Verse 1
Am

An old cowboy went riding out
C

one dark and windy day
Am

Upon a ridge he rested

as he went along his way
Am

When all at once

a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
F

Plowing through the ragged sky
Dm
Am

and up the cloudy draw
Verse 2
Am

Their brands were still on fire
C

and their hooves were made of steel
Am

Their horns were black and shiny

and their hot breath he could feel
Am

A bolt of fear went through him

as they thundered through the sky
F

For he saw the riders coming hard
Dm
Am

and he heard their mournful cry

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
C

their shirts all soaked with sweat
Am

He's riding hard to catch that herd,

but he ain't caught 'em yet
Am

'Cause they've got to ride forever

on that range up in the sky
F

On horses snorting fire
Dm
Am

As they ride on hear their cry
Verse 4
Am

As the riders loped on by him
C

he heard one call his name
Am

If you want to save your soul from hell

a-riding on our range
Am

Then cowboy change your ways today

or with us you will ride

Trying to catch the devil's herd,
Dm

across these endless skies

  • 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.
