  • Verse 1
    T'was 
    in 
    the 
    town 
    of 
    Griffin, 

    the 
    year 
    was 
    Eighty 
    three 

    It 
    was 
    there 
    an 
    old 
    cow 
    puncher, 

    stepped 
    up 
    and 
    said 
    to 
    me 

    How 
    do 
    you 
    do 
    young 
    fellow 
    and 

    how 
    would 
    you 
    like 
    to 
    go 

    And 
    spend 
    pleasant 
    summer, 

    out 
    in 
    New 
    Mexico 

    Verse 2
    I'll 
    furnish 
    you 
    good 
    wages, 

    your 
    transportation 
    too 

    If 
    you 
    will 
    but 
    go 
    with 
    me, 

    one 
    summer 
    season 
    through 

    But 
    if 
    you 
    should 
    get 
    homesick 

    and 
    back 
    to 
    Griffin 
    go 

    Then 
    I'll 
    furnish 
    you 
    no 
    horses 

    from 
    the 
    hills 
    of 
    Mexico 

    Verse 3
    We 
    left 
    the 
    town 
    of 
    Griffin 
    in 

    the 
    merry 
    month 
    of 
    May 

    When 
    all 
    the 
    world 
    was 
    lovely 

    and 
    everything 
    was 
    gay 

    With 
    saddles 
    on 
    our 
    horses, 

    marching 
    over 
    we 
    did 
    go 

    Until 
    we 
    reached 
    the 
    logging 

    out 
    in 
    New 
    Mexico 

    Verse 4
    It 
    was 
    there 
    our 
    pleasures 
    ended 

    and 
    our 
    troubles 
    they 
    began 

    The 
    first 
    hail 
    storm 
    fell 
    on 
    us, 

    those 
    cattle 
    how 
    they 
    ran 

    Through 
    all 
    the 
    thorns 
    and 
    thistles, 

    us 
    cowboys 
    had 
    to 
    go 

    While 
    the 
    Indians 
    watched 
    upon 
    us, 

    out 
    in 
    New 
    Mexico 

    Verse 5
    Well, 
    when 
    the drive 
    was 
    over, 

    the 
    riders 
    would 
    not 
    pay 

    To 
    all 
    you 
    happy 
    people, 

    this 
    much 
    have 
    to 
    say 

    Go 
    back 
    to 
    your 
    friends 
    and 
    loved 
    ones, 

    tell 
    others 
    not 
    to 
    go 

    To 
    the 
    God 
    forsaken 
    country, 

    they 
    call 
    New 
    Mexico

    • 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.
