    Verse 1
    Black 
    diamond 
    was a 
    race 
    horse, 

    he 
    held 
    a high 
    head 

    And the 
    mane 
    on 
    his 
    fore top 

    is as 
    fine 
    as 
    silk 
    thread 

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

    And 
    I 
    never 
    did 
    lose 
    boys, 

    I 
    always 
    did 
    gain. 

    Verse 2

    Come 
    all 
    of 
    you 
    good gamblers 

    from 
    far 
    and 
    near 

    She's 
    likely 
    to stumble, 

    she's 
    likely 
    to 
    fall, 

    And you"ll 
    find 
    old Black 

    Diamond 
    ahead 
    of 
    them 
    all. 

    Verse 3
    Come 
    all 
    of 
    you 
    gamblers 

    from 
    far 
    and 
    wide 

    And 
    lay 
    down 
    your 
    money 

    when the Black 
    Diamond 
    rides, 

    Sit 
    tight 
    in your 
    saddle, 

    let 
    slack 
    on 
    your 
    rein, 

    You 
    never 
    will lose 
    boys, 

    you 
    always 
    will 
    gain. 

    Verse 4

    When the 
    horses 
    went 
    racing, 

    about 
    half 
    way 
    'round 

    The 
    gray 
    mare 
    she stumbled, 

    and fell 
    to 
    the ground. 

    And away 
    out 
    yonder 
    ahead 
    of 
    the rest 

    Was 
    my 
    noble 
    Black 
    Diamond, 

    the finest 
    and 
    best. 

    Verse 5
    California's 
    races 
    has 
    good ponies, 
    too, 

    But 
    I rode 
    my Black 
    Diamond and 

    around 
    them we 
    flew. 

    Kentucky 
    breeds 
    horses 
    that 

    hold 
    a good 
    pace 

    But I rode 
    my 
    Black 
    Diamond 

    and 
    won every 
    race. 

    Verse 6
    Florida's 
    green pastures 
    has 

    champions 
    to boast 

    But they 
    fol
    low 
    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 

    'Cause 
    it's always 
    Black 
    Diamond that's 

    Verse 7

    first down the track, 

    So bet 
    him to 
    win 
    Boys, 

    you 
    never 
    will 
    fail, 

    'Cause it's 
    always 
    Black Diamond 

    comes 
    first 
    down 
    the 
    rail. 

    Verse 8
    This life 
    is 
    a 
    gamble, 

    it's a win, 
    lose 
    or 
    draw 

    So 
    I make 
    love 
    and 
    gamble 
    wherever 
    I go 

    I'm 
    friendly 
    to strangers, and 

    I 
    love a good 
    girl, 

    And I 
    love my Black 
    Diamond, 

    Outro 1
    the best 
    in 
    the world.

    • 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.”
