Chris Ledoux
Chris Ledoux

N/A
Verse 1
D
G
D

On

a highway through
G

the desert beneath an overpass
A
D

Sat two hikers just watchin' cars go by

Now one was wearin'
G

sandles with straggly matted hair
A
D

Rose colored glasses for his eyes
Verse 2
D

Now the other was a cowboy,
G

he'd been down on his luck
A

Lost his money at the Tuscon Rodeo
D

And he sat beside what remained
G

of his trusty pickup truck
A

And like the hippie now he's
D

thumbin' down the road
Verse 3
A

Now some folks don't realize
D

but it's a well know fact
G

Cowboy's and hip
A
D

pies ain't never got along
A

Now was it just coincidence
D

or some weird act of fate
G

That brought these two to
A
D

gether on the road?
Verse 4
D

Well they sat there without talking while
G

the morning sun rose high
A

When a hot desert breeze
D

commenced to blow

And the fragrance of the incense
G

and six weeks without a bath
A

Finally drifted down and
D

reached the cowboy's nose
Verse 5
A

Well, man that really did it,
D

he couldn't take no more
G

And he tied his old bandana
A
D

'round his face
A

Said, "You greasy stinking hippie
D

you'd put a skunk to shame
G
A

Boy, you're a discrace to the
D

human race"
Verse 6
D

Now the hippie,
G

he just sat there and gave the cowboy a smile
A

Said, "Man, you don't smell so
D

sweet yourself

Well, I'm not too sure what that
G

green stuff is on your boots
A

And on your jeans but whew,

it's enough to make a buzzard belch"
D
G
D
Verse 7

A

The cowboy said, "Now listen,
D

I ain't gonna that that stuff from you
G
A
D

No long haired freak's gonna talk to me that way,

get up"
A

Well, the hippie said, "Now hold on man,
D

what good's that gonna do?
G

You know fighting never settles
A
D

nothing anyway"
Verse 8
D

Said, "You know man, in a lot of ways,
G

we're an awful lot alike
A
D

Once you get down beneath the skin

Like two books with different covers
G

but the same words inside
A
D

We're both brothers of the wind"
Verse 9
A

"Now we both love our freedom
D

and we'll answer to no man
G

And you've heard it said
A
D

to thine own self be true
A

We're just a couple of free spirts
D

drifting across the land
G
A
D

Doing exactly what we want to do"
Verse 10
D
G

Said, "Now me I got my thing and you,

you got yours
A

And I don't see why we
D

can't get along

They say the closest thing to freedom
G

is livin' on the road
A

In a country where freedom's
D

almost gone"
Verse 11
D

Well the cowboy,
G

he just stood there and never said a word
A

But you know this hippie sure
D

made a lot of sense

Well, they shook hands and parted
G

as a truck pulled to the side
A

And the hippie,
D

he went east and I went west
G
D

  • 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.
