    Verse 1
    D

    Black diamond was a race horse,
    G

    he held a high head
    A

    And the mane on his fore top
    D

    is as fine as silk thread
    G

    I rode him in Texas, I rode him in Maine,
    A

    And I never did lose boys,
    D

    I always did gain.
    Verse 2
    D


    Come all of you good gamblers
    G
    A
    D

    from far and near

    She's likely to stumble,
    G

    she's likely to fall,
    A

    And you"ll find old Black
    D

    Diamond ahead of them all.
    Verse 3
    D

    Come all of you gamblers
    G

    from far and wide
    A

    And lay down your money
    D

    when the Black Diamond rides,

    Sit tight in your saddle,
    G

    let slack on your rein,
    A

    You never will lose boys,
    D

    you always will gain.
    Verse 4
    D


    When the horses went racing,
    G

    about half way 'round
    A

    The gray mare she stumbled,
    D

    and fell to the ground.

    And away out yonder ahead of the rest
    G
    A

    Was my noble Black Diamond,
    D

    the finest and best.
    Verse 5
    G

    California's races has good ponies, too,
    A

    But I rode my Black Diamond and
    D

    around them we flew.

    Kentucky breeds horses that
    G

    hold a good pace
    A

    But I rode my Black Diamond
    D

    and won every race.
    Verse 6
    D

    Florida's green pastures has
    G

    champions to boast
    A

    But they follow behind when

    we come to the post

    I stroked his black mane and I chuckled

    and laughed

    The others were trailing by a neck and a half.

    I win my good money and fill up my sack
    D

    'Cause it's always Black Diamond that's
    Verse 7


    first down the track,
    G

    So bet him to win Boys,

    you never will fail,
    A

    'Cause it's always Black Diamond
    D

    comes first down the rail.
    Verse 8
    D

    This life is a gamble,
    G

    it's a win, lose or draw
    A

    So I make love and gamble wherever I go
    D

    I'm friendly to strangers, and

    I love a good girl,
    G
    A

    And I love my Black Diamond,
    Outro 1

    the best in the world.
    D

    • 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.”
