Verse 1
G

He was an old-time cowboy,

don't you understand

His eyes were sharp as razor blades,

his face was leather tan
C

His toes were pointed inward from
G

a-hangin' on a horse
D
G

He was an old philosopher of course
G

He was so thin

I swear you could have used him for a whip

He had to drink a beer

to keep his britches on his hips
C

I knew I had to ask him
G

about the mysteries of life
D
G

He spit between his boots and he replied
Chorus 1

"It's faster horses, younger women,

older whiskey and more money"

G

He smiled and all his teeth were covered

with tobacco stains

He said "It don't do men no good

to pray for peace and rain
C
G

Peace and rain is just a way to say prosperity
D
G

And buffalo chips is all it means to me"

I told him I was a poet,

I was lookin' for the truth

I do not care for horses, whiskey, women

or the loot

I said I was a writer
G

My soul was all on fire

He looked at me an' he said
G

"You are a liar."

Well, I was disillusioned, if I say the least

I grabbed him by the collar

and I jerked him to his feet

There was something cold and shiny
G

layin' by my head
D
G

So I started to believe the things he said
G

Well, my poet days are over

and I'm back to being me

As I enjoy the peace and comfort of reality
C

If my boy ever asks me
G

what it is that I have learned
D

I think that I will readily affirm

  • 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.
