Swell San Angelo chords by

Verse 1
C
G
C
G
C

An d the Eastern City
G

was once my home
C

Throughout the world this
G

city is well known
C

And I thought it was the best
A

until I came out in the West
D

And found out what these
G
C

folks knew all along

That out here where the
G

lazy concho flows
C

There dwells a town best known as Angelo
G
C

Where folks meet but seldom part

Unless they just don't have a heart
A
D
G

That's big enough for Swell St. Angelo
C

Swell St. Angelo
G
C
G

The grandest place I know
C

Now, I have roamed this wide world o 'er
A

But I'll never move no more
D
G
C

For I love you swell, son, and you loathe

Now here is where the
G

people feel the same
C

They always called you
G

right by your first name.
C

Now if you think you're a big shot,
G
A

you just won't fit in with our lot,
D
G
C

because we all are on an equal plane.
G

A banker might wear a diamond in his tie,
C
G

but a haughty gleam is never in his eye.
C

And when he grasps a cowboy's hand,


there's something they both understand,
A
D

this is the
G
C

Place where friendship never dies,

Swell St. Angelo,
G
C
G

The grandest place I know.
C

Now I have roamed this wide world o 'er,
A

But I'll never move no more,
D
A
G

For I love you, Swell St. Angelo.
C

Now we have cattle,
G

sheep, and cotton too,
C
G

And the sun is always shining through.
C

We may not have a world of gold,
A

But we've got love right in our souls,
D
G

That's what keeps us all
C

from feeling blue.

Now when you're tired
G

of the world and its woes,
C

And you'd like to give your
G

heart a chance to grow.
C

Just come on out here in the West,
G

and then you'll soon know all the rest
A
D
G

  • 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.
