Intro 1

Verse 1
G

Well, I was sittin' in this beer joint

down in Houston, Texas
C

Was drinkin' Colorado Cool-Aid

and talkin' to some Mexicans
D

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

What's Colorado Cool-Aid?
G

Well, it's a can of Coors

brewed from a mountain stream
C

It'll set you head on fire

an' make your kidneys scream
D

Oh, it sure is fine

Yeah, we was havin' ourselves
G

one of them real good times
Verse 2
G

But you know every beer joint

that you've ever been in
C

Some big, mean drunk

who just ain't got no friend
D

Sure enough, he wants to fight
G

Yeah, he's gonna whip everything in sight
G

Well, he took him a big cold swallow of beer

And he walked over
C

and spit in my Mexican friend's ear

And sure enough that made

my buddy real mad
D

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

Well, Sir
Verse 3
G

He pulled out a big, long switch blade knife

Quick as a whistle he began to slice
C

That big mean drunk stood back,

his face full of tears
D

Lookin' down at the floor,

an' one of his ears
G

Ha, he cut that thing off

even with the sideburns
G

You might say the little Mexican fella,
C

he just didn't give a darn

But he was a gentleman about it
D

An' bent over and with a half way grin
G

Picked it up and handed it back to him
Verse 4

He said, "Now big man,"
G

"You get the urge to spit a little beer

Just open up your hand there
C

and spit it in your own ear

Won't be no trouble that way"
D

That's what I heard him say
G

And I said, "Barmaid, set us up a round

of that Colorado Cool-Aid
G

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

a box of Bandaids"
C

Now let me tell you,

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

And decide to stop
D

an' drink some Colorado Cool-Aid

An' maybe talk to some Mexicans
G

An' you get the urge to get a little tough

Better make damn sure
Verse 5

you got your knife proof ear-
G

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

I said ain't that right big man?
D

Ah, hell he can't hear,

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

Hey barmaid,

bring us all a big, tall glass
G

of that Colorado Cool-Aid

How about it?
C

How you doin', big man?
D

Still got your ear there in your hand
G

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.
