Now let me tell a story,
I can tell it all
B
About the mountain boy
Em
who ran illegal alcohol
His daddy made the whiskey,
the son, he drove the load
B
And when his engine roared,
Em
they called the highway thunder road
Verse 2
E
Sometimes into Ashville,
sometimes Memphis Town
B
The revenuers, they chased him,
E
but they couldn't run him down
Each time they thought they had him,
his engine would explode
B
He'd go by like they were standing
E
still on thunder road
Verse 3
A
There was thunder,
E
thunder over thunder road
B
Thunder was his engine and white
Em
lightning was his load
Am
There was moonshine,
E
Em
moonshine to quench the devil's thirst
B
The law they swore they'd get him,
Em
but the devil got him first
Verse 4
Em
On the first of April, 1954
B
The federal man sent word,
Em
he better make his run no more
He said 200 agents were
covering the state
Bsus4
B
Whichever road he'd try to take,
Em
they'd get him sure as fate
E
“Son”, his daddy told
Verse 5
him,
“Now make this run your last
B
Your tank is filled with 100 proof,
E
you're all tuned up and gassed
Now don't take any chances,
if you can't get through
B
I'd rather have you back again
E
than all that mountain dew”

Roaring out of Harlan,
E
Em
revving up his mill
B
He shot the gap at Cumberland
Em
and screamed through Maynardville
With G- men on his tail light,
roadblocks up ahead
B
The mountain boy took roads that
Em
even angels feared to tread
Verse 8
E
Blazing right through Knoxville,
out on Kingston Pike
B
Then right outside of Bearden, there
E
they made the fatal strike
He left the road at ninety,
that's all there is to say
B
The devil got the moonshine and
E
the mountain boy that day
Verse 9

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

“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
