Wesley

Hardin lost his role shooting dice
G

in the gym saloon in

El
C

Paso one night back in 1895.

For a while he just sat there,

watched the game, brooding, mad.

Then he drew a pistol and said, give me my

money back.

And the timid soul handling the cash

of the house said, take it all

Mr.

Hardin, it belongs to you.
G

Hardin got arrested for it the next day,
C

but nobody thought to ask him to return the money.

He did get told not to play
G

that way anymore.
C
G
C




I know a man whose plow handle

hand is quicker than a light.


Hardin is his name they say

and he travels in the night for he might
G
C

have to kill or walk around the fight

and if you ever saw his heart and draw

you know he can skin his gun

won't say how many tried and died up against the

top hand up against the wrong man cause
G
C

Harden

Well, he rode in like a

Texas wind

And he took the eastbound train

Goin', goin' with

Jane

Bowen

Till the lawman called up

So long,
G
C

Janie, chin up I'll be back again

Well, off he went to

Huntsville

Prison

So long,

Janie, cryin'

Fifteen years she waited till her

heart broke and she died then
G

She left that mad land to wait
C

G

up in the sky

I'll free at last the paying pass
G
C

for all the wrong he did

First, yeah,

they let him breathe since he was a kid

So let him come and let him go,
G
C

let him deal the bid

I'll near the border in

El

Paso while all your reeds are signed

You won't find him there for

business every day at 9

For business has been real bad,
G
C

one client's always had
G
C

And it ain't quite a long, long time

Then

Sheriff

Selman's boy broke into

Wes' woman's place

After she jumped and pistol whipped

and kicked him in the face

John
G

Selman demands revenge for this disgrace
C

You can see every night by candlelight

In

Hardin's favorite bar

She'd be hangin' on his arm
G
C

And very late they'd leave there

Headed for the goose hair
G
C

And glad it wasn't far

Right through the swingin' doors

John
G
C

Selwyn came with a blazin' gun

Wes

Hardin chugga -luggin' red

I got him in the back of the head

John

West the

Hardin fell dead

Cause
G
C

Hardin wouldn't run

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm going to tell you about the train song now, called the

Little

Hippo

Drive, right?

  • 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.
