    I've 
    got a 
    pistol 
    that's 

    eager 
    to shoot. 

    I'm 
    just an 
    ornery 
    sort 
    of 
    a brute. 

    I've got 
    20 
    carels 
    just 

    to 
    hold all 
    my 
    gals. 

    They 
    say I'm 
    wicked, 

    but 
    think that 
    I'm cute. 

    I'm 
    a bad 
    man, 
    I'm 
    a bad 
    man, 

    so you 
    better 
    stay out 
    of my 
    way 

    Well 
    now, 
    I 
    got a 
    pistol, 
    but I 
    never 
    draw 

    I 
    get my 
    results 
    keeping 

    inside 
    the 
    law 

    When 
    I sing 
    and I 
    play, 

    women give 
    me my 
    way 

    I'm 
    just the 
    slickest 
    thing 

    that they 
    ever 
    saw 

    I'm 
    a 
    bad 
    man, 
    I'm 
    a 
    bad 
    man 

    So 
    you better 
    stay 
    out 
    of my 
    way 

    I 
    like 
    a gal, 
    and I 
    just grab 
    her hand 

    Soon 
    after 
    that 
    she'll 

    be wearing 
    my 
    brand 

    When 
    I twirl 
    my lasso, 
    then 
    she's 
    ready 
    to go 

    I 
    make 
    them cry, 

    but they think 
    that I'm 
    grand 

    I'm 
    a 
    bad 
    man, 
    I'm 
    a bad 
    man 

    So 
    you better 
    stay 
    out 
    of my 
    way 

    I 
    don't 
    believe 
    in all 

    that honoree 
    stuff. 

    I get my 
    gals, 
    but 
    chucks, 

    I never play 
    rough. 

    I just walk 
    and 
    she purrs 

    when 
    I jingle 
    my 
    spurs. 

    I get 
    what you 
    get 
    without 
    getting 
    tough. 

    I'm 
    a 
    bad 
    man, 
    I'm 
    a bad 
    man, 

    so 
    you better 
    stay 
    out 
    of my 
    way. 

    I 
    treat 
    my women 
    like 
    I 
    treat 

    my mules. 

    They don't 
    get stub
    born 

    when 
    I 
    make 
    the ruse. 

    When 
    I'm crack
    in' my 
    whip, 

    then 
    they don't 
    give me no 
    lip. 

    I've got 
    them buffalo, 

    the sweet 
    little 
    foos. 

    I'm 
    a 
    bad 
    man, 
    I'm 
    a 
    bad 
    man, 

    so 
    you better 
    stay 
    out 
    of my 
    way. 

    Now 
    I 
    treat 
    a gal 
    like a 
    gal, 
    not 
    a mule. 

    I 
    get 
    a flame 
    burnin', 
    just 
    keepin' 
    cool 

    With 
    a wink 
    of the eye 
    and, 

    well, a sort 
    of a 
    sigh 

    They 
    think 
    that I'm 
    precious 

    and just 
    as rare 
    as 
    a jewel 

    I'm 
    a 
    bad 
    man, 
    I'm 
    a bad 
    man 

    So 
    you better 
    stay 
    out 
    of my 
    way 

    I 
    use 
    my muscles 
    to 
    make 
    a gal 
    fall 

    Me, 
    I do 
    it smoother
    , 

    avoidin' 
    the 
    brawl 

    We're 
    a couple 
    of 
    cards 

    Say, 
    we oughta 
    be pars 

    Let's 
    get 
    together 
    and 
    we'll 
    get 
    them all 

    Oh, 
    we're bad 
    men, 
    yes, 
    we're bad 
    men 

    So 
    you'd better 
    stay 
    out 
    of 
    our 
    way

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
