    • Verse 1
    I 
    was 
    sitting 
    in a 
    coffee 
    shop 

    having 
    a 
    cup, 
    passing 
    time, 

    swapping 
    rodeo 
    stories 

    with 
    this 
    old 
    cowboy 
    friend 
    of mine, 

    when 
    some motorcycle 
    rider 

    started 
    snickering 
    in 
    the back

    and 
    started 
    poking 
    fun 
    at my 

    friend's 
    hat. 

    One 
    old boy 
    said, 
    hey 
    Tex, 

    where'd 
    you park 
    your 
    horse? 

    My 
    friend 
    just pulled 
    his 
    hat 
    down 
    low, 

    but 
    they 
    could
    n't 
    be ignored. 

    One 
    husky 
    dude 
    said, 

    maybe 
    I'll 
    just 
    rip 
    that 
    hat 

    right 
    off your 
    head. 

    And 
    that's when 
    my friend 
    turned 
    around 
    and 
    said, 

    You'll 
    ride 
    a 
    black tor
    nado 

    across 
    the western 
    skies, 

    You'll 
    rope 
    an 
    old 
    blue 
    northern 

    and 
    milk 
    it 
    till 
    it's dry 

    Bull
    dog 
    the 
    Mississip
    pi 

    and 
    pin 
    its ears 
    down 
    flat 

    Long 
    before 
    you'll 
    take 

    this 
    cowboy's 
    hat 

    He 
    said, 
    partner, 

    this 
    old 
    hat 
    is 
    better left 
    alone 

    It 
    used 
    to be 
    my 
    daddy's 
    hat, 

    but 
    last 
    year 
    he 
    passed 
    on 

    My 
    nephew 
    skinned 
    the 
    rattler 

    that 
    makes 
    up 
    the hat 
    band 

    But 
    in 69 
    he 
    died 
    in 
    Vietnam 

    And 
    I 
    got this 
    eagle 
    feather 

    From 
    an Indian 
    friend 
    of mine 

    Somebody 
    ran 
    him 
    down 

    Close 
    to the 
    Arizona 
    line 

    And 
    a real 
    spe
    cial 
    lady 

    Gave 
    me 
    this 
    hat pin 

    And 
    I don't 
    know 
    if I'll 
    ever 

    See 
    her 
    again 

    You'll 
    ride 
    a black 
    tor
    nado 

    Across 
    the 
    western 
    skies 

    You'll 
    rope 
    an old 
    blue 
    northern 

    and 
    they'll get 
    till 
    it's dry 

    Bull
    dog 
    the 
    Mississippi 

    and 
    pin 
    its 
    ears 
    down 
    flat 

    Long 
    before 
    you'll 
    take 

    this 
    cowboy's 
    hat 

    Now 
    if your 
    leather 
    jacket 
    means 
    to you 

    what 
    this 
    old 
    hat 
    means 
    to 
    me 

    Then 
    we understand 
    each 
    other, 

    we'll 
    just 
    let it 
    be 

    But 
    if you 
    still think 
    it's 
    funny 

    And 
    with my 
    back 
    against 
    the wall 

    Well, 
    you touch 
    my 
    hat, 

    and you'll 
    have to 
    fight 
    us all 

    Well, 
    I caught 
    a 
    little sadness 

    in 
    that gang 
    lead
    er's 
    eyes 

    Then 
    he 
    turned 
    back 
    to the 
    others, 

    and 
    they 
    walked 
    on 
    outside 

    And 
    when 
    my friend 
    turned 
    back 
    toward 
    me 

    I 
    noticed 
    that 
    his hat 
    brim 

    Was 
    turned 
    up like 
    a 

    big 
    ol' 
    Texas 
    grin 

    You'll 
    ride 
    a black 
    tor
    nado 

    across 
    the 
    western 
    skies 

    You'll 
    rope 
    an 
    old blue 
    north
    ern, 

    and 
    milk 
    it till 
    it's dry 

    Bull
    dog 
    the 
    Mississippi, 

    and 
    pin 
    its ears 
    down 
    flat 

    Long 
    before 
    you'll 
    take 

    this 
    cowboy's 
    hat 

    Long 
    before 
    you'll 
    take 
    this 

    cow
    boy's 
    hat 

    yeah

      "

      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.

      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.
