Shane and Dixie they

were two-bit crooks

crooks

They wanted to be famous

like you read in books

Shane had the brain and

Dxie had the looks for glory
G

As a bank robber Shane really

hadn't got a clue

He'd end up likely at the

end of a noose

Which was fine by Shane if the papers

could use the story

Shane took aim with the 16-bore

And Dixie lay dying down

there on the floor

Shane was shaken but his purpose

Shane said, Lord what have I done

But this victory is only halfway won

Then he put the barrel underneath his tongue and fired

Verse 3

[CHORUS] They

found the bodies when the

neighbours complained

Shane was all over the walls like paint

Dixie looked bad but her heart
D

beat faint but surely
G

Well they saved her life,

they were just in time

And she turned her back on a life of crime

And she married the man who

O the news of the screws

The money helped to pay

for Shane's new grave

And it looked so fine till

And maybe that's why we forget those lines he told

  • 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.
