    • Verse 1
    Jerry Jeff 
    Walker 

    Texas 
    in October, 

    is 
    about as 
    pretty 
    as it 
    get
    s 

    But Texas 
    in the 
    springtime, 

    is even 
    prettier 
    yet 

    You 
    miss 
    it so 
    much 
    when you're 
    gone 

    It's 
    hard 
    for 
    you to 
    say 

    Texas 
    gets more 
    beautiful, 

    with every 
    passing 
    day 

    Verse 2

    Got 
    a 
    letter 
    from 
    my family, 

    said they'd 
    had 
    a 
    lot 
    of 
    rain 

    It 
    washed 
    away 
    the cotton 
    crops, 

    but all 
    and all 
    they can't 
    complain 

    'Cause the 
    bluebonnets are 

    about 
    to 
    bloom 
    again, 

    And 
    Ginger 
    finally 
    had 
    her 
    colt 

    In 
    Texas 
    they don't 
    worry 
    much, 

    about 
    things 
    they can't 
    control 

    Verse 3

    Chorus: 

    Keep 
    Texas 
    beau
    tiful, 

    keep 
    Texas 
    free 

    Keep 
    her wild 
    and 
    natur
    al, 

    just 
    the way 
    she 
    ought to 
    be 

    This 
    world 
    is 
    full of 
    man- 
    made 
    wonder
    s, 

    Texas 
    didn't 
    come 
    that 
    way 

    No, 
    Texas 
    came out 
    beautiful, 

    why not 
    keep 
    her that 
    way? 

    Verse 4

    I've been 
    out 
    here 
    working 
    hard, 

    trying 
    to 
    make 
    ends 
    meet 

    But a 
    float 
    trip 
    down 
    the Rio 
    Grande 

    would sure 
    do 
    a lot 
    for me 

    A 
    good 
    night's 
    sleep 

    under 
    a lot 
    of 
    stars 

    With 
    a 
    sunrise 
    crisp 
    and 
    clean 

    And the 
    smell 
    of 
    coffee 
    boiling, 

    by 
    a big old 
    pot 
    of beans 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    Chor
    us 

    Verse 6

    So 
    in my 
    dreams 
    I'm 
    driving 
    home, 

    I 
    can see 
    my 
    daddy's 
    face 

    He's 
    standing 
    by the 
    live 
    oak tree, 

    in our 
    yard 
    on 
    Canyon 
    Lake 

    And I'm 
    driving 
    under 
    miles 
    and 
    miles 

    of 
    clear 
    blue 
    Texas 
    skies 

    Some 
    strangers 
    in a 
    pick- up 
    truck, 

    turn 
    and wave 
    as 
    I drive 
    by 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 7
    Chorus 

    Yeah, 
    Texas 
    came 
    out beautiful, 

    why not 
    keep 
    her that 
    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.
