    G

    Did you ever hear the story
    D
    G

    of the famed Killers Three?

    They were just common people,
    A
    D

    folks like you and me
    G

    And they dreamed of California
    D

    and a brand new destiny
    G
    C
    G

    And their life became a legend,
    D
    G

    the Famed Killers Three.

    Johnny Water carried whiskey
    D
    G

    through the Carolina hills.

    Hey, Johnny was a runner
    A
    D

    and lived a life of many thrills
    G

    But the little bit they paid him
    D
    G

    wouldn't feed his family
    C
    G

    So he dreamed of California
    D
    G

    and the new life there would be
    C

    Roger Kirk came to town
    F
    C

    with no plan in mind

    He just came to visit
    D

    Johnny and his wife Caroline
    G

    And Ro ger met his buddy

    in the U .S. Infantry
    C
    G

    They dreamed of California
    D
    G

    when the Army set him free

    Roger drifted into town

    a very lonely man

    There were many things about him
    A
    D

    no one could understand
    G

    And little did he know
    D

    he would find his destiny
    G
    C
    G

    In the one remaining corner
    D
    G

    of the famed killer's tree
    C

    Hey Johnny promised Carol
    F
    C

    everything well to buy

    He said Roger had to help him
    D

    with a plan he had to try
    G

    Lester Meade had lots of money
    D
    G

    that he made illegally
    C
    G

    Johnny planned to take it
    D

    in a noonday robbery
    G

    The federal revenuers
    D
    G

    had a plan to bring him down

    So they set a trap to catch him
    A
    D

    just outside of town
    G
    D

    And Johnny drove hard and fast

    to make his getaway
    G
    C
    G

    And Johnny played it cool
    D
    G

    in the heat of the day
    C

    All the town folk thought of Johnny
    F
    C

    as the hero of the town

    He had nerve and he was faster
    D

    than anyone around
    G

    The lawmen tried to trap him
    D
    G

    and once again they failed
    C
    G

    Cause Johnny beat him driving
    D
    G

    and the lawmen lost his trail

    As they drove into Lunsville
    D
    G

    to return the bumper jack

    Johnny wanted Carol
    A
    D

    to take Tony and turn back
    G

    But Carol loved her Johnny
    D
    G

    though she knew that he was wrong
    C

    Only death could come
    G
    D
    G

    between a love that was so strong
    C

    Four more lay dead
    F
    C

    from the famed killer's three

    And the lawmen tried to stop them,

    D

    but they were running wild and free
    G

    They're gonna get to California,
    D
    G

    somehow they know they will
    C
    G

    But the lawmen waited for them
    D
    G

    just over the hill

    Roger Kirk met his death
    D
    G

    in a blazing rage of fire

    They say he died a victim
    A
    D

    of a haughty desire
    G

    He tried to prove he was a man
    D
    G

    both fearless and straight
    C
    G

    But he died and left behind him
    D
    G

    the legend of his fate
    C

    Let us say a prayer for Tony,
    F
    C

    maybe he won't realized

    what his mom and dad are

    doing
    D

    and no scolding when he cries
    G

    his mother died an outlaw
    D
    G

    she really meant no harm
    C
    G

    his daddy known as johnny
    D
    G

    brought her home in his stars.

    • 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.
