  • Verse 1
    Walkin' 
    cross 
    the desert, 

    it ain't 
    no 
    fun 

    Too 
    hot 
    in the day
    time, 

    too much 
    sun 

    Lefty 
    says 
    we'll 
    cross 
    at 
    night
    time 

    Like 
    my 
    people 
    always 
    have 
    done 

    Keep 
    moving, 
    quit nagging 

    Walk, 
    don't 
    run 

    Verse 2
    ask 
    Lefty, 

    Why'd 
    we bring 
    so 
    much cheese? 

    Coyotes, Buddy, 

    just 
    you 
    wait 
    and 
    see 

    Coyotes 
    eat 
    anything, 
    Buddy, 

    long 
    as it's 
    free 

    Suppose 
    they 
    want 
    a little 
    something 
    extra, 

    Lefty? 

    Might 
    be 
    you 
    and might 
    be 
    me 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Well 
    the 
    desert's 
    dark 
    and 
    the desert's 
    deep, 

    stars 
    everywhere 

    Something 
    like 
    you 
    never 
    see 
    sit

    tin' 
    in 
    your 
    easy 
    chair 

    Watch 
    out
    Lefty, 

    something 
    strange 
    is 
    comin' 
    down 

    Look out! 
    It's a 
    bird, 
    it's a plane, 

    it's 
    a flyin' 
    tin 
    can 

    Got 
    those 
    coyotes 
    on 
    the 
    run 

    Verse 4
    Out 
    steps 
    a green 
    dog, 

    as 
    green 
    as 
    he 
    can 
    be 

    Or 
    maybe 
    she, 

    'cause 
    when 
    they're 
    wearin' 
    space 
    suits 

    You 
    can't 
    tell, 

    'cause 
    you 
    can't 
    see 

    Verse 5

    "In 
    my 
    world, 
    toads 
    are 
    purple, 

    mice 
    are 
    blue, 
    and 
    declare 

    A red 
    cat 
    is 
    really 
    something 
    new 

    I'm 
    so 
    far 
    from home, 

    can 
    you 
    tell 
    me 
    what 
    should 
    do?" 

    Verse 6

    "Do 
    you 
    think 
    there 
    is 
    room 
    for 

    me 
    in 
    this strange 
    land? 

    I'm sorry 
    I scared 
    your 
    friends 

    write 
    poetry, 
    teach 
    as
    tronomy, 

    how 
    about 
    me?" 

    Verse 7

    "In my 
    world 
    everyone 
    is a 
    friend 

    Shaking 
    hands, 

    saying 
    how 
    do 
    you 
    do 

    Guess 
    you'll 
    notice 
    we 
    all 
    look 
    the same, 

    it's 
    so tame 

    I'd 
    rather 
    take 
    chance 
    here 
    with you" 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 8
    Let's 
    ride, 
    says 
    Lefty, 

    let's 
    see how 
    fast 
    this 
    crate 
    can fly 

    Va 
    Va- 
    va- 
    voom, says 
    Lefty, 
    watch 
    the 
    coyotes 
    scatter

    and watch 
    the town
    go streaking 
    by 

    Kingman, 
    Barstow, 

    San 
    Bernardino 
    just 
    won't 
    do 

    Go west, 
    you 
    green 
    dog, 

    Hollywood's the place 
    for 
    you 

    Green 
    dog, 
    green 
    dog, 
    green 
    dog, 
    you're 
    so 
    rare, 

    so 
    rare

    • 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.
