    In the

    Texas, near the town of

    San

    Antonio,
    Am
    C

    Stands a fortress all in ruins that the

    weeds have overgrown.

    You may look in vain for crosses,
    G

    and you'll never see a one,
    Am

    But sometimes between the setting
    E
    G
    C

    and the rising of the sun,
    G
    C

    You can hear a ghostly bugle
    Em

    as the men go marching by

    You can hear them as they answer

    to the roll call in the sky

    Smitty just to fight for the right to be free
    Am

    Engine scouts with squirrel guns,

    C

    Stood together heel and

    Five days, six days, eight days, ten

    Travis held and held again

    Then he sent for replacements

    For his wounded and his lame

    he killed them one by all
    C
    Am

    Now the bugles are silent and
    C

    the rust on each sword
    Am
    G

    And the small band of soldiers
    Am

    lie asleep in the arms of the

    • 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.
