    Verse 5
    When I'm 
    too 
    damn 
    old 
    to sit 
    a horse, 

    I'll steal 
    the 
    warden's 
    car 

    Break 
    my 
    ass 
    out 
    of this 
    prison, 

    leave

    we're 
    headin' 
    west 

    Toward 
    the 
    mountains 
    and 
    the ocean 

    where 
    the 
    eagle 
    makes 
    his 
    nest 

    If 
    our bones 
    bleach 
    on 
    the desert, 

    we'll 
    con
    sider 
    we 
    are 
    blessed

      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

      "

      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.
