    Verse 1
    Grey 
    and 

    chalky 
    like 
    my 
    grandaddy's 
    skin 

    The 
    sky 
    was 
    cold 
    and lonely 

    and 
    closing 
    in 

    All 
    the trees 
    looked like 
    stubble, 

    on 
    winter's 
    chin 

    And I 
    think 
    I'll 
    ride 
    my 
    pony 

    Verse 2

    There's 
    a wreath 
    of 

    bones 
    and ribbon 

    Hanging 
    on 
    my 
    cabin 
    door 

    Lusty 
    appetites 
    have 
    ravaged 
    all 

    of 
    summer
    's 
    stores 

    And the 
    fear 
    of death 
    don't 
    even 

    come 
    to 
    visit 
    me 
    no 
    more 

    So 
    I'll 
    think 
    I'll 
    ride 
    my 
    pony 

    Verse 3
    Ride 
    me some 
    place, 

    lonesome 
    has 
    no 
    mean
    ing 

    Ride 
    me somewhere, 

    I 
    ain't 
    stayed 
    too 
    long 

    Riding 
    down 
    a mountainside 

    ca
    reening 

    Ridin' 
    up some 
    open 
    cut, 

    with 
    fate 
    my 
    only 
    song 

    I 
    think 
    I'll 
    ride 
    my 
    pony 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    While 
    the 
    horseman 
    you might 
    say 

    He 
    is 
    a slave 
    to the 
    root 

    But 
    he 
    loves 
    that 
    beast 
    of 
    burden 

    And 
    there 
    is 
    no substitute 

    For 
    the 
    pleasure 
    of 
    saddle 

    Or 
    the 
    leather 
    of 
    his 
    boot 

    So 
    I 
    think 
    I'll 
    ride 
    my 
    pony 

    Verse 5
    I 
    had 
    a 
    girl 
    in Dixon 
    county 

    And we rode 
    the Highland 
    rim 

    She 
    kept 
    my 
    cabin 
    warm 
    in 
    winter 

    And 
    mended 
    every 
    hem 

    And 
    I 
    would've 
    took 
    her with 
    me 

    But 
    that 
    trail 
    never 
    ends 

    So 
    I 
    think 
    I'll 
    ride 
    my 
    pony 

    Verse 6
    Riding 
    where 
    spring 
    turns 

    up 
    black 
    roses 

    Wraps 
    its 
    thorns 
    and petals 

    around 
    my 
    mind 

    Riding 
    somewhere 
    only 
    God 
    sup
    poses 

    I could 
    ever 
    dream 
    of 
    getting 
    to 

    I'm 
    sneaking 
    up 
    be
    hind 

    Think 
    I'll 
    ride 
    my 
    pony 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 7
    Think 
    I'll 
    ride 
    my 
    pony 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 8
    Think 
    I'll 
    ride 
    my 
    pony

    • 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.”
