    Belle 
    Starr, 
    Belle 
    Starr, 

    tell me 
    where you have 
    gone 

    Since 
    old 
    Oklahoma's sand 

    hills 
    you did 
    roam? 

    Is it 
    heaven's 
    wide 
    streets 

    that you're 
    ty
    ing 
    your 
    reins 

    Or 
    single 
    footing 
    somewhere 
    be
    low? 

    Verse 2
    Eight 
    lovers 
    they 
    say 
    combed 

    your 
    waving 
    black 
    hair 

    Eight 
    men 
    knew the 
    feel 

    of your 
    dark velvet 
    waist 

    Eight 
    men 
    heard the 
    sounds 

    of your 
    tan leather 
    skirt 

    Eight 
    men heard 
    the 
    bark 
    of the 

    guns 
    that you 
    wore 

    Verse 3
    Cole 
    Younger 
    was your 
    first 
    and 
    the 

    father 
    of your 
    girl 

    And 
    the name 
    that you 
    picked 

    for your 
    daughter 
    was 
    Pearl 

    Cole 
    robbed 
    a bank 
    and he 

    drawed 
    the life 
    line 

    But I 
    heard 
    he was 
    pardoned 

    after 
    twenty 
    years 
    time 

    Verse 4
    Your 
    Cherokee 
    lover, 

    Blue 
    Duck 
    was his 
    name 

    He 
    loved 
    you in the sand 
    hills 

    before 
    your 
    great 
    fame 

    I 
    heard he 
    stopped 
    a 
    bullet 
    in 
    1885 

    And your 
    Blue Duck's 
    no 
    longer 
    alive 

    Verse 5
    You 
    took Jim 
    Reed 
    to your 

    warm 
    wedding 
    bed 

    And from 
    out 
    of your 
    love 

    was 
    born 
    the boy, 
    Ed 

    A 
    pal killed 
    Jim 
    Reed 
    by the 

    dark 
    of the 
    moon 

    And your 
    son 
    Ed was 
    blowed down 

    in 
    a drunken 
    saloon 

    Verse 6
    Then there 
    was Bob 
    Younger, 

    you 
    loved 
    him so 
    well 

    He 
    rode 
    with the James 
    Boys 

    out 
    on the 
    long trail 

    Well, they 
    caught him 
    in Minnesota 

    along 
    with the gang 

    And he died 
    down 
    in 
    jail 

    in the 
    cell 
    or the 
    chain

    Missouri 
    hill

    hit Lawrence, 

    Kansas 
    and 
    fought 
    them 
    still 

    And 
    when he 
    rode 
    out, 

    two 
    hundred 
    lay 
    killed 

    Verse 8
    They say 
    you 
    could have, 
    they 

    whispered 
    you 
    might 

    Have 
    loved 
    Frank James 
    on 

    a couple 
    of 
    nights

    Railroad 

    almost 
    to death 

    Then 
    in 
    1915 Frank 
    drawed 

    his last 
    breath 

    Verse 9
    They 
    say it 
    could 
    be, 
    they 

    say 
    maybe 
    so 

    That you 
    loved 
    Jesse 
    James, 

    that

    and a 
    son 

    Was

    is Jim 
    Younger, 

    did 
    you hear 
    his 
    fate? 

    He was 
    jailed 
    and then 
    pardoned 

    for 
    all 
    he had 
    done 

    And he 
    blowed 
    out his 
    own brains 

    in 
    nineteen 
    and 
    one 

    Verse 11
    Eight

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
