  • Verse 1
    He 
    was a 
    sim
    ple 

    man 
    only 
    to 
    a stranger. 

    And the 
    kindness 
    in 
    his 
    eyes 

    still 
    remem
    ber. 

    Now 
    that he 
    is 
    old, 

    They 
    say 
    he's 
    angry 
    and he's 
    cold, 

    That 
    his soul 
    is 
    dy
    ing. 


    Verse 2
    He's a 
    wealthy 
    man's 
    dream, 

    And he's 
    a working 

    man's 
    dime. 

    He 
    has 
    stood 
    in both 
    men's 
    shoes 

    In his 
    own 
    damn 
    time. 

    The 
    hard 
    times 
    of 
    the thirties 

    Still 
    linger 
    in his 
    mind 

    When 
    he is 
    lonely. 


    He's 
    out 
    there 
    in 
    the cold, 

    Twenty 
    years 
    away 
    from 
    home. 

    Does 
    he dream 
    about 
    his 
    old 
    home 

    In San 
    Antone? 

    He's 
    often 
    watched 
    the 
    highways, 

    But 
    he's 
    man 
    of sixty- 
    five. 

    Where 
    ain't 
    a soul 
    in El 
    Paso 

    Who 
    would 
    give 
    an old 
    drunk 
    a ride. 

    Verse 3

    Now, 
    he traded 
    in 
    his 

    draftsman's pen 

    For 
    a fishing 
    pole. 

    And his 
    mansion 
    on 
    the 
    hill 

    Is 
    an alley 
    in 
    El 
    Paso. 

    The anchors 
    of the 
    fifties 

    Still 
    hold 
    to 
    broken 
    dreams 

    When his 
    sor
    rows 
    grow. 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    He's 
    out 
    there 
    in 
    the 
    cold, 

    Twenty 
    years 
    away 
    from 
    home. 

    Does 
    he dream 
    about 
    his 
    old 
    home 

    In 
    San 
    Antone? 

    He's 
    often 
    watched 
    the 
    highways, 

    But 
    he's 
    man 
    of sixty- 
    five. 

    There 
    ain't 
    a soul 
    in El 
    Paso 

    Who 
    would 
    give 
    an old 
    drunk 
    ride. 

    Verse 5
    Now, 
    they tell 
    me that 
    John 
    Philip 

    Loved 
    to gamble 
    in his 
    day. 

    And he 
    burned 
    his 
    bridges 
    well 

    When he 
    walked 
    away. 

    He 
    closed 
    those 
    corporate 
    doors, 

    Left 
    his 
    children 
    and his 
    home 

    Now 
    no 
    one 
    own
    him.

    • 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.
