    Verse 1
    We can share the 
    women, 

    we 
    can 
    share 
    the 
    wine 

    We 
    can 
    share 
    what 
    we 
    got 
    of 
    yours 

    'Cause 
    we 
    done 
    shared 
    all 
    of 
    mine 


    Verse 2
    Keep 
    on 
    rollin', 
    just 
    mile 
    to 
    go 

    Keep 
    on 
    rollin', 
    my 
    old 
    buddy 

    You're 
    moving 
    much 
    too 
    slow 


    Chorus 1
    just 
    jumped 
    the 
    watchman 

    Right 
    outside 
    the 
    fence 

    Took 
    his 
    rings, 
    four 
    bucks 
    in 
    change 

    Ain't 
    that 
    Heaven 
    sent? 

    Hurts 
    my 
    ears 
    to 
    listen, 
    Shannon 

    Burns 
    my 
    eyes 
    to 
    see 

    Cut 
    down 
    man 
    in 
    cold 
    blood, 
    Shannon 

    Interlude 1
    Might 
    as 
    well 
    be 
    me 





    Bridge 1
    We 
    used 
    to 
    play 
    for 
    silver, 

    now 
    we 
    play 
    for 
    life 

    And 
    one's 
    for 
    sport 
    and 
    one's 
    for 
    blood 

    at 
    the 
    point 
    of 
    knife 

    And 
    now 
    the 
    die 
    is 
    shaken, 

    now 
    the 
    die 
    must 
    fall 

    There 
    ain't 
    winner 
    in 
    the 
    game 

    He 
    don't 
    go 
    home 
    with 
    all 

    Not 
    with 
    all 


    Interlude 2

    Verse 3
    Leaving 
    Texas, 
    fourth 
    day 
    of 
    Ju
    ly 

    Sun 
    so 
    hot, 
    the 
    clouds 
    so 
    low 

    The 
    eagles 
    filled 
    the 
    sky 


    Verse 4
    Catch 
    the 
    Detroit

    Chey
    enne 

    from 
    sea 
    to 
    shining 
    sea 


    Chorus 2
    Gotta go to 
    Tulsa 

    First 
    train 
    we 
    can 
    ride 

    Gotta 
    settle 
    one 
    old 
    score 

    One 
    small 
    point 
    of 
    pride 

    There ain't a 
    place 
    man 
    can hide, 
    Shannon 

    We'll 
    keep 
    him 
    from 
    the 
    sun 

    Ain't 
    bed 
    can 
    give 
    us 
    rest, 
    now 

    Interlude 3
    You 
    keep 
    us 
    on 
    the 
    run 





    Bridge 2
    Jack 
    Straw 
    from 
    Wich
    ita 

    cut his buddy 
    down 

    He

    for 
    him 
    shal
    low 
    grave 

    and 
    laid 
    his 
    bo

    • 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.
