    John 

    Wesley 

    Hardin 
    lost 
    his role 
    shooting dice 

    in 
    the 
    gym saloon 
    in 

    El 

    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. 

    Hardin 
    got arrested 
    for 
    it 
    the nex
    t day, 

    but nobody 
    thought 
    to 
    ask 
    him to 
    return 
    the money. 

    He 
    did 
    get 
    told 
    not 
    to play 

    that 
    way 
    anymore. 




    know 
    man 
    whose 
    plow 
    handle 

    hand 
    is 
    quicker 
    than 
    light. 


    Hardin 
    is 
    his 
    name 
    they 
    say 

    and 
    he 
    travels 
    in 
    the 
    night 
    for 
    he 
    might 

    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 

    Harden 

    Well, 
    he 
    rode 
    in 
    like 

    Texas 
    wind 

    And 
    he 
    took 
    the 
    eastbound 
    train 

    Goin', 
    goin' 
    with 

    Jane 

    Bowen 

    Till 
    the 
    lawman

    up 
    I'll

    back 
    again 

    Well,

    went 
    to

    heart 
    broke 
    and 
    she 
    died 
    then 

    She 
    left 
    that 
    mad 
    land 
    to 
    wait 

    up 
    in

    the 
    paying

    for 
    all 
    the 
    wrong 
    he 
    did 

    First, 
    yeah, 

    they 
    let 
    him 
    breathe 
    since 
    he 
    was 
    kid 

    So 
    let 
    him 
    come 
    and 
    let 
    him

    let 
    him

    in 

    El 

    Paso 
    while 
    all 
    your 
    reeds 
    are 
    signed 

    You 
    won't 
    find 
    him

    John

      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

      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.
