    • Verse 1
    Well Jesse 

    was 
    a rovin' 
    gambler 

    Nine 
    ball 
    was 
    his game 

    He 
    kept 
    one 
    step 
    out 
    ahead 
    of his Rep 

    One 
    town 
    out 
    ahead 
    of his fame 

    Verse 2
    I 
    think 
    I mighta seen 
    him 
    in Clovis 

    But 
    the place 
    was 
    kinda 
    loud 

    Even 
    so, 
    it was a 
    long 
    time 
    ago 

    When my 
    head 
    sorta 

    stayed 
    in a cloud 

    Verse 3
    There's 
    a 
    lotta 
    green 
    in the city 

    That 
    you 
    can't 
    cut 
    thick 
    or thin 

    There's 
    a 
    lot 
    of green 

    between 
    fat 
    and lean 

    That 
    you might 
    never 
    see 
    again, 

    oh, 
    Jesse 

    You 
    might 
    never 
    see 
    again 

    Verse 4
    Well I 
    know 
    I saw 
    him in Shreveport 

    The time 
    this 
    song's 
    about 

    I was 
    hangin' 
    in town 
    'cause 

    the river 
    was down 

    Like my 
    sister 
    I 
    was sweatin' 

    the drought 

    Verse 5
    He was 
    playin' 
    some 
    kid 

    from Dallas 

    Who could 
    out 
    talk 
    a freeway 
    cop 

    A 
    day 
    and 
    a half 
    they'd been 
    on 
    a raft 

    Tryin' 
    to 
    play 
    till 
    the other 

    would drop 

    Verse 6
    There's 
    a 
    lotta 
    green 
    in the city 

    That 
    you 
    can't 
    cut 
    thick 
    or thin 

    There's 
    a 
    lot 
    of green 

    between 
    fat 
    and lean 

    That 
    you 
    might 
    never 
    see 
    again, 
    oh, 
    Jesse 

    You 
    might 
    never 
    see 
    again 

    Verse 7
    Carmen 
    wore 
    a 
    red 
    silk 
    dress 

    She lean'd 
    beside 
    the coke 
    machine 

    She 
    must 
    have been the 
    prize 

    that was 
    in his 
    eyes 

    It was 
    as 
    clear 
    as 
    gasoline 

    Verse 8
    Twenty 
    seven 
    hundred 
    on the 
    table 

    Another 
    twenty 
    five 
    in the dark 

    Dallas 
    was 
    talkin' 
    up 
    a blue 
    streak 

    As 
    Jesse 
    reached 
    for 
    the chalk 

    Verse 9
    The 
    room 
    got 
    deathly 
    quiet 

    The newsboy 
    shut 
    his mouth 

    The 
    cold 
    north 
    wind 
    changed 

    it's mind 
    again 

    And 
    blew 
    lazy 
    from 
    the south 

    Verse 10
    The 
    whippoorwills 
    quit 
    singin' 

    Not 
    even 
    the judge 
    did 
    laugh 

    When 
    Jesse 
    Justice 
    chalked 
    his saber 

    And 
    sliced 
    the 
    9 in half 

    Verse 11
    There's 
    a 
    lotta 
    green 
    in the city 

    That 
    you 
    can't 
    cut 
    thick 
    or thin 

    There's 
    a 
    lot 
    of green 

    between 
    fat 
    and lean 

    That you 
    might 
    never 
    see 
    again, 

    oh, 
    Jesse 

    You 
    might 
    never 
    see 
    again

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
