Intro 1
D

Verse 1
D

And now my friends you've asked me
G
D

what makes me sad and still
A
D

And why my brow is darkened
A
D

like the clouds upon the hill
G
D

Run in your ponies closer
G
D

and I'll tell to you my tale
A
D

Of Utah Carol my partner
A
D

and his last ride on the trail
Verse 2
D

We rode the range together
G
D

and rode it side by side
A
D

I loved him like a brother,
A
D

and I wept when Utah died
G
D

We were rounding up one morning
G
D

when work was almost done
A
D

When on his side the cattle
A
D

started on a frightened run
Verse 3
D

Underneath the saddle
G
D

that the boss's daughter rode
A
D

Utah that very morning
A
D

had placed a bright red robe
G
D

So the saddle might ride easy
G
D

for Lenore his little friend
A
D

And it was this red blanket
A
D

that brought him to his end
Verse 4
D

The blanket was now dragging
G
D

behind her on the ground
A
D

The frightened cattle saw it
A
D

and charged it with a bound
G
D

Lenore then saw her danger
G
D

and turned her pony's face
A
D

And leaning in the saddle
A
D

tied the blanket to its place
Verse 5
D

But in leaning lost her balance,
G
D

fell in front of that wild tide
A
D

"Lay still Lenore I'm coming,"
A
D

were the words that Utah cried
G
D

His faithful pony saw her
G
D

and reached her with a bound
A
D

I thought he'd been successful,
A
D

and raised her from the ground
Verse 6
D

But the weight upon the saddle
G
D

had not been felt before
A
D

His backcinch snapped like thunder
A
D

and he fell by Lenore
G
D

Picking up the blanket
G
D

he swung it over his head
A
D

And started cross the prairie,
A
D

"Lay still Lenore," he said
Verse 7
D

When he got the stampede turned
G
D

and saved Lenore his friend
A
D

Then turned to face the cattle
A
D

and meet his fatal end
G
D

His six gun flashed like lightning,
G
D

the report rang loud and clear
A
D

As the cattle rushed and killed him
A
D

he dropped the leading steer
Verse 8
D

On his funeral morning
G
D

I heard the preacher say
A
D

I hope we'll all meet Utah
A
D

at the roundup far away
G
D

Then they wrapped him in a blanket
G
D

that saved his little friend
A
D

And it was this red blanket
A
D

that brought him to his end

  • 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.
