  • Verse 1

    tall 
    handsome 
    stranger 
    rode 
    into 
    town 

    With 
    fire 
    in 
    his 
    eyes 
    burning 
    red 
    as 
    sun
    down 

    His 
    boots 
    were 
    all 
    dusty, 
    his 
    coat 
    open 
    wide 

    Six 
    ways 
    of 
    dying 
    hung 
    low 
    on 
    his 
    side 

    Verse 2
    He 
    went 
    in 
    the 
    town 
    hall 
    asking 
    for 
    me 

    They 
    told 
    me 
    that 
    was 
    still 
    town 
    depu
    ty 

    sent 
    him 
    to 
    prison 
    to 
    pay 
    for 
    his 
    crime 

    He 
    killed 
    guard 
    on 
    the 
    Sante 
    Fe 
    line 

    Verse 3
    He 
    spread 
    word 
    around 
    town 

    that 
    my 
    time 
    had 
    come 

    My 
    notch 
    was 
    already 
    carved 
    on 
    his 
    gun 

    He's 
    laughing 
    and 
    braggin 
    and 
    having 
    his 
    fun 

    It's 
    all 
    show 
    for 
    he 
    knows 
    won't 
    run 

    Chorus 1
    That 
    night 
    in 
    silence 
    the 
    town 
    was 
    asleep 

    sat 
    by 
    my 
    window 

    and 
    looked 
    down 
    the 
    street 

    wished 
    in 
    my 
    heart 
    that 
    he 
    just 
    ride 
    away 

    hated 
    to 
    face 
    him 
    next 
    sunup 
    that 
    day 

    Verse 4
    met 
    him 
    at 
    sunup, 

    the 
    crowd 
    gathered 
    round 

    Waitin 
    and 
    watching 
    for 
    one 
    to 
    go 
    down 

    He 
    grabbed 
    for 
    his 
    six 
    gun, 
    tryin 
    his 
    best 

    He 
    cursed 
    as 
    my 
    bullet 

    went 
    deep 
    in 
    his 
    chest 

    Verse 5
    He 
    stood 
    there 
    moment 

    and 
    looked 
    all 
    a
    round 

    Slowly 
    and 
    lifeless 
    he 
    fell 
    to 
    the 
    ground 

    The 
    stranger's 
    my 
    brother, 
    born 
    an 
    out
    law 

    He 
    must 
    have 
    for
    gotton 
    taught 
    him 
    to 
    draw 


    Chorus 2
    The 
    whole 
    town 
    was 
    waiting 

    and 
    was 
    alone 

    The 
    blood 
    that 
    spilled 
    was 
    just 
    like 
    my 
    own 

    When 
    she 
    hears 
    this 
    story, 

    how 
    Mother 
    will 
    cry 

    Brother 
    'gainst 
    brother 
    and 
    one 
    had 
    to 
    die 

    To 
    die, 
    to 
    die

    • 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.
