    • Verse 1
    Now 


    there's 
    a man you'll 
    hear 
    about 

    Most 
    anywhere 
    you 
    go, 

    And his 
    holdings 
    are 
    in Texas 

    And his name 
    is 
    Diamond 
    Joe. 

    Verse 2
    And 
    he 
    carries 
    all 
    his money 

    In a 
    dia
    mond- 
    studded 
    jar. 

    He 
    never 
    took much 
    trouble 

    With 
    the 
    process 
    of the 
    law. 

    I hired 
    out to 
    Dia
    mond 
    Verse 3
    Joe, boys, 

    Did 
    offer 
    him my 
    hand, 

    He 
    gave a 
    string of 
    horses 

    So 
    old 
    they 
    could not 
    stand. 

    Verse 4
    And I nearly 
    starved 
    to death, 
    boys, 

    He 
    did mis
    treat me 
    so, 

    And I never saved 
    a 
    dollar 

    In 
    the 
    pay 
    of 
    Dia
    mond 
    Joe. 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    Now 
    his bread it 
    was corn 
    dodger 

    And his 
    meat you 
    couldn't 
    chaw, 

    Nearly 
    drove me 
    crazy 

    With 
    the waggin' 
    of his 
    jaw. 

    Verse 6
    And 
    the 
    tellin' 
    of 
    his story, 

    Mean to 
    let you 
    know 

    That 
    there never 
    was 
    a 
    rounder 

    That 
    could 
    lie 
    like Dia
    mond Joe. 

    Now, 
    I tried three 
    times 
    to quit him, 
    Verse 7

    But 
    he did 
    ar
    gue 
    so 

    I'm still 
    punchin' 
    cattle 

    In 
    the 
    pay 
    of 
    Dia
    mond 
    Joe. 

    Verse 8
    And 
    when I'm 
    called 
    up yonder 

    And 
    it's 
    my time 
    to go, 

    Give my 
    blankets 
    to my 
    buddies 

    Give 
    the 
    fleas 
    to 
    Dia
    mond 
    Joe.

      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 🙂

      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.
