    • Verse 1
    Let 
    me 
    tell 
    you about 
    a pair 

    of 
    jeans 
    I 
    once had. 

    I 
    bought 
    them in 
    a work 
    clothes 
    shop, 

    not 
    a store 
    anymore. 

    Where 
    a 
    sailor 
    ashore 
    can 
    find 

    good 
    work 
    clothes 
    galore. 

    I'm 
    talking 
    about 
    a place, 

    Ace, 
    where 
    a cowboy 
    in 
    town 

    can 
    drown 
    his 
    sorrows 
    in good 
    blue 

    denim 
    and 
    can
    vas 
    brown. 

    It's 
    there 
    I 
    spies 
    these 
    old 

    Levi's. 

    I 
    mean, 
    they're brand 
    spank
    in' 
    new, 

    but the style 
    was 
    old. 

    True 
    blue 
    jeans. 

    Made 
    of 
    dark 
    blue 
    cloth. 

    Got that 
    sweet 
    soapy 
    smell 
    in 
    there. 

    Thick 
    and 
    hard 
    so 
    they'll 

    wear 
    real 
    well. 

    Buy 
    them loose, 

    cause 
    they're 
    gonna shrink. 

    I 
    give 
    them three 
    extra 
    inches 
    in 
    length, 

    and 
    two 
    in the 
    waist. 

    They'll 
    soon 
    fit 
    tight, 

    Provided 
    you 
    wash 
    and 

    dry 
    them right. 

    Here's 
    what I'd 
    done, 

    and it's 
    half 
    the fun. 

    True 
    blue 
    jeans. 

    From 
    the days 
    when a 
    man's 

    best 
    friend 
    was 
    his old 
    six 
    -gun, 

    I 
    passed 
    a rope 
    up 
    one 
    leg 
    and 
    side, 

    Crossed 
    it 
    down 
    the other 
    side, 

    Closed 
    that 
    bite 
    with 
    a bowlin' 
    knife, 

    Tied 
    the bitter 
    end 
    to 
    a stump 
    nearby, 

    and 
    tossed 
    them 
    in the 
    creek 

    and 
    watched 
    them sink. 

    I 
    left 
    them 
    soaking 
    overnight, 

    when 
    morning 
    come 
    I 
    saw 
    the 
    sight. 

    I 
    pulls 
    them 
    out, 
    unties 
    the 
    line, 

    wrung 
    them out
    , 

    hung 
    them on 
    a branch 
    to 
    bake 
    in 
    the sun, 

    like 
    they 
    done 
    on 
    the 
    ranch. 

    True 
    blue 
    jeans. 

    I 
    pulls 
    them 
    off 
    when 
    they're bone 
    dry, 

    It 
    was still 
    quite 
    stiff, 
    I can 
    testify, 

    But 
    softer 
    then 
    than they 
    were before. 

    Now 
    I 
    can 
    walk 
    from 
    here to 
    the door, 

    Not 
    stiff 
    as a 
    board, 
    but 
    they still 
    got 

    some 
    stout, 

    Which 
    will 
    ease 
    your comfort 

    in the 
    saddle, 

    Scout. 

    True 
    blue 
    jeans, 

    And 
    that's 
    the way 
    they 

    made 
    them 
    when 

    Your 
    old 
    44 
    was 
    your 
    very best 
    friend. 

    When 
    your 
    word 
    was 
    true, 

    and 
    genes 
    were 
    dark 
    blue.

      "

      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.
