    Verse 1
    Em

    In the southern part of Texas,
    D

    east and west of El Paso
    Bm

    Where the mighty Franklin Mountains
    Em

    guard the trail to Mexico

    There's a new made widow crying
    D

    and a hearse a-rolling slow

    slow
    Bm

    And I guess that Devil's passed
    Em

    this way again
    Verse 2
    Em

    There's a lathered Sorrel Stallion
    D

    running through the Joshua Trees
    Bm

    A young man in the saddle with
    Em

    his coat tails in the breeze

    Got a six gun on his right hip and
    D

    a rifle at his knee
    Bm

    And he's dealing in a game
    Em

    that he can't win
    Verse 3
    Em
    D

    Poor Billy Bonney, you're only twenty one
    C

    Pat Garrett's got your name
    G

    on every bullet in his gun
    Em

    Each notch you carved on your six guns,
    D

    got a bloody tale to tell
    Bm

    You're a mile ahead of Garrett and a step
    Em

    outside of Hell

    Them fancy clothes you're wearing
    D

    and the women in your bed
    Bm

    Can't take away the faces of
    Em

    the men that you left dead

    As you ride across the badlands
    D

    with a price upon your head
    Bm
    Em

    Now that wheel or fortune starts to turn
    Verse 5
    Em

    Your reputation's grown 'til it's
    D

    the biggest in the land
    Bm

    And there ain't a lot of people left
    Em

    who wanna call your hand

    And I guess you go down shooting,
    D

    just like all branded men
    Bm

    When you shake hands with the Devil,
    Em

    you get burned
    Verse 6

    • 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.
