  • Verse 1
    was 
    runnin' 
    through 
    the 
    summer 
    rain, 

    try'n' 
    to catch 
    that 
    evenin' 
    train 

    And 
    kill 
    the 
    old 
    familiar 
    pain 
    weavin' 

    through 
    my 
    tangled 
    brain 

    When 
    tipped 
    my 
    bottle 
    back 
    and 

    smacked 
    into 
    cop 
    didn't 
    see 

    That 
    police 
    man 
    said, 
    "Mister 
    Cool, 

    if 
    you 
    ain't 
    drunk, 
    then 
    you're 

    fool." 

    said, 
    "If 
    that's 
    against 
    the 
    law, 

    then tell 
    me 
    why 
    never 
    saw 

    A man 
    locked 
    in 
    that 
    jail 
    of 
    yours 
    who 

    wasn't 
    neither 
    black 
    or poor 
    as 

    me?" 

    Well, 
    that 
    was 
    when 
    someone 

    turned 
    out 
    the light

    An
    d I 
    wound 
    up 
    in 
    jail 

    to spend 
    the night 

    And 
    dream 
    of 
    all 
    the 
    wine 

    and 
    lonely 
    girls 

    In 
    this 
    best 
    of all 
    possible 
    worlds. 

    Well, 
    woke 
    up 
    next 
    mornin' 

    feelin' 
    like 
    my 
    head 
    was 
    gone 

    And 
    like 
    my 
    thick 
    old 
    tongue 
    was 

    lickin' 
    something 
    sick 
    and 
    wrong 

    And 
    told 
    that 
    man 
    I'd 
    sell 
    my 
    soul 
    for 

    something 
    wet 
    and 
    cold 
    as 
    that 

    old 
    cell. 

    That 
    kindly 
    jailer 
    grinned 
    at 
    me, 

    all 
    eaten 
    up 
    with 
    sympathy 

    Then 
    poured 
    himself 
    another 
    beer 
    and 

    came 
    and 
    whispered 
    in 
    my 
    ear, 

    "If 
    booze 
    was 
    just 
    dime 
    bottle 
    boy, 

    you 
    couldn't 
    even 
    buy 
    the smell" 

    I said, 
    "I 
    knew 
    there 
    was 
    something 

    liked 
    about 
    this 
    town." 

    But 
    it 
    takes 
    more 
    than 
    that 
    to 
    bring 
    me 
    down, 

    down, 
    down. 

    'Cause 
    there's 
    still 
    lot 
    of 

    wine 
    and 
    lonely 
    girls 

    In 
    this 
    best 
    of 
    all 
    possible 
    worlds 

    Well, 
    they 
    fi
    nally 
    came 
    and 
    told 
    me 

    they 
    was 
    gonna 
    set 
    me 
    free 

    And 
    I'd 
    be 
    leavin' 
    town 
    if 

    knew 
    what 
    was 
    good 
    for 
    me 

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

    so 
    concerned 
    about 
    my 

    health." 

    (They were 
    obsessed 
    with 
    it) 

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

    more 
    quicker 
    than 
    can 

    'Cause 
    I've 
    enjoyed 
    about 
    as 

    much 
    of 
    this 
    as 
    can 
    stand 

    And 
    don't 
    need 
    this 
    town 
    of yours 

    more 
    than 
    never 
    needed 
    nothin' 

    else." 

    'Cause 
    there's 
    still 
    a lot 
    of 
    drink

    s that 
    ain't 
    drunk

    And 
    lots 
    of 
    pretty 
    thoughts 

    that 
    ain't 
    thunk 

    And 
    lord 
    there's 
    still 
    so 

    many 
    lonely 
    girls 

    In 
    this 
    best 
    of 
    all 
    possible 
    worlds.

    • 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.
