    Verse 1
    There's

    Tak
    in' 
    her 
    tonight 

    Back 
    down 
    south 
    to Texas 

    She's 
    been

    tables 

    To pay 
    rent 
    and

    able

    stay 

    clean.

    daddy'd get 
    drunk 

    Then

    And 
    her 
    mama'd lie 
    in 
    bed 

    High 
    on 
    pills 
    and 
    talk
    in' 
    to God 

    But 
    like 
    her 
    beautiful 
    tattoos 

    These 
    old 
    memories 
    she

    she 
    ran

    Star

    At 
    the 
    long 
    cold 
    night 

    Ahead 
    on 
    the 
    horizon 

    Is another 
    string 
    of 
    bright

    of 
    a man 

    she's 
    goin' 
    to 
    meet 

    In 
    bar 
    on 
    an 
    Austin 
    street 

    Maybe 
    this 
    one 
    won't 
    be so 
    mean.

    There's 
    a town 
    ahead

    • 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.
