The Killer chords by 
Cisco Houston
N/A•
Verse 1
D
Dobe Bill,
he went a- riding
Through the canyon, in the glow
Of a quiet Sunday morning
A
From the town of Angelo
D
Ridin' easy on that pinto
That he dearly loved to straddle,
With a six- gun and sombrero
A
That was wider than his saddle
G
And he's hummin' as he's goin'
Of a simple little song
D
That's a- boomin'
through the cactus
A
As he's gallopin' along:
D
"Oh, I've rid from San Antony
Verse 2
Through the mesquite and the sand
I'm a rarin', flarin' bucko,
A
Not afraid to play my hand.
G
Well, I'm a hootin', shootin' demon
And to have my little fun
A
D
On my pinto called Apache
A
D
And Adolphus that's my gun."
Verse 3
D
Well straight to Santa Fe he drifted,
And he mills around the town
Sorta gittin' of his bearin's
A
As he pours his liquor down
G
But he's watchin',
always watchin',
Every hombre in the place,
D
Like he's mebbe sorta lookin'
For some certain
A
D
hombre's face.
Verse 4
D
Then one night he saunters
careless
To the place of Monte Sam
And he does a bit of playin'
A
Like he doesn't give a damn.
G
Then all at once it's hushed and quiet,
Like a calm before the blow,
D
And the crowd is tense and nervous,
A
D
And the playin stopped and slow.
Verse 5
D
At the bar a man is standin',
Sneerin' as his glances lay,
Like a challenge did he fling 'em,
A
Darin' 'em to make the play.
G
Two- Gun Blake, the Texas killer,
Hated, feared wherever known
D
Stood and drank his glass of mescal
A
With assurance all his own.
D
Verse 6
Then the eyes of Blake, the killer,
Met the glance of Dobe Bill
And they held each one
the other
A
With the steel of looks that kill,
G
Then the tones of Blake came slowly,
With a sneer in every word
D
"Well, you've found me!"
But the other gave no sign he
A
D
saw or heard.
Verse 7
D
Walkin' calmly toward the speaker,
He advanced with
steady pace
Then he grinned,
and quick as lightnin',
A
Slapped him squarely in the face.
G
"Shoot, you snake!" he
whispered hoarsely.
"Shoot, you lily- livered cur!"
D
"Draw! You're always
strong for killin';
Now I'm here to shoot for
A
her!"
D
Verse 8
Some there was that claimed they saw it,
As the killer tried to draw
But there's no one knows for certain
A
Just exactly what he saw;
G
I'll agree the shootin' started
Quick as Blake had made his start
D
Then a brace of bullets hit him
A
Fair and certain through the heart.
D
Verse 9
As he fell, his hand was graspin'
For the gun he'd got too
late
With the notches on it showin'
A
Like the vagaries of fate.
G
And the man who stood there lookin'
At the killer as he lay
B
D
Murmured: "Nell,
I've kept my promise.
A
D
I have made that scoundrel pay!"
Verse 10
D
Then Dobe Bill, he went a- ridin'
From the town of Santa Fe
On a quiet Sunday morning,
A
Goin' happy on his way,
D
Ridin' easy on that pinto
That he dearly loved to straddle
With a six- gun and sombrero
A
That was wider than his saddle,
G
And he's a hummin' as he's goin' Of a
Verse 11
G
simple little song
D
That's a- boomin' through the cactus
As he's gallopin' along:
A
Verse 12
D
"Oh, I'm goin' down the canyon,
Through the mesquite and the sand
I'm a rarin', flarin' bucko,
A
Not afraid to play my hand.
G
Well I'm a rootin', shootin' demon
D
And I have my little fun
On my pinto called Apache, a- ha,
A
And Adolphus that's my gun."
D

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

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
