Verse 1
D

Feet hit the ground feet leavin' town
C
D

quicker than a bullet or a knife
G

Fallin' ain't no fun when you're on the run
D
C
D

honey we was running for our life
G

When Stagger Lee had drunk
D

his fill of moonlight
G
D

He turned his burning eyes upon my soul
G

It's time my God to spend this night
D

with someone else he said
C

Squeeze a little pleasure from
D

the gold love and glory
C
D

We can take it easy when we're old

He said we'll take us into

town lay our money down
C

I'll bring you to the sweetest
D

thing that grows

Because the fairest ones in sight
G

are bloomin' every night
D
C

At a tavern called the Sabre
D

and the Rose
G

We swang into the saddle
D

sick as breathing
G

And slapped 'em once
D

for pleasure with the reins
G

The horses snorted frosty in
D

the moonlight
C
D

Somethin' dark was singing in my veins older
C
D
C
G
D

than the voices in my brain

He said this place you're gonna see

is why they live and breathe
C

And sink down a little bit deeper everyday
D

And sometimes at night
G
C

when the wind is running right
G
D
C
D

You can hear it suckin' thirty miles away
G
D

Then the light was crimson and I found her all
G
D
G

naked and eternal and insane
D

Secred as the mysteries around her like a veil
C
D

nothin' but her prison was profane
C
D
C

All we had in common was our chains
G
D
C
G

Oh burn it down boys burn it to
D

the ground boys burn it on down

Feet hit the ground feet leavin' town
C
D

quicker than a bullet or a knife
C
G

All there was she ran holdin' to my
D
C
D

hand runnin' for the river and our life
G

Slidin' from the moonlight into
D
G
D

shadows silent as the river as it flows
G
D

Swimmin' to the place they'll never find
C
D

us all we left behind us was our clothes

And the stories children sing about
C

the Sabre and the Rose

  • 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.
