    Down in 
    the 
    Alabama 
    jailhouse, 

    as 
    lonesome 
    as 
    can be, 

    Well, 
    nothin' 
    but the 
    blues 
    all around 
    me 

    to 
    keep 
    me company. 

    Time 
    on 
    my hands 
    and I'm 
    a -waitin', 

    I'm 
    walkin' 
    up and 
    down 
    the floor, 

    But 
    if 
    I ever 
    get 
    out 

    of this Alabama 
    jail 

    Well, I'm 
    never comin' 
    back 
    no more 

    Cause 
    I started 
    into 

    drinkin' 
    and gamblin' 

    knew at 
    that time 
    what 
    was wrong 

    But 
    I thought 
    that I 
    could win 

    a lot 
    of money 

    Have 
    a lot 
    of wine 
    and women 
    and song 

    But 
    lost 
    all 
    my 
    money 

    Went 
    out 
    on 
    a drinkin' 
    spree 

    Somebody 
    shot 
    down 
    that 
    gambling 
    man 

    woman 
    laid 
    the blame 
    on 
    me 



    He 
    ain't 
    policeman, 

    he 
    come along 
    and he 
    got me 

    He 
    locked 
    me 
    in his cold, 
    cold cell 

    With 
    million 
    bars 
    all 
    around 
    me 

    Nobody 
    to 
    go my 
    bail 

    While 
    I'm 
    wait
    ing 
    for the 

    judge 
    and that 
    jury 

    don't 
    know 
    what 
    the 
    verdict's 
    gonna be 

    But 
    if 
    I ever 
    get 
    out 
    of this 

    Alabama 
    jail 

    They're 
    gonna 
    see the 
    last 
    of 
    me 



    Well, 
    I'm 
    a -sittin' 
    in this 

    Alabama 
    jailhouse 

    Well, 
    I'm so 
    lonesome 
    that 
    I could 
    die 

    Because 
    they 
    clipped my 
    wings, 

    they put me 
    in 
    this cage 

    Well, 
    I'm 
    the 
    kind 
    of 
    bird 
    that don't fly 

    Well, 
    I'm 
    -waitin' 

    for the 
    judge 
    and 
    that jury 

    don't know 
    what 
    the 

    verdict's 
    gonna be, 

    but 
    if 
    I ever 
    get 
    out 
    of this 

    Alabama 
    jail, 

    they're 
    gonna 
    see the 
    last 
    of 
    me. 

    They're 
    gonna 
    see 
    the last 
    of 
    me.

    • 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.
