    Verse 1
    I've 
    been 
    riding 
    all 
    day 

    long 
    through 
    the 
    wall 
    of 
    rain 

    In 
    the shadow 
    of 
    the mountains 

    on 
    the 
    barren 
    plain
    s 

    To 
    my 
    an
    gel 
    in 
    the 
    village 

    where 
    a 
    lamplight 
    glows 

    If 
    the 
    dogs 
    there 
    don't 
    betray 
    me, 

    no 
    one 
    will 
    know 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    In 
    the 
    city 
    of 
    the 
    soldier, 

    in 
    the 
    time 
    of 
    war 

    There 
    I 
    met 
    my 
    An
    gelina, 

    I 
    was 
    24 

    We made 
    arrangements 
    soon 

    thereafter 

    Wedding 
    plans 
    were 
    drawn 
    just 
    beyond 

    the 
    sound 
    of 
    laughter 

    Verse 3
    Cannons 
    thundered 
    on 
    when 
    I 
    enlisted 
    in 
    the 
    army, 

    Angelina 
    cried 

    I 
    whispered 
    to 
    her, 

    "Don't 
    you 
    worry 
    God 
    is 
    on 
    our 
    side" 

    On 
    the 
    battlegrounds before 
    me 

    His 
    plan 
    was 
    soon 
    revealed 

    He 
    guided 
    me 
    to 
    fame 
    and 

    glory 
    on 
    the battlefield 

    Verse 4
    Oo
    h 
    ooh, the 
    raven 
    flies, 

    ooh oo
    h, 
    the 
    coyote 
    cries 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 5
    Juan 
    Miguel 
    Ramos 
    Montoya 

    led 
    his 
    rebels 
    well 

    We 
    fought 
    them 
    through 
    the 
    Em
    erald 

    Valley 
    to 
    the Sacred 
    Hill 

    In 
    the 
    end 
    we 
    were 
    defeated, 

    I 
    was 
    left 
    for 
    dead 

    Juan 
    Montoya 
    took 
    our 
    city, 

    Angelina 
    fled 

    Interlude 3

    Verse 6
    I 
    took 
    to 
    hiding 
    in 
    the 
    mountains 

    through 
    the wintertime 

    In 
    the spring 
    I 
    rode 
    to 

    safety 
    across 
    the 
    borderline 

    I sent 
    word 
    to 
    Angelina, 

    soon 
    I 
    will 
    return 

    With 
    the full 
    moon 
    in 
    the window, 

    let 
    your 
    lamplight 
    burn 

    Verse 7

    From 
    the 
    bluff 
    above 
    her 
    village, 

    my 
    hope 
    has 
    turned 
    to 
    fright 

    Only 
    darkness 
    in 
    the 
    windows, 

    not 
    a single 
    light 

    I 
    cursed 
    my 
    God 
    and 
    shook 
    my 

    angry 
    fists 
    at 
    Him 
    above 

    Twice 
    for
    saken, 

    once 
    in 
    war 
    and 
    now 
    in 
    love 

    Verse 8

    Oo
    h 
    ooh, the raven 
    flies, 
    ooh 
    oo
    h, 

    the 
    coyote 
    cries 


    Verse 9
    I 
    ran 
    in rage 
    to
    ward 
    the chapel, 

    stricken 
    by 
    my 
    loss 

    I 
    vowed 
    to 
    leave 
    my 
    lifeless 

    body 
    upon 
    His 
    holy 
    Cross 

    But 
    at 
    the 
    altar 
    of 
    the 
    chapel, 

    a lonely 
    candle 
    shown 

    Across 
    the 
    face 
    of Angelina 
    kneeling 
    all 

    alone 

    Interlude 4


    Verse 10
    Oo
    h 
    ooh, the 
    raven 
    flies, 
    ooh 
    oo
    h, 

    the 
    coyote 
    cries 

    Ooh oo
    h, 
    the 
    raven 
    flies, 

    oo
    h 
    ooh, the coyote 
    cries

      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

      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.

      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.
