  • Verse 1

    While 
    drivin' 
    a herd 
    of cattle 

    out in 
    old Nebraska 
    way 

    Headin' 
    east 
    at 
    Broken 
    Bow 

    on a hot September 
    day 

    Tryin' 
    to get to 
    Omaha 
    we 

    hoped 
    to find 
    a buyer 

    We 
    never 
    counted 
    in the 
    odds of 

    western 
    prairie 
    fire 

    A hot south 
    wind was 
    blowin' 
    and the 
    Verse 2

    air was 
    gettin' dry 

    Somethin' 
    far away 
    was 
    spellin' 

    trouble 
    in the 
    sky 

    Comin' closer 
    was a sound 
    that 

    topped 
    the devil's 
    choir 

    Then we 
    knew we 
    had to 
    race 

    raging 
    prairie 
    fire 

    Verse 3

    When 
    all 
    at once 
    flame 

    is seen a-lickin' 
    at 
    at the 
    sky 

    And 
    every 
    heart has 
    quickened 

    and there's 
    fear in 
    every 
    eye 

    We'd 
    just one 
    chance to 
    get away 

    for 
    there's no 
    place 
    to 
    hide 

    Gotta 
    reach the 
    river 
    Platte 
    one inch 

    deep 
    and 
    one 
    mile 
    wide 

    Verse 4
    The herd is 
    gettin' 
    tired 
    but we've 

    got no 
    time 
    to 
    rest 

    try to 
    clear the 
    red dust 
    that is 

    gath
    erin' 
    in my 
    chest 

    From 
    ridin' 
    tail on 
    a thousand 

    head with 
    the 
    weather 
    gettin' 
    dry 

    The 
    black cloud 
    in the west 
    is warning, 

    "Ride, 
    ride, 
    ride" 

    Verse 5

    The 
    roarin' 
    heat is 
    closer 

    ashes 
    fallin' 
    by 
    our 
    side 

    And 
    every 
    beast 
    and 
    bird 
    is fleein' 

    with its 
    warnin' 
    cry 

    We've 
    got to 
    reach the 
    river 

    but it's 
    still ten 
    miles 
    or 
    more 

    And 
    close 
    behind us 
    we can 

    hear that 
    wild 
    infernal 
    roar 

    Verse 6

    But 
    fate 
    had other plans, 

    for we 
    lost that 
    fatal 
    race 

    We 
    lost for 
    neither 
    man nor 
    beast 

    could 
    long keep 
    up the 
    pace 

    The 
    mighty 
    Platte subdued 
    its 

    rage but 
    none were 
    there to 
    rest 

    We 
    did our 
    best to 
    get away 

    but 
    only 
    I am 
    left 

    Now 
    on the 
    blackened 
    prairie, 
    far 
    Verse 7

    as the 
    eye can 
    see 

    The 
    grim re
    mains are 
    there to 

    show that 
    God rules 
    you and 
    me 

    Just 
    one he 
    left to 
    tell the 
    tale just 

    one was 
    his de
    sire 

    We 
    lost 
    our herd 
    and 
    thirty 

    men to 
    raging 
    prairie 
    fire

    • 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.
