    Verse 1
    Me 
    and 
    ol' 
    Bill 
    there 

    we both 
    come 
    from 
    Georgia 

    Met 
    Hank 
    out 
    in 
    New 
    Mexico 

    We're 
    bound 
    for 

    Duranqo to join 
    Pancho 
    Villa 

    We 
    hear 
    that 
    he's 
    payin' 
    in 
    gold 

    Verse 2

    I guess 
    a man's 
    got 
    to do 

    what 
    he's 
    best 
    at 

    Ain't 
    found 
    nothin' 
    better 
    so 
    far 

    Been 
    called 
    mercenaries 
    and 

    men 
    with 
    no 
    country 

    Just 
    soldiers 
    in 
    search 
    of a war 

    Verse 3
    And 
    we're 
    bound 
    for 

    the border 

    We're soldiers 
    of fortune 

    And 
    we'll fight 
    for 
    no 
    country 
    but 

    we'll die 
    for 
    good 
    pay 

    Under 
    the flag 
    of of 
    the greenback 
    dollar 

    Or 
    the peso 
    down 
    Mexico 
    way 

    Interlude 1

    this

    might 

    go 
    back 
    to Georgia 

    And

      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 🙂

      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.
