    Verse 1
    The 
    covey 
    took 
    wing 

    Shotguns 
    singing 

    pointing 
    dog 
    down 

    in 
    the 
    old 
    logging 
    road 

    Danny 
    got 
    three 

    And 
    looked 
    back 
    grinning 

    fumbled 
    a
    round 

    and 
    tried 
    to 
    reload 

    The 
    country 
    was 
    cold 

    With 
    the 
    sun 
    westward 
    sinking 

    It's 
    good 
    to 
    be 
    back 
    in 
    this 
    place 

    With 
    my 
    hands 
    a
    round 

    Bel
    gian 
    made 
    Browning 

    My 
    mind 
    on 
    the 
    lines 
    of 
    her 
    face 

    Verse 2
    Well 
    now 
    Danny's 
    my 
    buddy 

    We 
    grew 
    up 
    like 
    family 

    Hunted 
    this 
    timber 

    be
    fore 
    we 
    could 
    drive 

    The 
    old 
    English 
    pointer 

    He 
    once 
    belonged 
    to 
    me 

    But 
    gave 
    him 
    up 

    when 
    moved 
    in 
    '05 

    Off 
    with 
    the 
    girl 

    Off 
    to 
    the 
    city 

    Off 
    on 
    wing 
    and 
    chance 

    Hell 
    thought 
    it'd 
    play 
    out 

    Just 
    like 
    some 
    story 

    We 
    fell 
    in 
    love 
    at 
    ro
    deo

    Won't 
    you 
    crawl 
    back 
    with 
    nothing 

    but 
    razor 
    and 
    comb 

    Babe, 
    if 
    you 
    need 
    me, 

    I'll 
    be 
    where 
    you 
    found 
    me 

    Go 
    on 
    to 
    hell, 
    honey, 

    I'm 
    headed 
    home 

    Verse 3
    Dan 
    says, 
    "Look 
    at

    time 
    spent 
    in 
    Tulsa 

    Did 
    not 
    help 
    your 
    shooting 

    And 
    look 
    at 
    the 
    gray 
    in 
    your 
    hair 

    How 
    good 
    does 
    it 
    feel? 

    You 
    be
    long 
    in 
    these 
    hills 

    It's 
    best 
    that 
    you 
    let 
    it 
    all 
    end 

    If 
    you'd 
    have 
    married 
    that 
    girl 

    You'd 
    have 
    married 
    her 
    fa
    mily 

    You 
    dodged 
    bullet 
    my 
    friend"

    here 
    to 
    do 

    Well, 
    it's 
    light

    At

    • 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.
