He was a long,
tall stranger from way down south

Where he'd left his life behind

a pickup truck
D

And Shenandoah eyes

in that local bar

Where I earned my pay each night

Singing my songs to empty chairs

and going home half tight
D

D
So the nights rolled by like headlights

shining on a lonesome strip of tar
Em

I kept his word of kindness close

to me like a pick on my guitar
A
D
And we talked about the singers
F#m
and the songs we loved
G
And the songs we'd most forgot
Em
In that run -down bar bar
A
they'd make last call
G
A
D
And I'd never want to stop
Verse 3
G
[Chorus] 'Cause I was
living on nothing
A
but a young girl's dreams
D
With my cowboy boots and
G
my old six-string
Em
Hitching Hitching my
A
wagon to a star
D
G
Dreaming of leaving those local bars
D

When I'd get him up at closing time

For a couple of songs and

a chance to shine

Like the star that he longed to be

He looked a hell of a lot

like me

Well, he'd played a lot of places where the
G
only wages were food and beer for free
Em
A
No fancy licks, but he had him a gift
D
G
A
for the kinds of songs he'd sing
D
But you do what you can to

be a sat isfied man
G
Just to have your peace of mind

So he gave it all up for a government job
G

where the paychecks come on time
D
Verse 5
A

So now he comes to the bar
to hear me play guitar
G
And to share a drink or two
Em

And we sit swapping tales of where we've

G
A
been and what we'd rather do
D
There's a wealth of dangers when

you're talking to strangers
G
And I meet them all the time
Em
A
G
A

But my heart knew better than my head when I looked into those eyes

there waiting up for me at home

It's a helluva way to live from day to day

I was glad for the life I'd found

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.”
