T'was in the town of Griffin,

the year was Eighty three

stepped up and said to me

How do you do young fellow and

And spend a pleasant summer,

out in New Mexico
G
Verse 2
I'll furnish you good wages,

If you will but go with me,

one summer season through

Then I'll furnish you no horses
D
from the hills of Mexico
G
Verse 3
We left the town of Griffin in
D
G
the merry month of May

When all the world was lovely

and everything was gay

With saddles on our horses,
G
marching over we did go
Until we reached the logging
D
out in New Mexico
G
Verse 4
It was there our pleasures ended
D
G
and our troubles they began

those cattle how they ran

Through all the thorns and thistles,

us cowboys had to go
While the Indians watched upon us,
D
out in New Mexico
G

Well, when the drive was over,
D

the riders would not pay

To all you happy people,

this much I have to say

To the God forsaken country,

they call New Mexico

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!!!”

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
