    Along 
    about 
    1825 
    I 
    left 

    Tennessee 
    very 
    much alive 

    I 
    never would 
    have got through 
    the 

    Arkansas 
    mud 

    If 
    I hadn't been 
    a -ridin' 
    on the 

    Tennessee 
    studs 

    I 
    had some 
    trouble with 

    my sweetheart's 
    paw 

    And 
    one of her 
    brothers was 
    a bad outlaw 

    I 
    sent her 
    a letter by 
    my uncle's 
    foot 

    And 
    I rode 
    away on 
    the 

    Tennessee 
    stud 

    The 

    Tennessee stud 
    was 
    long 
    and lean 

    The color of 
    the 
    sun 
    and 

    his eyes 
    were 
    green 

    He 
    had 
    the nerve and 
    he had 
    the blood 

    And 
    there never was 
    a horse like 
    the 

    Tennessee 

    stud 

    We 
    drifted on 
    down into 
    no man's 
    land 

    We 
    crossed that 
    river called 
    the 

    Rio 

    Grande 

    I 
    raced my 
    horse with 
    a 

    Spaniard's 
    foal, till 
    I got me 

    a skin full 
    of silver and 
    gold 

    Me 
    and 
    a gambler, 
    we couldn't agree, 

    we 
    got in a 
    fight over 

    Tennessee 

    We 
    jerked our 
    gun, 
    then he fell with 
    a thud, 

    and I got 
    away on 
    the 

    Tennessee 
    stud 

    The 

    Tennessee 
    stud was 
    long 
    and lean, 

    the color of 
    the 
    sun 
    in his 
    eyes 
    were 
    green 

    He had 
    my nerve and 
    he had 
    the blood 

    And 
    there never was 
    a horse like 
    the 

    Tennessee 

    Stud I 
    got 
    just 
    as lonesome as 

    a man can 
    be 

    Dream
    in' 
    of my girl in 

    Tennessee 

    The 

    Tennessee 

    Stud's green 
    eyes turned 
    blue 

    Cause 
    he was 
    a -dreamin' of 

    a 
    sweetheart, 
    too 

    We 
    loped right 
    back across 

    Arkansas 

    I 
    whooped her 
    brother and 

    I whooped her 
    paw 

    I 
    found that 
    girl with 
    the golden 
    hair 

    And 
    she was 
    a -ridin' 
    on the 

    Tennessee 
    mare 

    The 

    Tennessee 
    stud was 
    long 
    and 
    lean 

    The 
    color of 
    the sun 
    in his eyes 
    were 
    green 

    He 
    had 
    the nerve and 
    he had 
    the blood 

    And 
    there never was 
    a horse like 
    the 

    Tennessee 

    Stub 

    Stare 
    up 
    to stare up and 
    side by 
    side 

    We 
    crossed the 
    mountains and 

    the valleys 
    wide 

    We 
    came to 

    Big 

    Muddy then 
    we forded 
    the flood 

    On 
    the 

    Tennessee 
    mare and 
    the 

    Tennessee 

    Stub 

    A 
    pretty little 
    baby on 
    the cabin floor 

    A 
    little horse 
    caught playin' 
    around 
    the door 

    I 
    loved that 
    girl with 
    the golden 
    hair 

    And 
    the 

    Tennessee 
    stud loves 
    a 

    Tennessee 
    man 

    The 

    Tennessee 
    stud was 
    long 
    and 
    lean 

    The 
    color of 
    the sun in 
    his 
    eyes 
    was 
    green 

    He 
    had 
    the nerve and 
    he had 
    the blood 

    And 
    there never was 
    a horse like 
    the 

    Tennessee 
    stud

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
