Intro 1
G
D
Verse 1
Em
The old gunfighter on the porch
D
Stared into the sun
C
G
And relived the days of living by the gun
D
Em
When deadly games of pride were played
D
And living was mistakes
not made
G
And the thought of the smell
C
of the black powder smoke
D
And the stand in the street
G
at the turn of a joke
Verse 2
D
Ah, the smell of the black
G
powder smoke
D
And the stand in the street
G
at the turn of a joke
Verse 3
G
D
Em
It's always keep your back to the sun
D
He can almost feel the weight of the gun
G
And he's faster than snakes
or the blink of an eye
And it's a time for all slow men to die
D
Em
And his eyes get squinty
and his fingers twitch
D
As he empties the gun at
the son of a bitch
C
And he's hit by the smell of the black
powder smoke
D
And the stand in the street
G
at the turn of a joke
Verse 4
D
Hit by the smell of the black
G
powder smoke
D
And the stand in the street
G
at the turn of a joke
Verse 5
G
Em
Now the burn of a bullet is only a scar
D
He's back in his chair in front
of the bar
Cm
And the streets are empty and
the blood's all dried
G
And the dead are dust and
the whiskey's inside
D
Em
So buy him a drink and lend
him an ear
D
'Cause he's nobody's fool
G
and the only one here
C
Who remembers the smell of the black
powder smoke
D
And the stand in the street
G
at the turn of a joke
Verse 6
D
Remember the smell of the black
G
powder smoke
D
And the stand in the street
G
at the turn of a joke
Verse 7
G
Em
He said I stood in that street
before it was paved
D
Learned to shoot or be shot
before I could shave
C
And I did it all for the money and fame
G
Noble was nothing but feeling no shame
D
Em
And nothing was sacred
but stayin' alive
D
And all that I learned from
a Colt 45
C
Was to curse the smell of the black
powder smoke
D
And the stand in the street
G
at the turn of a joke
Verse 8
C
Curse the smell of the black
G
powder smoke
D
And the stand in the street
G
at the turn of a joke
Verse 9
G
Em
He's just an old man, now,
that no one believes
D
That says he's a gunfighter,
the last of the breed
C
And there are ghosts
G
in the street seeking revenge
C
G
Calling him out to the lunatic fringe
D
Em
Now he's out in the traffic
checking the sun
D
And he's killed by a car
Em
as he goes for his gun
C
So much for the smell of the black
powder smoke
D
And the stand in the street
G
at the turn of a joke
Verse 10
C
So much for the smell of the black
G
powder smoke
D
G
And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke

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 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
