Verse 1
G
E

I was runnin' through the summer rain,

try'n' to catch that evenin' train
A

And kill the old familiar pain weavin'

through my tangled brain
D

When I tipped my bottle back and
G

smacked into a cop I didn't see
E

That police man said, "Mister Cool,

if you ain't drunk, then you're a

fool."
A

I said, "If that's against the law,

then tell me why I never saw
D

A man locked in that jail of yours who

wasn't neither black or poor as
G

me?"
D

Well, that was when someone
G
A
Am

turned out the light s
D

And I wound up in jail
G

to spend the night

And dream of all the wine
C
Am

and lonely girls
D
G

In this best of all possible worlds.
E

Well, I woke up next mornin'

feelin' like my head was gone
A

And like my thick old tongue was

lickin' something sick and wrong
D

And I told that man I'd sell my soul for

something wet and cold as that
G

old cell.
E

That kindly jailer grinned at me,

all eaten up with sympathy
A

Then poured himself another beer and

came and whispered in my ear,
D

"If booze was just a dime a bottle boy,
G

you couldn't even buy the smell"
Em

I said, "I knew there was something

But it takes more than that to bring me down,

down, down.

wine and lonely girls

Well, they finally came and told me

B

And I'd be leavin' town if I

knew what was good for me
E

I said, "It's nice to learn that ev'rybody's

so concerned about my
A

health."

(They were obsessed with it)
F#

I said, "I won't be leavin' no

more quicker than I can
B

'Cause I've enjoyed about as

much of this as I can stand

And I don't need this town of yours

more than I never needed nothin'

  • 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.
