    In 
    the 

    southern 
    part of 

    Texas, 
    near the 
    town 
    of 

    San 

    Antonio, 

    Stands a 
    fortress 
    all 
    in 
    ruins 
    that the 

    weeds 
    have overgrown. 

    You 
    may 
    look 
    in vain for 
    crosses, 

    and you'll 
    never 
    see a 
    one, 

    But sometimes 
    between the 
    setting 

    and 
    the 
    rising 
    of the 
    sun, 

    You 
    can 
    hear 
    a 
    ghostly 
    bugle 

    as the 
    men go 
    marching by 

    You 
    can 
    hear 
    them as they 
    answer 

    to the 
    roll call 
    in the 
    sky 

    Colon
    el 

    Trav
    is, 

    Davy 

    Crockett,

    Dickinson, 

    Jim 

    Bowie, 
    present 
    and 
    accoun
    ted 
    for 

    Back 
    in 
    1836, 

    Houston 
    said to 

    Travis 

    Get 
    some 
    volunteer
    s and 

    go 
    for
    tify 
    the 

    Alamo 

    Well 
    the 
    men 
    came from 

    Texas 
    and 
    from 
    old 

    Tennessee 

    And 
    with 
    them 
    came young 

    Smitty 
    just 
    to 
    fight for 
    the 
    right to 
    be 
    free 

    En
    gine 
    scouts with 
    squirrel guns, 

    men with 
    muzzle 
    loaders 

    Stood 
    together 
    heel and 

    toe 
    to defend 
    the 

    Alamo 

    You 
    may 
    never 
    see your 
    loved ones, 

    Travis 
    told 
    them that 
    day 

    Those 
    who 
    want 
    to can 
    leave now 

    Those 
    who'll 
    fight to 
    the 
    death, 

    let him 
    stay 

    One 
    hundred 
    eighty 
    -five brave 
    men 

    Holding 
    back five 
    thousand 

    Five 
    days, 
    six days, 
    eight days, 
    ten 

    Trav
    is 
    held and 
    held again 

    Then 
    he 
    sent for 
    replace
    ments 

    For 
    his 
    wounded 
    and his 
    lame 

    But 
    the troops 
    that were 
    coming 

    Never 
    came, 
    never 
    came, 
    never 
    came 

    Twice 
    he 
    charred and 
    blew recall 

    on 
    the 
    fatal 
    third 
    time 

    Santana 
    break
    s the 
    wall 
    and 

    he killed them 
    one by 
    all 

    Now the 
    bugles 
    are 
    si
    lent 
    and 

    the 
    rust 
    on each 
    sword 

    And 
    the 
    small 
    band of 
    soldiers 

    lie 
    asleep 
    in 
    the arms 
    of 
    the 

    Lord

      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 🙂

      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.
