    There 
    he 
    goes! 
    him! 

    Don't let 
    him get away, 

    man! 


    One 
    hour 
    ahead 
    of the 
    posse 

    The 
    bloodhounds 
    are 
    hot 
    on 
    the trail 

    Last 
    evening 
    I 
    shot down 
    my 
    sweetheart 

    This 
    morning 
    I broke 
    out 
    of 
    jail 

    My 
    pinto 
    is 
    tired 
    and hungry, 

    an
    d 
    I'm 
    feel
    ing 
    weary 
    an
    d gone. 

    We 
    started 
    ahead 
    of 
    the posse, 

    and 
    we gotta 
    keep 
    go
    ing 
    on. 

    The 
    sheriff 
    has sworn 
    he 
    will 
    get me, 

    he's 
    riding 
    with 
    twenty 
    and 
    five. 

    But I 
    ain't 
    afraid 
    of that posse, 

    for 
    they'll 
    never get 
    me 
    alive. 

    Ha 
    ha 
    ha 
    ha, 

    one 
    hour 
    ahead 
    of 
    the posse 

    No 
    turning 
    to 
    left 
    or to 
    right 

    We 
    must 
    win 
    the race 
    to the 
    river 

    For 
    they'll 
    be a 
    -hanging 
    tonight 

    We're 
    gonna 

    hang 
    him 
    to
    night 

    One 
    hour 
    ahead 
    of 
    the 
    posse 

    No 
    time 
    for remorse 
    or regret 

    But 
    somehow 
    her 
    blue eyes 
    still 
    haunt 
    me 

    Her 
    laughter 
    is 
    taunting 
    me 
    yet 

    It 
    started 
    the 
    night 
    that I 
    met 
    her 

    She 
    kissed 
    me 
    and 
    vowed 
    she would 
    care 

    I 
    traded 
    the 
    gold 
    in my 
    pocket 

    To 
    fondle 
    the 
    gold 
    in her 
    hair 

    She 
    lied 
    when 
    she said 
    that she 
    loved me 

    She 
    lied 
    with 
    each kiss 
    that she 
    gave 

    She 
    lied 
    till 
    the moment 
    I 
    caught her 

    And 
    now 
    she lies 
    still 
    in 
    her 
    grave 

    One 
    hour 
    ahead 
    of 
    the 
    posse 

    The 
    night 
    is 
    a -comin' 
    on 
    fast 

    Just 
    one 
    little mile 
    to the 
    Rio 

    And 
    we'll 
    shake that 
    posse 
    at 
    last 

    We're 
    nearing 
    the 
    end 
    of our 
    journey 

    We 
    ain't 
    got a 
    second 
    to spare 

    The 
    hoofbeats 
    are 
    closer 
    and 
    closer 

    The 
    barking 
    of 
    dogs 
    till the 
    end 

    And 
    now 
    we're ahead 
    of 
    the posse 

    And 
    now 
    I'm 
    in
    side 
    of 

    my 
    home 

    At 
    last 
    we 
    have beaten 
    that 
    posse 

    May 
    the 
    Lord 
    have 
    mercy 
    on 
    my 
    soul 

    May 
    the 
    Lord 
    have 
    mercy 
    on 

    his 
    soul.

      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

      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 🙂

      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.

      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.
