The Ballad Of Widder Jones (And Her Twenty-Five Acres Of Sand) chords by 
George Hamilton Iv
N/A•
Verse 1
D
When Ben Jones fell under Yankee lead,
Ben Jones left a witter.
G
A lovely thing just turned eighteen
who couldn't help but be bitter.
A
He didn't leave for nothing but a cabin
and some fiddles
and some old black taxis
D
On twenty -five acres of sandy soil
G
D
In the middle of Texas
A
D
Now Witter Jones said, Benny's gone
It ain't no use in me cryin'
G
So Witter Jones went into town
And started drinkin' some wine
A
She told the strangers all around the bar
That she was all alone
D
And that she'd give her land
to the very first man
G
D
who would take her home
Well, the next morning found a tall,
dark stranger
looking over his new land
G
Said, what good is twenty
D
G
-five scrawny acres
when you can't get grass to stand?
D
A
He went back inside
and told the widder Jones
she'd made a fool out of him
D
And he laid Witter Jones' dying bones
G
D
Near their twenty -five acres of sand
Now a hundred years has come and gone
And Witter Jones is forgotten
G
The tall, dark stranger died in chains
In San Quentin's dark bottom
A
But poor fools, they let their hearts be ruled
Of passion, greed, and malice
D
Cause today that 25 acres of sand
G
D
is sittin' in the middle of Dallas
G
A
D
It's sittin' in downtown Dallas

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 🙂”

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.”
