Verse 1
Am

It was out to california
Dm

young davey moore did go,
G

To meet with sugar ramos and
C
E

trade him blow for blow
Am

He left his home in springfield,
Dm

his wife and children five;
G

The spring was fast approaching,
C
E

it was good to be alive.
Am

His wife, she begged and pleaded,
Dm

"you have to leave this game.
G

Is it worth the bloodshed and
C
E

is it worth the pain? "
Am

But davey could not hear above
Dm
G

the cheering crowd

He was a champion,
C
E

and champions are proud.
Am

Hang his gloves upon the wall,
G

shine his trophies bright clear,
F
E

Another man will fall before

we dry our tears
Am

For the fighters must destroy
G

as the poets must sing,
F

As the hungry crowd must gather
E

for the blood upon the ring.
Verse 2
Am

And thousands gave a roar when
Dm

davey moore walked in,
G

Another man to beat,
C
E

another purse to win
Am

And all along the ringside,
Dm

a sight beyond compare
G

The money-chasing vultures vultures
C
E

were waiting for their share,
Am

He stood there in his corner and
Dm

he waited for the bell;
G

The signal of the struggle of
C
E

two men fa cin' hell;
Am

And when the bell was sounded,
Dm

the blows began to rain,
G
C
E

And blows will lead to hate -- hate drives men

F

insane.

Verse 3
Am

The fists were flying fast and hard,
Dm

the sweat was pouring down,
G

And davey moore grew weaker
C
E

with ev'ry passin' round.
Am

His legs began to wobble and his
Dm

arms began to strain,
G

He fell upon the canvas floor,
C
E

a fog around his brain.
Am

At last the fight was over,
Dm

young davey fought no more,
G

He lost the final battle be
C
E

hind a doctor's door.
Am

And back at the arena,
Dm

the screaming crowd is gone,
G

And death is waiting ringside,
C

for the next fight to come on.
E

  • 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.
