  • Verse 1
    A Frenchman 
    was having an 

    argument with 
    an 
    American 

    about 
    the 
    relative sophistication 
    of their cultures, 


    and the American said, 

    as proof that America 

    was sophisticated, 

    we're 
    making a motion picture in 

    America 

    based 
    on a 
    book which is banned 

    in France. 

    And 
    the Frenchman said, 

    really, what book? 

    The 
    American says, it's called 
    Peter, 

    and 
    it's about a 49 
    -year -old 
    man 

    who 
    makes love to 
    a 12 -year -old. 


    The Frenchman said, 

    really, a 12 -year -old what? 

    Well, 
    people 
    have found companionship 

    with 
    very many odd 
    creatures. 


    And amon
    g them, 

    the 
    fellow in this 
    song called 
    Old 
    Loris. 

    Dolores is 
    a town. 

    In 
    the 

    valley 
    down 
    be
    low 

    where 
    the 
    little pinions 
    grow, 

    And 
    it's 
    never 
    less than 

    half a 
    day to 
    wa
    ter, 

    There 
    used 
    to be 
    town 

    where the 
    crick come 
    tum
    bling down, 

    From 
    the 
    Mesa 
    where 
    it never really 
    ought 

    The 
    night 
    was 
    bright 
    with 
    candle
    light, 

    the whole 
    town joined 

    the 
    chor
    us, 

    and most 
    any man 
    in sight 

    let 
    his 
    can
    non drift 
    at 
    night 

    to 
    mosey 
    to the 
    streets of 
    old 

    Dolores. 


    Then 
    things would 
    kind 
    of 
    spin 

    till 
    the 
    sun come 
    up 
    again 

    Like 
    the 
    back of 
    some old 

    yellow prairie 
    wag
    on 

    And 
    would 
    show up 
    dim and 
    red 

    About 
    half 
    a hundred 
    head 

    Of 
    our 
    saddle ponies, 

    standin' 
    reins 
    -draggin' 

    Red 
    brick 
    walls 
    and 
    the 
    waterfalls 

    The 
    whole 
    world 
    lay 
    before 
    us 

    But the 
    Dolby 
    huts 
    are 
    gone 

    And 
    the 
    gold 
    mills in the 
    dock

    Don't 
    tinkle 
    in the 
    streets of 
    Old 

    Elorz 


    am 
    the girl who's 
    from Mexico, 

    used to 
    wander 
    to and 
    fro 

    When 
    used to 
    meet her by 
    willow 

    Well, 
    guess 
    that any 
    girl 

    would 
    give 
    fellow's 
    man a twirl 

    When 
    the 
    same has 
    been used 

    in saddles 
    for 
    pillar 

    The 
    big 
    cigars, 
    the wide 
    -eyed 
    stars, 

    the 
    smiles 
    that 
    waited 
    for 
    us. 

    Well, if there's 
    any little 
    world 

    inside 
    the 
    gates 
    of hell, 

    I'll 
    bet the 
    boys 
    have named it 

    all along. 


    Thank 

    Thank 
    you.

      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.
