    Verse 1
    I crossed 

    the 
    desert 
    on 
    a dining 
    car 

    In 
    the spring 
    of 
    ninety-one 

    I 
    I met 
    some 
    people 

    drinking 
    at 
    the bar 

    They 
    were 
    laughing, 
    having 
    fun 

    Verse 2
    I told 
    'em 
    that 
    I 
    hadn't 

    heard 
    the joke 

    That 
    was 
    so 
    hilari
    ous 

    They 
    said 
    that 
    I 
    was 
    just 

    a dumb 
    cowpoke 

    I didn't 
    want 
    to make 
    a fuss 

    Verse 3
    So 
    I shot 
    'em 
    down, 
    one 
    by 
    one 

    Then 
    I 
    left 
    'em 
    'long 
    the 
    rails 

    I use 
    my 
    gun 

    Whenever 
    kindness 
    fails 

    Verse 4
    The moon 
    was 
    in 
    the sign 

    of Scorpio 

    The sun 
    was 
    at 
    my 
    back 

    I didn't 
    know 
    how 
    far 
    the train 
    would 
    go 

    Until 
    the law 
    would 
    find 
    my 
    track 

    Verse 5
    I saw 
    the brakeman 
    and 

    the 
    engineer 

    Drinking 
    wine 
    and 
    eating 
    Brie 

    I 
    asked 
    'em 
    who 
    would 

    brake 
    and 
    who 
    would 
    steer 

    They started 
    pointing 
    back 
    at me 

    Verse 6
    So 
    I shot 
    'em 
    down, 
    one 
    by 
    one 

    Then 
    I 
    left 
    'em 
    'long 
    the 
    rails 

    I 
    use 
    my 
    gun 

    Whenever 
    kindness 
    fails 

    Verse 7
    I 

    only 

    have 
    a moment 
    to 
    explain 

    Just 
    a chance 
    to 
    let 
    you 
    know 

    When 
    it's 
    time 
    for 
    you 
    to 

    board 
    the train 

    There 
    are two 
    ways 
    you 
    can 
    go 

    Verse 8
    You 
    can ride 
    the 
    wheels 
    in

    to 
    the sun 

    Feel 
    the wind 
    upon 
    your face 

    Or 
    you 
    can 
    laugh 
    into 
    a 
    loaded 
    gun 

    And 
    you'll 
    likely 
    lose 
    your place 

    Verse 9
    So I shot 
    'em 
    down, 
    one 
    by 
    one 

    Then 
    I 
    left 
    'em 
    'long 
    the 
    rails 

    I 
    use 
    my 
    gun 

    Whenever 
    kindness 
    fails 

    Yeah 
    I shot 
    Verse 10
    'em 
    down, 
    one 
    by 
    one 

    Then 
    I 
    left 
    'em 'long 
    the 
    rails 

    When 
    I 
    use 
    my 
    gun 

    That 
    lonesome 
    whistle 
    wails

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
