    Verse 1
    Now old 
    Jake 
    was a cowboy 
    he'd worked 

    his whole 
    life 
    on the 
    range 

    And he 
    could 
    rope, 

    and he 
    could ride 
    with 
    any man 
    just 
    half 
    his 
    age 

    Old Jake 
    was my 
    hero 
    and me 
    I was 

    just 
    a green 
    kid 

    And I prayed 
    that someday 
    I could do 

    all the 
    things 
    old 
    Jake did 

    Well 
    we sat 
    around 
    the bunk 
    house 
    one 

    cold 
    and lonely 
    winter's 
    night 

    Just 
    chewin' 
    and 
    talkin' 
    and smokin' 

    by the 
    coal 
    oil light 

    Well 
    old Jake 
    had been aweful 
    quiet 
    that 

    evenin' 
    and he stared 
    hard 
    and long 

    He said 
    young 
    puncher 
    you goin' 

    to remember 
    me 
    after 
    I'm gone 

    Whatever 
    happens 
    to 
    old 

    cowboy 
    heros 
    like 
    me 

    broken 
    down 
    part 
    of 
    a man 
    used 
    to be 

    Will 
    be 
    forgotten 
    or 
    live 
    on 

    in your 
    memory 

    Whatever 
    happens 
    to 
    old 

    cowboy 
    heros 
    like 
    me 

    Verse 2

    It's been 
    a long 
    time 
    and oh 

    how the years 
    fade 
    away 

    Well I stopped 
    by 
    the bunk 
    house 
    were 

    me and old 
    Jake 
    used 
    to stay 

    They 
    say Jake 
    died 
    about 
    ten 
    years 
    ago 
    and they 

    buried 
    him out 
    there on 
    the plains 

    Old 
    friend 
    you might 
    be gone 
    but your memory 
    always 

    stays 
    the same 



    Whatever 
    happens...

    • 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.
