    Verse 1
    Well, 
    was 
    sittin' 
    in 
    this 
    beer 
    joint 

    down 
    in 
    Houston, 
    Texas 

    Was 
    drinkin' 
    Colorado 
    Cool-Aid 

    and 
    talkin' 
    to 
    some 
    Mexicans 

    An' 
    we 
    was, 
    what's 
    that 
    you 
    say? 

    What's 
    Colorado 
    Cool-Aid? 

    Well, 
    it's 
    can 
    of 
    Coors 

    brewed 
    from 
    mountain 
    stream 

    It'll 
    set 
    you 
    head 
    on 
    fire 

    an' 
    make 
    your 
    kidneys 
    scream 

    Oh, 
    it 
    sure 
    is 
    fine 

    Yeah, 
    we 
    was 
    havin' 
    ourselves 

    one 
    of 
    them 
    real 
    good times 

    Verse 2
    But 
    you 
    know 
    every 
    beer 
    joint 

    that 
    you've 
    ever 
    been 
    in 

    Some 
    big, 
    mean 
    drunk 

    who 
    just 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    friend 

    Sure 
    enough, 
    he 
    wants 
    to 
    fight 

    Yeah, 
    he's 
    gonna 
    whip 
    everything 
    in 
    sight 

    Well, 
    he 
    took 
    him 
    big 
    cold 
    swallow 
    of 
    beer 

    And 
    he 
    walked 
    over 

    and 
    spit 
    in 
    my 
    Mexican 
    friend's 
    ear 

    And 
    sure 
    enough 
    that 
    made 

    my 
    buddy 
    real 
    mad 

    That's 
    somethin' 
    like 
    he 
    ain't 
    never 
    had 

    Well, 
    Sir 

    Verse 3
    He 
    pulled 
    out 
    big, 
    long 
    switch 
    blade 
    knife 

    Quick 
    as 
    whistle 
    he 
    began 
    to 
    slice 

    That 
    big 
    mean 
    drunk 
    stood 
    back, 

    his 
    face 
    full 
    of 
    tears 

    Lookin' 
    down 
    at 
    the 
    floor, 

    an' 
    one 
    of 
    his 
    ears 

    Ha, 
    he 
    cut 
    that 
    thing 
    off 

    even 
    with 
    the 
    sideburns 

    You 
    might 
    say 
    the 
    little 
    Mexican 
    fella, 

    he 
    just 
    didn't 
    give 
    darn 

    But 
    he 
    was 
    gentleman 
    about 
    it 

    An' 
    bent 
    over 
    and 
    with 
    half 
    way 
    grin 

    Picked 
    it 
    up 
    and 
    handed 
    it 
    back 
    to 
    him 

    Verse 4
    He 
    said, 
    "Now 
    big 
    man," 

    "You 
    get 
    the 
    urge 
    to 
    spit 
    little 
    beer 

    Just 
    open 
    up 
    your 
    hand 
    there 

    and 
    spit 
    it 
    in 
    your 
    own 
    ear 

    Won't 
    be 
    no 
    trouble 
    that 
    way" 

    That's 
    what 
    heard 
    him 
    say 

    And 
    said, 
    "Barmaid, 
    set 
    us 
    up 
    round 

    of 
    that 
    Colorado 
    Cool-Aid 

    While 
    you're 
    up 
    there, 
    bring 
    this 
    big 
    fella 
    here, 

    box 
    of 
    Bandaids" 

    Now 
    let 
    me 
    tell 
    you, 

    if 
    you're 
    ever 
    ridin' 
    down 
    in 
    south 
    of 
    Texas 

    And 
    decide 
    to 
    stop 

    an' 
    drink 
    some 
    Colorado 
    Cool-Aid 

    An' 
    maybe 
    talk 
    to 
    some 
    Mexicans 

    An' 
    you 
    get 
    the 
    urge 
    to 
    get 
    little 
    tough 

    Better 
    make 
    damn 
    sure 

    Verse 5
    you 
    got 
    your 
    knife 
    proof 
    ear- 

    (muff) 
    Hey, 
    ain't 
    that 
    right, 
    big 
    man? 

    said 
    ain't 
    that 
    right 
    big 
    man? 

    Ah, 
    hell 
    he 
    can't 
    hear, 

    not 
    on 
    this 
    side 
    anyway, 
    he 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    ear 

    Hey 
    barmaid, 

    bring 
    us 
    all 
    big, 
    tall 
    glass 

    of 
    that 
    Colorado 
    Cool-Aid 

    How 
    about 
    it? 

    How 
    you 
    doin', 
    big 
    man? 

    Still 
    got 
    your 
    ear 
    there 
    in 
    your 
    hand 

    Oh, 
    yeah

    • 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.
