    E

    Verse 1
    E
    D

    He rode into town one dust storm
    A
    E

    Sheepskin cloak across his back
    D

    A preacher man with kind old eyes
    A
    E

    And a mystery for a past
    D

    He said he'd come to teach about
    E

    The love of God
    G

    But he soon learned

    what they were missing there
    B

    Was justice and the law
    Verse 2
    E
    D

    There was a cattleman who claimed his clan
    A
    G
    E

    Owned all the land around
    D

    And any brave fool that might dispute
    A
    G
    E

    He was quick to snuff 'em out
    D

    He'd say, "Take my heed
    E

    And you won't pay the price
    G

    'Cause honor and a name ain't worth a damn
    B

    If you don't have your life"
    Chorus 1
    E

    'Cause "Ain't nobody faster
    Bm

    than this cattleman's gun
    A
    E

    I'm a rattlesnake on the trigger
    Bm

    Your last stand'll be lyin' in the sand
    A
    G
    E

    Fallin' to the slam of my hammer"
    E

    Verse 3
    E
    D

    So one man taught forgiveness
    A
    G
    E

    While the other taught suffering
    D

    The preacher said deliverance
    A
    G
    E

    Could be found out on their knees
    D

    He'd say, "I know you want justice
    E

    And you want blood
    G

    But believe me when I say to you
    B

    Don't try be that man's judge
    Chorus 2
    E

    'Cause "Ain't nobody faster
    Bm

    than that cattleman's gun
    A
    E

    He's a rattlesnake on the trigger
    Bm

    Your last stand'll be lyin' in the sand
    A
    E

    Fallin' to the slam of his hammer"
    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    E
    D

    One day a young farmer
    A
    G
    E

    brought his sons to town for feed
    D

    And he noticed that the streets were quiet,
    A
    G
    E

    and he knew what that might mean
    D

    The smoke rose in the distance
    E

    His farm burned to the ground
    G

    He let the fury overtake him
    B

    When cattleman came back to town
    Bridge 1
    E
    Bm

    Those boys ran out from behind the crowd
    A
    E

    And watched their daddy die

    The big man laughed and said,
    Bm

    "Now look at that
    A
    E

    Anybody else wanna give it a try?"

    Well, the church doors opened
    Bm

    With that black cloak flowin'
    A
    E

    behind the preacher's fiery eyes

    He said, "Your ticket to Hell is a comin' to you
    B

    And I got a hollow-point to give you the ride"
    Chorus 3
    E

    And the only thing faster
    Bm

    than the cattleman's gun
    A
    E

    Was the preacher man's handy finger

    He pulled iron from his side
    Bm

    and let that bullet fly
    A
    E

    Beat the rattlesnake to the hammer
    Outro 1
    E
    Bm

    Why the preacher embraced forgiveness
    A
    G
    E

    Oh, they finally un derstood
    Bm

    Under that sheepskin cloak of his
    A
    G
    E

    Was a history of blood

    • 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.
