    • Verse 1
    I'm 
    a 
    pistol- 
    packin' 
    papa, 

    and 
    when 
    I 
    walk 
    down 
    the streets 

    You can 
    hear 
    those 
    mamas 
    shouting 

    "don't 
    turn 
    your 
    gun 
    on 
    me" 

    Now 
    girls, 
    I'm 
    just 
    a good 
    guy 

    and I'm 
    going 
    to 
    have 
    my 
    fun 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    don't 
    want 
    to smell 
    my 
    smoke, 

    don't 
    monkey 
    with 
    my 
    gun

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    Like 
    a hobo 
    when 
    he's 
    hungry, 

    like 
    a 
    drunk 
    man 
    when 
    he's 
    full 

    I'm 
    a pistol- 
    packin' 
    papa 
    and 
    I 

    know 
    how 
    to shoot 
    the 
    bull 

    The 
    whole 
    of 
    men 
    don't 
    hold 
    me 

    and 
    they 
    sure 
    leave 
    me 
    be 

    I'm 
    a pistol- 
    packin' 
    papa 
    and I 

    ramble 
    where 
    I 
    please 

    Verse 3

    Oh 
    well, 
    I 
    have 
    that 
    funny 
    feeling, 

    that 
    luring 
    ramble's call 

    I swing 
    aboard 
    of some 
    freight 
    train 

    and I shoot 
    my 
    pistol 
    low 

    Sometimes 
    one 
    shot 
    will 
    do, 

    near 
    sometimes 
    it 
    takes 
    four 
    or 
    five 

    And 
    sometimes 
    I 
    shoot 
    all 
    around 

    before 
    I'm 
    satis
    fied 

    When 
    you 
    Verse 4
    hear 
    my 
    pistol 
    puffin' 
    you 
    bet

    ter 
    hide 
    yourself 
    some
    place 

    'Cause 
    I 
    ain't 
    made 
    for 
    stoppin' 
    and I 
    come 
    for 
    a shoot

    in' 
    race 

    My sweetheart 
    under
    stands 
    me, 

    she 
    says 
    I'm 
    her 
    big 
    shot 

    I'm 
    her 
    pistol- 
    packin' 
    daddy 

    and I 
    know 
    I 
    got 
    to drop 

    Verse 5
    You 
    can 
    hear 
    my 
    Newsport roadster, 

    you 
    can 
    take 
    my 
    Hartford 
    hat 

    But 
    you 
    can 
    never 
    take 
    from 
    me 

    my 
    silver- 
    mounted 
    gat 

    I'm 
    a 
    pistol- 
    packin' 
    papa 
    and 

    I'm 
    going 
    to 
    have 
    my 
    fun 

    Just 
    follow 
    me 
    and 
    you 
    will 

    hear 
    the 
    barking 
    of 
    my 
    gun

    • 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.”
