N/A
Verse 1
D
A

Let me tell you about a pair
D

of jeans I once had.
A
D

I bought them in a work clothes shop,
A

not a store anymore.
D

Where a sailor ashore can find
A
D

good work clothes galore.
A

I'm talking about a place,
D
A

Ace, where a cowboy in town
D

can drown his sorrows in good blue
Bb
D

denim and canvas brown.
G
Em

It's there I spies these old
G

Levi's.
Gm
D
Em
E
A

I mean, they're brand spankin' new,
D

but the style was old.
A
D

True blue jeans.
A
D
A

Made of dark blue cloth.
Em
A
D

Got that sweet soapy smell in there.
A

Thick and hard so they'll
D
Bm
D
A
Em

wear real well.
A
D

Buy them loose,
A

cause they're gonna shrink.
D

I give them three extra inches in length,
A

and two in the waist.
D

They'll soon fit tight,
A

Provided you wash and
D
A

dry them right.
Em
A
D

Here's what I'd done,

and it's half the fun.
Bb
D

True blue jeans.

From the days when a man's

best friend was his old six -gun,
E
A
D

I passed a rope up one leg and side,
A
D

Crossed it down the other side,
A
D

Closed that bite with a bowlin' knife,
A
D

Tied the bitter end to a stump nearby,

and tossed them in the creek
A

and watched them sink.
D
A

I left them soaking overnight,
Bm
D
A
D

when morning come I saw the sight.

I pulls them out, unties the line,
A
Em
A

wrung them out,
D
A
D

hung them on a branch to bake in the sun,
A
D

like they done on the ranch.
G
Bb
D

True blue jeans.

I pulls them off when they're bone dry,
Bb
D
E

It was still quite stiff, I can testify,
A
D

But softer then than they were before.
A
D

Now I can walk from here to the door,
A
D
A

Not stiff as a board, but they still got
D

some stout,

Which will ease your comfort

in the saddle,
A

Scout.
D

True blue jeans,
A
D

And that's the way they
A

made them when
D

Your old 44 was your very best friend.
G
E

When your word was true,
D
B
E

and genes were dark blue.
A
D

  • 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.
