    I'd 
    play 
    the Red 
    River 
    Vi
    olin 

    And 
    he'd 
    sit 
    in 
    the 
    kitchen 
    and 
    cry 

    Run 
    his fin
    gers 
    through 
    sev
    enty 
    years 

    of 
    living 
    and 
    won
    der 

    Lord, 
    as ever 
    well 
    I drove 
    gone 
    dry 

    We 
    was friends, 
    me 
    and 
    someone 

    Desperado's 
    waiting 
    for 
    a train 

    Desperado's 
    waiting 
    for 
    a train 

    He's 
    a 
    drifter 
    and 
    a 
    driller 
    of 
    all 
    wells 

    An 
    old 
    -school 
    man 
    of 
    the 
    world 

    Taught 
    me 
    how 
    to drive 
    his 
    car 

    when 
    he's 
    too drunk 
    to 

    An
    d 
    it 
    winked 
    and 
    gave 

    me 
    money 
    for 
    the girls 

    Our 
    lives 
    was 
    like 
    some 
    old 
    western 
    movie 

    Like 
    desperadoes 
    waiting 
    for 
    a train 

    Like 
    desperadoes 
    waiting 
    for 
    a train 

    From 
    the time 
    that 
    I 
    could walk, 

    he'd 
    take 
    me 
    with him 

    To 
    a 
    bar 
    called 
    the 
    Green 
    Frog 
    Cafe 

    I 
    was an 
    old 
    man 
    with beer 
    guts, 

    playin' 
    domin
    oes 

    Ly
    ing 
    about 
    their lives 
    while 
    they'd 
    play 

    I 
    was 
    just 
    a kid, 

    they all 
    called 
    me 
    a 
    sidekick 

    Like 
    desperadoes 
    waiting 
    for 
    a train 

    Like 
    desperadoes 
    waiting 
    for 
    a train 

    One 
    day 
    I 
    looked 
    up 
    and 

    he 
    was pushing 
    80 

    There 
    was brown 
    tobacco 
    stain
    s 

    all 
    down 
    his chin 

    To 
    me 
    he's 
    one 
    of the her

    oes 
    of 
    this 
    coun
    try 

    So 
    why's 
    he 
    all 
    dressed 
    up 

    like 
    them 
    old 
    men 

    Drankin' 
    beer 
    and 
    playin' 

    Moon 
    and Fortitude 

    Like 
    desperadoes 
    waitin' 
    for 
    a train 

    Like 
    desperadoes 
    waitin' 

    for 
    a train 

    Just 
    before 
    he 
    died, 
    I 
    went 
    to 
    see him 

    I 
    was grown, 
    he 
    was 
    almost 
    gone 

    So 
    we 
    closed 
    our 
    eyes 

    and 
    dreamed 
    us 
    up 
    a 
    kit
    chen 

    And 
    sang 
    another 
    verse 
    to 
    that old 
    song 

    I 
    said, 
    come on, 
    Jack, 

    I swear 
    this 
    time 
    it's com
    ing 

    We're 
    desperadoes 
    waiting 
    for 
    a 
    train 

    We're 
    desperadoes 

    waiting 
    for 
    a train 

    We're 
    desperadoes 
    waiting 
    for 
    a 

    train 

    Thank for watching!

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
