    Verse 3


    And 
    the Navajo

    the

    And 
    very 
    rarely 
    did 
    they ever 
    rest 
    their 
    eyes 

    On 
    the people 
    passin' 
    by

    went 
    a walkin' 
    along 

    the 
    rail
    road 
    track 

    They were 
    swish
    in'

    back 

    Verse 5
    Oh, 
    across 
    the alley 
    from 
    the Alam
    o 

    When 
    the summer 
    sun 
    decides 
    to 
    settle 
    low 

    A 
    fly 
    sings 
    an Indian 
    "Hi- 
    de- 
    ho" 

    To 
    the 
    people 
    passing 
    by

    pony 
    and 
    a Navajo 

    Who 
    used 
    to bake frijoles 

    in cornmeal 
    dough 

    For 
    the 
    people 
    passing 
    by 

    They thought 
    that 
    they would 
    make 
    Verse 7

    some easy 
    bucks 

    By 
    washin' 
    their frijoles 
    in Duz 
    and 
    Lux, 

    A 
    pair 
    of very 
    conscientious 
    clucks 

    To 
    the people 
    passin' 
    by 

    Verse 8
    Then 
    they took 
    this 
    cheap 
    va
    cation, 

    their 
    shoes 
    were 
    pol
    ished 
    bright 

    No, they 
    never 
    heard 
    the 
    whistle, 

    Toot! Toot! 
    they're 
    clear 
    out of sight 

    Oh, 
    across 
    the alley 
    Verse 9
    from 

    the Alamo 

    When the starlight 
    beams 
    its 
    tender 
    glow 

    The 
    beams 
    go to 
    sleep 
    and then 

    there ain't 
    no dough 

    For 
    the 
    people 
    passin' 
    by 

    Verse 10
    One 
    day, 
    they 
    went 
    a walkin' 

    along 
    the 
    railroad 
    track 

    They were 
    swish
    in' 
    not 
    a- look
    in' 
    Toot! 
    Toot!, 

    they never 
    came 
    back 

    Oh, 
    across 
    Verse 11
    the alley 
    from 
    the Alamo 

    When 
    the summer 
    sun

      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

      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.
