young 
    boy 
    in Kansas, 
    Verse 5

    he 
    caught a 
    breeze 
    one day 

    And 
    in a five-second 
    rush, 
    rush, 

    he was 
    fighting 
    for eight 

    He 
    saw 
    it 
    all 
    so 
    clear 
    through 

    the dirt 
    on 
    his face 

    He 
    knew 
    he 
    was born 
    to 
    ride 

    Verse 6
    And the 
    long 
    lost 
    heir 
    to 
    the saddle 

    finally 
    found 
    his 
    way 
    back 
    home 

    As he 
    picked 
    up 
    his hat, 
    well, 

    the crowd 
    cheered 

    'cause 
    they 
    knew 
    a cow
    boy 
    was 
    born 

    Yeah, 
    that 
    day 
    a cow
    boy 

    Interlude 1
    was born 



    Verse 7
    From 
    the 
    heroes 
    in 
    the bright 
    lights 
    of Vegas 

    Through the 
    poets 
    of 
    the sage 
    and thorn 

    proud 
    legacy 
    of 
    a na
    tion, 
    thank 
    God, 

    the cow
    boy 
    was 
    born 

    Yeah, 
    thank 
    God, 

    the cow
    boy 
    was born

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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

      Tuliketsune

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
