    Verse 1
    Me 
    and 
    the boy's 
    we 
    cinched 

    up 
    our 
    saddles 
    and 
    rode 
    to sonora 
    last 
    night 

    Gun's 
    hanging 
    proud, 

    daring 
    out 
    loud 
    for 
    any 
    one 
    looking 
    to fight 

    Card 
    cheats 
    and 
    rustlers 
    would run 
    for their 
    holes 

    when the 
    boys 
    from 
    the old 
    broken 

    Rode 
    up 
    and 
    reined 
    on 
    the street 
    that they 

    named 
    Sonora's 
    death 
    row 

    Mescal 
    is free 
    at Amanda's 
    saloon for 
    the boy's from the 
    old broken 

    Verse 2
    Saturday 

    nights in 
    the town 
    of Sonora 

    are the 
    best in all 
    Mexico 

    They've got 
    guitars 
    and 
    trumpets 
    and 

    sweet senoritas 
    who 
    won't want 
    to 
    let you go 

    You'd 
    never believe 
    such a gay 
    happy time on 

    the street 
    called Sonora's 
    death row 

    Verse 3
    Inside 
    Amanda's 
    we 
    was 
    a dancin' 

    with all 
    of 
    Amanda's 
    gals 

    won 
    some 
    silver 
    at 
    sev
    en card 
    stud 

    so 
    was 
    out 
    doin' 
    my 
    pals 

    But the 
    whiskey 
    and 
    mescal, 

    peso 
    cigars 
    drove 
    me 
    outside 
    for 
    some 
    air 

    Somebody 
    whispered 
    "Your life 
    or your 
    money", 

    I reached 
    but 
    my gun 
    wasn't 
    there 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    woke 
    up 
    face 
    down 
    in Amanda's 
    back 

    alley 
    aware 
    of the 
    fool 
    had been 

    Rushed 
    to 
    my 
    pony, 
    grabbed 
    my 
    Winchester 

    and 
    entered 
    Amanda's 
    again 

    Where 
    saw 
    my 
    partners 
    twirling 
    my 
    pistols 

    and throwing 
    my 
    money 
    around 

    Blinded 
    by 
    anger, 
    I jacked 
    the lever 
    and one 
    of them 

    fell 
    to the 
    ground 


    Amanda's 
    got 
    silent 
    like 
    night 
    in the 
    desert, 

    my 
    friends 
    stared 
    in 
    pure 
    disbelief 

    Verse 5
    Amanda 
    was 
    kneeling 
    be
    side 
    the dead 

    cowboy 
    plainly 
    expressing 
    her grief 

    And as 
    I bowed 
    my 
    head 
    a trembled 
    shot 
    through 

    me 
    my six- 
    gun 
    was still 
    at 
    my 
    side 

    felt 
    my 
    pockets, 
    there 
    was 
    my 
    money, 

    I fell 
    to 
    my 
    knees 
    and I 
    cried 


    nightmare 
    of mescal 
    is 
    all 
    that it 
    was 

    for 
    no 
    one 
    had robbed 
    me 
    at all 

    wish 
    was 
    dreaming 
    the sound 
    of 

    the gallows 
    they're 
    testing 
    just 
    outside 

    The 
    wall 

    Verse 6
    The mescal's 
    still 
    free 
    at 
    Aman
    da's 
    saloon 

    for the 
    boy's 
    from the 
    old 
    Broken 

    I'd 
    give 
    a ransom 
    to drink 
    there 
    today 
    and be 

    free 
    of Sonora's 
    death 
    row 

    I'd 
    give 
    a ransom 
    to drink 
    there 
    today 
    and be 
    free 
    of Sonora's 
    death 
    row

    • 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.
