  • Verse 1
    He 
    was 
    black 
    little 

    kid 
    who 
    got 
    no respect 

    As 
    he 
    watched 
    his 
    dad 
    with a 

    rope 
    around 
    his 
    neck 

    He was 
    being 
    hung 
    for 

    a crime 
    he did 
    not 
    commit 

    So 
    as 
    the kid 
    dropped 
    to one 
    knee 

    He could 
    see 
    his dad 

    being hung 
    from a 
    tree 

    And 
    one of 
    the guys 
    hit 

    him with 
    whip 
    and said, 

    Kid, 
    not yet! 

    So 
    he 
    ran 
    away 
    crying 

    But 
    sud
    denly 
    he looked 

    back 
    and 
    he hollered 

    I'll 
    be back 
    when I'm 
    grown 

    You 
    just 
    wait 

    I'll 
    get 
    'all for 
    this 

    An
    ten 
    years 
    later 

    Hey, 
    hey, 
    hey 

    Mr. 

    Nappy 

    Head 

    Cowboy 

    Hey, 
    hey, 
    hey 

    Mr. 

    Nappy 

    Head 

    Cowboy 

    One 
    black 
    sunny 
    day 

    He 
    rode 
    in 
    tire 

    And 
    on 
    his 
    face 

    He 
    wore 
    crown, 
    and at 
    the corner 
    of 
    his 
    eye, 

    he 
    saw 
    the town 
    people 
    star
    ing. 

    They 
    were 
    staring 
    at a 
    .45 

    strapped 
    to 
    his 
    side. 

    And 
    to every
    one's 
    sur
    prise, 

    his skin 
    was 
    as 
    black 
    as 
    his 
    hair. 

    He 
    got 
    off his 
    horse 
    real 
    slow, 

    and made 
    his 
    way 
    to the 
    barroom 
    door. 

    Hey, 
    hold 
    it there, 
    no 

    Negroes 
    allowed, 

    someone 
    called. 

    And 
    as 
    quick 
    as 
    the words 
    had 
    been said, 

    his big 
    45 
    skid 
    firing 
    led, 
    in a 
    few 
    minutes 
    you 

    could 
    hear 
    pin 
    fall. 

    was 
    out 
    running 
    some 
    outlaws 
    down, 

    when 
    I heard 
    what 
    I kept 
    in 
    town, 
    as I 
    reached 

    the 
    barroom 
    door, 
    he 
    began 
    to 
    laugh, 
    he 
    said, 

    what is 
    this, 
    some 
    kind 
    of 
    a game, 
    think 

    grabbed 
    my 
    gun 
    and fell 
    to the 
    floor 

    As 
    I felt 
    lead 
    from 
    his 
    big 
    .44's 

    just 
    lied 
    then, 
    pretending 
    that 
    I was 
    dead 

    He 
    got 
    on 
    his 
    horse 
    and 
    started 
    to 
    leave 

    But 
    I had 
    big surprise 
    waiting 

    for 
    me 
    in the street 

    There's 
    20 
    of 
    my 
    deftest 
    guns, 

    they're 
    firing 
    legs 

    Yeah 

    And 
    that 
    was 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    the 

    Nasty 

    Head 

    Cowboy 

    Bang, 
    bang, 
    bang 

    Shoot 
    em 
    up, 
    bring 
    em 
    back 

    Bang, 
    bang, 
    bang 

    Shoot 
    em 
    up, 

    bring 
    em 
    in

    • 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.
