  • Verse 1
    I never 
    did 
    see 
    Den
    ver, 

    'cos my 
    old car 
    gave 
    up

    'Bout 
    mile 
    inside 
    the 
    Colorado 
    line 

    So 
    thumbed 
    on 
    to 
    a truck 
    stop, 

    walked 
    in 
    and 
    took 
    a table 

    Found 
    the dollar 
    tip 
    someone 
    had left, 

    pre
    tended 
    it 
    was mine 

    Verse 2
    Now 
    she 
    could tell 
    by 
    lookin', 

    that 
    wasn't 
    much 
    to look 
    at 

    My 
    boots 
    and 
    jeans 
    had 

    seen 
    a better 
    time 

    But 
    as 
    she poured 
    my cof
    fee 
    she 

    asked 
    me 
    where 
    I came 
    from 

    So I 
    started 
    thinkin' 
    Texas 

    on the 
    Color
    ado 
    line 

    She 
    closed 
    her 
    eyes 
    and 
    Verse 3
    visualised 

    the 
    miles 
    of prairie 
    flowers 

    Where 
    tumbleweeds 
    go 

    waltzing 
    in the 
    wind 

    And 
    be
    fore 
    the 
    night 
    was 
    over 

    made 
    Texas 
    boast 

    That 
    would 
    take 
    her with 
    me, 

    when 
    went 
    home 
    again

    Though I 
    never 
    did 
    see 
    Denver

    never 
    made 
    my for
    tune 

    I was 
    richer 
    than 
    I dreamed 

    I'd 
    ever 
    be 

    So satisfied 
    just 
    knowin' 
    that 

    the 
    litte 
    promise 
    grow
    in' 

    In 
    that 
    Color
    ado 
    wo
    man 

    who shared 
    my 
    dream 
    with me 

    Verse 5
    And 
    we 
    talked 
    a lot 
    of Texas, 

    through the 
    Rocky 
    Mountain 
    Sum
    mer 

    Then 
    Winter 
    came 
    and laid 

    her 
    blanket 
    down 

    It was 
    ten 
    below 
    and fall
    in' 
    as my 

    woman 
    lay 
    in la
    bour 

    And I prayed 
    for 
    God 
    to help 
    her, 

    there was 
    noone 
    else 
    around. 

    Verse 6
    She closed 
    her

    and 
    visualised 

    the 
    miles 
    of prairie 
    flower

    Where 
    tumbleweeds 
    go 

    waltzing 
    in 
    the wind 

    And 
    held 
    her close 
    and 
    told 
    her 

    to be
    lieve 
    that 
    Texas 
    promise

    her with 
    me, 

    when

    Verse 7
    She 
    never 
    did

    held 
    our 
    baby

    She 
    kissed 
    us 
    both 
    and told 

    me

    cry 

    She said 
    "We'll 
    name our 
    baby 

    'Promise', and you take 
    her 
    home to Texas 

    And Honey,

    I closed 
    my 
    eyes

    • 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.
