    One 
    day 
    I thought 
    I would 

    have 
    some fun, 

    I'd 
    see 
    how punching 
    cows 
    was done. 

    So 
    the week 
    of the 
    cattle 
    run, 

    I 
    cornered 
    the cattle 
    king. 

    Says 
    he, 
    my foreman 
    has 
    gone 
    to town, 

    He's 
    in a 
    saloon, 
    his 
    name 
    is Brown. 

    Look 
    him up 
    and he'll 
    take you 
    down, 

    Says 
    I, 
    that's 
    just the 
    thing. 

    We 
    started 
    for 
    the 
    ranch 
    next day, 

    Brown 
    he talked 
    to me 
    all the 
    way. 

    He says, 
    punchin' 
    cows 
    is play, 

    why 
    it 
    isn't 
    work 
    at 
    all. 

    All 
    you gotta 
    do 
    is ride 
    as 
    easy 

    as floatin' 
    with 
    the tide. 

    That 
    son 
    of a gun, 
    how he 
    lied, 

    he 
    cer
    tainly 
    had 
    his 
    gall. 

    Sometimes 
    the cattle 
    would 
    make 
    a break 

    Out 
    across 
    the 
    plains they 
    would take 

    Like 
    they 
    was racin' 
    for 
    a stake 

    Or 
    maybe 
    a raisin' 
    pay 

    Some
    times 
    my horse 

    would 
    stumble 
    and fall 

    And 
    I couldn't 
    stop 
    myself 
    at 
    all 

    I'd 
    fly through 
    the air 
    like a 
    cannonball 

    Till 
    the 
    ground 
    come 
    up my 
    way 

    Then 
    they 
    tied 
    me on 
    to an 
    old greyhack 

    With 
    saddle 
    -horns 
    upon 
    his 
    back. 

    They 
    bedded me down 
    with 
    a gunny 
    -sack 

    And 
    pil
    lows 
    and blankets 
    all. 

    When 
    I 
    got on 
    him he 
    left the 
    ground, 

    He 
    went 
    up in 
    the air 

    and he 
    circled 
    around. 

    I fell 
    off, 
    I 
    busted 
    the ground, 

    Oh, 
    brother, 
    was that 
    a 
    fall! 

    Well, 
    they 
    picked me 
    up 

    and they 
    carried 
    me in, 

    They 
    rubbed 
    me down 

    with a 
    rolling 
    pin. 

    That's 
    the way 
    they 
    all 
    begin, 

    You're 
    do
    ing fine, 
    said 
    Brown, 

    And 
    tomor
    row morning, 

    if 
    you don't 
    die, 

    I'll 
    give you 
    another horse 
    to 
    try. 

    Do 
    you mind 
    if I walk, 
    says 
    I, 

    A cowboy 
    walk, you're 
    fired, 

    get 
    back to town. 

    Well, 
    I traveled 
    up 
    and I 
    traveled 
    down, 

    Lived 
    in cities, 
    I 
    lived in 
    the town, 

    Traveled 
    the whole 
    wide 

    world 
    around, 

    I've got 
    this much 
    to 
    say. 

    Before 
    you 
    go cow 
    punch and 

    kiss 
    your wife, 

    Put a 
    heavy 
    insurance 
    upon 
    your 
    life, 

    Then 
    cut your 
    throat 
    with a 
    butcher knife, 

    It's 
    easier 
    to die 
    that 
    way. 
    you

      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

      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.
