    Verse 1
    He 
    rode 
    into 
    town 
    one 
    dust 
    storm 

    Sheepskin 
    cloak 
    across 
    his 
    back 

    preacher 
    man 
    with 
    kind 
    old 
    eyes 

    And 
    mystery 
    for 
    past 

    He 
    said 
    he'd 
    come 
    to 
    teach 
    about 

    The 
    love 
    of 
    God 

    But 
    he 
    soon 
    learned 

    what 
    they 
    were 
    missing 
    there 

    Was 
    justice 
    and 
    the 
    law 

    Verse 2
    There 
    was 
    cattleman 
    who 
    claimed 
    his 
    clan 

    Owned 
    all 
    the 
    land 
    a
    round 

    And 
    any 
    brave 
    fool 
    that 
    might 
    dispute 

    He 
    was 
    quick 
    to 
    snuff 
    'em 
    out 

    He'd 
    say, 
    "Take 
    my 
    heed 

    And 
    you 
    won't 
    pay 
    the 
    price 

    'Cause 
    honor 
    and 
    name 
    ain't 
    worth 
    damn 

    If 
    you 
    don't 
    have 
    your 
    life" 

    Chorus 1
    'Cause 
    "Ain't 
    nobody 
    faster 

    than 
    this 
    cattleman's 
    gun 

    I'm 
    rattlesnake 
    on 
    the 
    trig
    ger 

    Your 
    last 
    stand'll 
    be 
    lyin' 
    in 
    the 
    sand 

    Fallin' 
    to 
    the 
    slam 
    of 
    my 
    ham
    mer" 


    Verse 3
    So 
    one 
    man 
    taught 
    for
    give
    ness 

    While 
    the 
    other 
    taught 
    suf
    fer
    ing 

    The 
    preacher 
    said 
    deliv
    erance 

    Could 
    be 
    found 
    out 
    on 
    their 
    knees 

    He'd 
    say, 
    "I 
    know 
    you 
    want 
    justice 

    And 
    you 
    want 
    blood 

    But 
    be
    lieve 
    me 
    when 
    say 
    to 
    you 

    Don't 
    try 
    be 
    that 
    man's 
    judge 

    Chorus 2
    'Cause 
    "Ain't 
    nobody 
    faster 

    than 
    that 
    cattleman's 
    gun 

    He's 
    rattlesnake 
    on 
    the 
    trig
    ger 

    Your 
    last 
    stand'll

    sand 

    Fallin' 
    to 
    the 
    slam 
    of 
    his 
    ham
    mer" 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    One 
    day 
    young 
    far
    mer 

    brought 
    his 
    sons 
    to 
    town 
    for 
    feed 

    And 
    he 
    noticed 
    that 
    the 
    streets 
    were 
    quiet, 

    and 
    he 
    knew 
    what 
    that 
    might 
    mean 

    The 
    smoke 
    rose 
    in 
    the 
    distance 

    His 
    farm 
    burned 
    to 
    the 
    ground 

    He 
    let 
    the 
    fury 
    overtake 
    him 

    When 
    cattleman 
    came 
    back 
    to 
    town 

    Bridge 1
    Those 
    boys 
    ran 
    out 
    from 
    behind 
    the 
    crowd 

    And 
    watched 
    their 
    daddy 
    die 

    The 
    big 
    man 
    laughed 
    and 
    said, 

    "Now 
    look 
    at 
    that 

    Anybody 
    else 
    wanna 
    give 
    it 
    try?" 

    Well, 
    the 
    church 
    doors 
    opened 

    With 
    that 
    black 
    cloak 
    flowin' 

    behind 
    the 
    preacher's 
    fiery 
    eyes 

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

    And 
    got 
    hollow-point 
    to 
    give 
    you 
    the 
    ride" 

    Chorus 3
    And 
    the 
    only 
    thing 
    faster 

    than 
    the 
    cattleman's 
    gun 

    Was 
    the 
    preacher 
    man's 
    handy 
    fin
    ger 

    He 
    pulled 
    iron 
    from 
    his 
    side 

    and 
    let 
    that 
    bullet 
    fly 

    Beat 
    the 
    rattlesnake 
    to 
    the 
    ham
    mer 

    Outro 1
    Why 
    the 
    preacher 
    embraced 
    for
    give
    ness 

    Oh, 
    they 
    finally 
    un
    der
    stood 

    Under 
    that 
    sheepskin 
    cloak 
    of 
    his 

    Was 
    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.
