Verse 1
D
A
D

Pecosville
A

was quite a cowboy
D

down in Texas,
A
D

and the western superman to say the least.
G

He was the roughest, toughest critter,
D

never known to be a quitter,
A
D

cause he never had no fear of man or beast.
G
D

So yippee -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh,
A

for the toughest critter west of the Alamo.
D

Once he wrote the raging cyclone
A
D

out of nowhere

Then he straddled it and
A
D

settled down with ease
G

And while that cyclone

bucked and flitted
D

Hickus rolled a smoke and lit it

And he tamed that ornery
A
D

wind down to a breeze
G
D
A

So yippee -aye -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh
D

Once there was a drought
A
D

that spread all over Texas
A
D

So to sunny California he did go
G

And though the gag is kinda corny
D

He brought rain from California
A
D

That's the way we got the Gulf of Mexico
G
D

So yippee -aye -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh

Her the toughest critter
A
D

west of the Alamo
G

Now once a band of rustlers
D

stole a herd of cattle
G

But they didn't know the

herd they stole was Bill's
C
F

And when he caught

them crooked villains
G
D
G

Pecos knocked out all their fillings
C
G

That's the reason why there's
C

gold in them there hills
F

So yippee -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh

Her the toughest critter

west of the Alamo

while traveling along the desert.

Water. It was ninety miles across

the burning sand.

Water. He knew he'd never
F

reach the border.
G

Water. If he didn't

get some water.

So he got a stick and dug the Rio Grande.

By Leola
C
G

While a tribe of painted Indians

did a war dance

Pecos started shooting up their little game

He gave them red skin

such a shake -up

That they jumped out of their

make -up

That's the way the painted
C

desert got its name
F
C

So yippee -aye -aye, yippee -aye -oh

Her the toughest critter
G
C

west of the Isle of Moe
G

While reclinin' on a
C

cloud high over Texas

With his guns he made the
G
C

stars evaporate
F

Then Pecos saw them stars declinin'
C

So he left one brightly shinin'
G

As the emblem of the Lone Star,
C

Texas State
F
C

So yippee -i -yay, yippee -yay, yippee -i -oh
G

As the emblem of the Lone Star,
Abdim
G
C

Texas State!

  • 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.
