Intro 1
D
Verse 1
D
G
My name is Donald White, you see,
A
D
I stand before you all.
G
D
I was judged by you a murderer
A
And the hangman's knot must fall.
D
G
D
I will die upon the gallows pole
G
When the moon is shining clear,
D
G
And these are my final words
A
D
That you will ever hear.
Verse 2
D
I left my home in Kansas
When I was very young,
I landed in the old Northwest,
Seattle, Washington
Although I'd a- traveled many miles,
I never made a friend,
For I could never get along in life
With people that I met.
Verse 3
D
G
If I had some education
A
D
To give me a decent start,
G
D
I might have been a doctor or
A
A master in the arts.
D
G
D
But I used my hands for stealing
G
When I was very young,
D
And they locked me down
G
in jailhouse cells,
A
D
That's how my life begun.
Verse 4
D
G
Oh, the inmates and the prisoners,
A
D
I found they were my kind,
G
D
And it was there inside the bars
A
I found my peace of mind.
D
G
But the jails they were too crowded,
D
G
Institutions overflowed,
D
G
So they turned me loose to walk upon
A
D
Life's hurried tangled road.
Verse 5
D
G
And there's danger on the ocean
A
D
Where the salt sea waves split high,
G
And there's danger on the battlefield
D
A
Where the shells of bullets fly,
D
G
And there's danger in this open world
D
G
Where men strive to be free,
D
G
And for me the greatest danger
A
D
Was in society.
Verse 6
D
G
So I asked them to send me back
A
D
To the institution home.
G
But they said they were too crowded,
D
A
For me they had no room.
D
G
I got down on my knees and begged,
D
G
"Oh, please put me away,"
D
G
But they would not listen to my plea
A
D
Or nothing I would say.
Verse 7
D
G
And so it was on Christmas eve
A
D
In the year of '59,
G
D
It was on that night I killed a man,
A
I did not try to hide,
D
G
D
The jury found me guilty
G
And I won't disagree,
D
G
For I knew that it would happen
A
D
If I wasn't put away.
Verse 8
D
G
And I'm glad I've had no parents
A
D
To care for me or cry,
G
D
For now they will never know
A
The horrible death I die.
D
And I'm also glad I've
G
D
had no friends
G
To see me in disgrace,
D
For they'll never see that
G
hangman's hood
A
D
Wrap around my face.
Verse 9
D
G
Farewell unto the old north woods
A
D
Of which I used to roam,
G
D
Farewell unto the crowded bars
A
Of which'vebeen my home,
D
G
D
Farewell to all you people
G
Who think the worst of me,
D
G
I guess you'll feel much better when
A
D
I'm on that hanging tree.
Verse 10
D
G
But there's just one question
A
D
Before they kill me dead,
G
D
I'm wondering just how much
A
To you I really said
D
Concerning all the boys
G
D
that come
G
Down a road like me,
D
G
Are they enemies or victims
A
D
Of your society?

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!!!”

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
