Utah chords by

Verse 1
D
G
D
A
D
And now, my friends,
you ask me
G
D
what makes me sad and still
G
D
And why my brow is darkened
E
like clouds upon the hill
A
D
Run in your pony closer
G
and I'll tell you all the tale
D
G
D
Of Utah Corral, my partner,
A
D
and his last ride on the trail
Mid the cactus and the mesquite
G
of Mexico's fair land
D
G
D
Where the cattle roam in thousands,
E
many a herd and many a brand
A
D
There's a grave with
neither headstone,
G
D
neither date nor name
G
D
There lies my partner sleeping in
A
D
the land from which I came
We rode the rains together
G
D
and rode it side by side
G
D
I loved him as a brother,
E
I wept when Utah died
A
D
We were rounding up one morning,
G
D
our work was almost done.
G
Went away the cattle
D
started
A
D
on a mad and fearful run.
The boss's little daughter
G
D
was holding on that side.
G
D
She started in to turn them,
E
A
that's where my partner died.
D
She used a saddle blanket
G
D
given her by a friend.
G
D
It was this bright red blanket
A
D
brought Utah to his end.
As Beryl rushed her pony
G
D
at the cattle on the right
G
D
The blanket slipped beneath her
E
and cut the stirrup tight
A
D
When the cowboy saw the blanket,
G
they all held their breath
D
G
D
If now should the pony fail her,
A
D
none could save her from her death
When Barrow saw the cattle,
G
D
she turned her pony's face
G
D
She leaned from out her saddle -tide,
E
the blanket in its place
A
D
But in leaning, lost her blanket,
G
fell in front of that wild tide
D
G
D
Lie still, Barrow, I'm coming,
A
D
were the words my partner cried
About 15 yards behind her,
G
D
Utah come ridin' fast
G
D
Though he never saw that mo ment,
E
A
the ride would be his last
D
His pony reached Farrell
G
with firm and steady bound
D
G
D
He swung from out the saddle
A
D
to catch her from the ground
But the cinches of his saddle
G
had not been felt before
D
G
D
and his backstitch snapped asunder
E
and he fell beside Barrow.
A
D
He now picked up the blanket
G
D
and swung it over his head
G
D
and started across the prairie
A
D
lie still Barrow he said.
His six gun flashed like lightning
G
the report rang loud and clear
D
G
as the cattle rushed to kill him
D
E
A
he dropped the leading steer
D
and when we broke the circle
G
where Utah's body lay
D
G
D
with many a wound and bruise,
A
D
his young life had ebbed away
And in some future morning
G
I heard the preacher say
D
G
D
I hope we'll all meet Utah
A
E
at the roundup far away
A
D
Then we wrapped him in a blanket,
G
set him by his little friend
D
G
And was that very blanket
D
A
D
G
D
A
D
that brought Utah to his end

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
