    Verse 2

    They 
    tell 
    me 
    down 
    in 
    town 
    I'm 

    gettin' 
    famous, 

    they're

    budge. 

    Important 
    folks 
    are 
    waitin' 

    there 
    to see 
    me 

    like

    the 
    jailer 
    and 
    the 
    judge. 

    Verse 3

    My 
    picture's 
    on 
    the 
    front 

    page 
    of

    I'm 
    the 
    local 
    boy 
    who 

    wandered 
    off 
    alone. 

    Now, 
    they 
    want 
    me 
    back 
    so 

    bad 
    they're 
    giving 
    money 

    to 
    the first 
    man 
    who'll 
    come 

    Verse 4
    out

    One 
    night 
    last 
    week 
    I 
    got 
    a little 
    reckless 

    and 
    I 
    couldn't 
    hold 
    my 

    trig
    gerfinger still. 

    The 
    barrel 
    pointed 
    at 
    the 
    county 
    Marshall 

    but 
    I 
    only 
    meant 
    to 
    scare 
    him, 
    not 
    to 
    kill. 

    Verse 6
    Now 
    the 
    foothills

    mountains 
    hold 
    my 
    secret, 

    only 
    they 
    know 
    of 
    this 
    old 
    deserted 
    shack. 

    But 
    the 
    chances 
    are 
    some 

    bloodhound's 
    gonna 
    find 
    me 

    and 
    some 
    other 
    dirty 
    dog 

    will 
    take 
    me 
    back. 

    Verse 7
    Dead 
    or 
    alive, 
    dead 
    or

    I 
    wonder 
    if 
    I'm 
    bet
    ter 

    Verse 8
    off 
    dead 
    or 
    alive. 


    People 
    always 
    said 
    that 
    I'd 

    amount 
    to 
    nothin', 

    that 
    to 
    bury 
    me 
    would 
    be 
    a 
    waste 
    of 
    earth. 

    But 
    if 
    they'll 
    just 
    put 
    my 
    price 

    upon 
    my 
    tombstone 

    then 
    the world 
    can 
    see 
    what 

    I 
    was 
    really 
    worth.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
