    Verse 1
    Well 
    this 
    is 
    how 
    it 
    starts 

    Two 
    lovers 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    On 
    the 
    run, 
    from 
    the 
    one 

    That 
    they 
    called 
    Sheriff 
    Spark 

    Six 
    guns 
    by 
    their 
    side 

    And 
    bullets 
    'round 
    their 
    waist 

    Two 
    shots 
    to 
    the 
    sky 

    Signal 
    sound 
    for 
    the 
    chase 

    The 
    safe 
    was 
    nearly 
    empty 

    and 
    they 
    were 
    nearly 
    free 

    But 
    were 
    seen 
    by 
    the 
    good 
    eye 

    of 
    the 
    mean 
    Billy 
    Green 

    And 
    he 
    screamed 
    at 
    the 
    top 
    of 
    his 
    lungs 

    They're 
    on 
    the 
    run 

    It's 
    the 
    two 
    outsiders 

    Grab 
    your 
    horses 
    and 
    your 
    guns 

    Chorus 1
    said 
    wish 
    that 
    we 
    could 
    stay 
    here 

    But 
    fear 
    our 
    time 
    has 
    come 

    We 
    could 
    ride 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    dark
    ness 

    Chasing 
    the 
    rising 
    sun 

    We 
    gotta 
    pack 
    our 
    bags 
    this 
    in
    stant 

    We're 
    heading 
    south-bound 
    to 
    the 
    next 
    town 

    And 
    if 
    we 
    all 
    arrive 
    there 
    so 
    safe
    ly 

    Baby 
    you 
    can 
    lay 
    me 
    down 

    Lay 
    me 
    down 

    Lay 
    me 
    down 

    Lay 
    me 
    down 

    Verse 2
    Well 
    it's 
    the 
    story 
    of 
    the 
    two 

    Always 
    on 
    the 
    move 

    They 
    got 
    nothing 
    left 
    to 
    lose 

    'Cept 
    their 
    guns 
    and 
    their 
    wounds 

    Now 
    they're 
    crossing 
    borders 

    Sheriffs 
    posse 
    on 
    their 
    tail 

    They'd 
    rather 
    die 
    together 

    Than 
    be 
    stuck 
    up 
    in 
    cell 

    They 
    drank 
    up 
    all 
    the 
    whiskey 

    And 
    they 
    partied 
    every 
    night 

    Like 
    it 
    could 
    be 
    the 
    last 

    The 
    bounty 
    said 
    shoot 
    on 
    sight 

    So 
    they 
    chased 
    the 
    endless 
    summer 

    Though 
    it 
    came 
    with 
    the 
    pride 

    They 
    wouldn't 
    stop 
    running 

    'Til 
    they 
    found 
    paradise 

    But 
    the 
    sheriff 
    finally 
    found 
    them 

    with 
    his 
    eyes 
    seeing 
    red 

    So 
    the 
    lovers 
    had 
    to 
    shoot 
    him 
    down 

    and 
    fill 
    him 
    full 
    of 
    lead 

    They 
    were 
    finally 
    free 

    To 
    find 
    place 
    to 
    lay 
    their 
    head 

    And 
    when 
    they 
    finally 
    did 

    he 
    looked 
    at 
    her 
    and 
    then 
    he 
    said 

    Chorus 2
    said 
    wish 
    that 
    we 
    could 
    stay 
    here 

    'Cause 
    feel 
    our 
    time 
    has 
    come 

    And 
    we 
    can 
    walk 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    o
    cean 

    And 
    sit 
    with 
    the 
    rising 
    sun 

    So 
    unpack 
    your 
    bags 
    this 
    in
    stant 

    No 
    more 
    running 
    from 
    town 
    to 
    town 

    And 
    now 
    that 
    we've 
    arrived 
    so 
    safe
    ly 

    Baby 
    you 
    can 
    lay 
    me 
    down 

    Lay 
    me 
    down 

    Lay 
    me 
    down 

    Lay 
    me 
    down 

    Bridge 1
    Well 
    you're 
    my 
    green-eyed 
    girl 

    And 
    I've 
    been 
    running 
    around 
    with 
    you 

    It's 
    the 
    afternoon 

    and 
    we 
    got 
    nothing 
    left 
    to 
    do 

    So 
    wipe 
    the 
    dirt 
    off, 

    or 
    take 
    your 
    shirt 
    off 

    And 
    we 
    should 
    go 
    hit 
    the 
    cantina 

    We 
    got 
    work 
    off 

    said 
    it's 
    hot 
    outside 

    Let 
    me 
    go 
    swimming 
    in 
    your 
    eyes 

    We've 
    been 
    running 
    for 
    while 

    Why 
    don't 
    you 
    lay 
    down, 
    make 
    me 
    smile 

    could 
    never 
    ask 
    for 
    nothing 
    better 
    than 
    this 

    It's 
    just 
    tequila 
    and 
    the 
    beach, 

    that's 
    why 
    it's 
    salty 
    when 
    we 
    kiss 

    Chorus 3
    said 
    wish 
    that 
    we 
    could 
    stay 
    here 

    'Cause 
    feel 
    our 
    time 
    has 
    come 

    And 
    we 
    can 
    walk 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    o
    cean 

    And 
    sit 
    with 
    the 
    rising 
    sun 

    So

    • 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.
