    Verse 1
    Jackie 
    went 
    to 
    high 
    school 

    In 
    little 
    Texas 
    town 

    He 
    finished 
    up 
    and 
    spent 
    the most 
    of 

    next 
    year 
    bummin' 
    around 

    He 
    couldn't 
    find 
    a job 
    to 
    hold 

    So 
    on 
    a Friday 
    night 

    He 
    figured 
    he 
    could 
    see 
    the 
    world 

    and 
    buy 
    4- wheel 
    drive 

    If 
    he'd 
    join 
    the 
    army 

    Cause 
    these 
    are 
    desperate 
    times 

    Verse 2

    Well 
    he 
    came 
    back 
    four 
    years 
    later 

    A little 
    higher 
    off 
    the ground 

    Things 
    there hadn't 
    changed 

    And 
    that 
    just 
    really 
    got 
    him 
    down 

    So 
    he 
    went off 
    to San 
    Antone 

    An 
    hour 
    to 
    the east 

    And 
    got 
    a job 
    workin' 
    for 

    the San 
    Antone 
    police 

    Well 
    he 
    had 
    a pis
    tol 
    now 

    Cause 
    these 
    are 
    desperate 
    times 

    Verse 3
    Well 
    ol 
    Jackie 
    he 
    got 
    married 

    But 
    his ends 
    they 
    wouldn't 
    meet 

    His 
    wife 
    worked 
    at 
    the Texas 

    Commerce 
    Bank 
    just 
    up 
    the 
    street 

    Jackie 
    got 
    an 
    idea 

    To 
    get 
    him 
    outta 
    debt 

    And 
    they 
    could 
    live 
    the good 
    life 

    And drive 
    new 
    Corvette 

    If 
    he'd 
    rob 
    the 
    bank 
    he said 

    Cause 
    these 
    are 
    desperate 
    times 

    Verse 4

    Well 
    he 
    had 
    planned 
    the 
    whole 
    thing 

    And 
    while 
    his 
    baby 
    worked 

    He came 
    in 
    after 
    hours 

    In a 
    black 
    ski 
    mask 
    and shirt 

    She 
    told 
    him 
    where 
    the money 
    was 

    And 
    thats 
    just 
    where 
    he 
    went 

    The 
    minute 
    that 
    he 
    saw 
    it 
    he 

    already 
    had 
    it spent 

    Well 
    it 
    wasn't 
    easy 

    But 
    these 
    are 
    desperate 
    times 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 5
    Well 
    he drove 
    off 
    to 
    Bandera 

    Cause that 
    was 
    his 
    hometown 

    He 
    had 
    it 
    in his 
    mind 
    just 
    where 

    he'd 
    lay 
    that 
    money 
    down 

    He 
    went 
    out 
    to 
    his 
    mom's 
    house 

    And 
    Jack 
    went 
    up 
    the 
    hill 

    To bury 
    that 
    old 
    suitcase 
    full 

    of 
    hundred 
    dollar 
    bills 

    Well 
    he'd 
    let 
    it 
    sit 
    a while 

    Cause 
    these 
    are 
    desperate 
    times 

    Verse 6

    Well 
    the 
    bank 
    they 
    called 
    the g- 
    men 

    Cause 
    they 
    were insured 
    by 
    the 
    Fed 

    And Jill 
    she 
    rolled 
    on 
    Jack 

    Cause 
    she 
    was 
    in 
    above 
    her 
    head 

    The g- 
    men 
    gave 
    Jack 
    wind 
    of 
    this 

    When 
    they 
    made 
    his 
    arrest 

    And 
    he 
    asked 
    her 
    why 
    she 
    turned 

    on 
    the 
    one 
    that she 
    loved 
    best 

    Well 
    it 
    wasn't 
    easy 
    Jack 

    But 
    these 
    are 
    desperate 
    times 

    Verse 7

    Yeah 
    ain't 
    that 
    what 
    you 

    al
    ways 
    said

    • 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.
