    Verse 1
    If 
    I 
    may 
    trust 
    your 
    love,

    me 
    for 
    a 
    bride 

    Ride 
    the 
    wild 
    plain 
    and

    A flask 
    of 
    water 
    from

    the 
    night 
    he 

    gallops 
    on 

    Daylight 
    broke, 
    he 
    rode 
    alone 

    Spurred 
    his 
    horse 
    and 
    drew 
    no 
    rein 

    Across 
    that 
    dry, 
    for
    saken 
    plain 

    Un

    A 
    bitter 
    rest, 
    a few 
    short 
    drink
    s 

    Across 
    the 
    spring 
    a 
    buzzard 
    waits 

    His 
    flask 
    was 
    full 
    and 
    so 
    he 
    turned 

    To 
    gain 
    the bride 
    he 
    soon 
    would 
    earn 

    But 
    the 
    sky 
    bright 
    red 
    it 
    burned 

    On 
    the 
    Llano 
    Estacado 

    Verse 6
    Oh 
    how 
    this 
    shining 
    desert 
    glow 

    His 
    eyes 
    were 
    burning 
    as 
    he 
    rode 

    Was 
    this 
    the 
    dream 
    or 
    drunken 
    one 

    Or 
    was 
    he 
    really 
    riding 
    on 

    Was 
    that 
    a 
    skull 
    that gleamed 
    and 
    shone 

    On 
    the 
    Llano 
    Estacado 

    Verse 7
    Oh 
    hold 
    onto 
    his 
    horse 
    he 
    cried 

    Ig
    nore 
    the 
    devils 
    in 
    the 
    sky 

    Bear 
    up 
    a little 
    longer 
    yet 

    His 
    cracked 
    lips 
    he 
    longed 
    to 
    wet 

    His 
    mouth 
    was 
    black 
    with 
    blood 
    and 
    sweat 

    On 
    the 
    Llano 
    Estacado 

    Verse 8
    Crazy 
    with 
    love, 

    in 
    Enamorado!

    Interlude 1


    Verse 9
    Still 
    against 
    his 
    chest 
    he 
    held 

    The wa
    ter 
    flask 
    for 
    her 
    he 
    filled 

    He 
    longed 
    to drink 
    but 
    well 
    he 
    knew 

    If 
    empty 
    her 
    love 
    he'd 
    lose 

    But 
    his 
    raging

    grew 

    On 
    the 
    Llano 
    Estacado 

    Verse 10
    His 
    horse 
    went 
    down 
    he 
    wandered 
    on 

    Dizzy, 
    blinded 
    and 
    alone 

    And 
    you 
    out 
    there 
    with 
    watery 
    eyes 

    Think 
    of 
    how 
    it 
    is 
    to 
    die 

    Be
    neath 
    the cruel, 
    un
    cloudy sky 

    Of 
    the 
    Llano 
    Estacado 

    Verse 11
    At 
    last 
    he 
    stumbled, 
    then 
    he 
    fell 

    His 
    race 
    was 
    run 
    he 
    knew 
    full 
    well 

    Raising 
    to 
    his 
    lips 
    the 
    flask 

    His 
    face 
    a 
    blistered, 
    painful 
    mask 

    Drank 
    too, 
    no 
    more 
    could 
    she 
    ask 

    Of 
    the 
    Llano 
    Estacado 

    Verse 12
    Crazy 
    with 
    love, 

    in

    He died 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    Llano 
    Estacado. 

    Verse 13
    That 
    night 
    at 
    the 
    Presido 

    Beneath 
    the torchlights 
    way 
    below 

    She 
    danced 
    and 
    never 
    thought 
    of 
    him 

    A victim 
    of 
    a 
    woman's 
    whim 

    Ly
    ing 
    with 
    that 
    death 
    like 
    grin

      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.
