    From 
    Detroit 
    Verse 1

    to 

    Chicago, 

    Memphis 
    to 

    New 

    Orleans 

    In 
    the 

    Mississippi 

    Delta, 
    living 
    on green 
    beans 

    Had 
    the 
    blues 
    in 
    all 
    these places, 

    never 
    felt 
    so 
    low 
    down 

    sing 
    the 
    devil's 
    music 
    as 

    go from 
    town 
    to 
    town 

    can 
    always 
    find 
    gig, 

    but 
    the 
    owners 
    don't 
    always 
    pay 

    Lord 
    knows, 
    I've 
    seen 
    better 
    days 

    When 
    the 
    levees 
    broke 
    and 
    everywhere 
    a flood 

    saw 
    the 
    high 
    water 
    marks, 
    the body 
    counts 

    and 
    the blood 

    Must 
    be some 
    kind 
    of magic, 

    somebody 
    cast 

    spell 

    May
    be 
    it's 
    the 
    devil 
    come 

    to 
    collect 
    his 
    doom 

    from 
    hell 
    I'm 
    no stranger 
    to 

    witches 
    and 
    their 
    wicked 

    God 
    knows 
    I've 
    seen 
    better 
    days 





    I've 
    had 
    hard 
    nights 
    and 

    my 
    share 
    of 
    misery 

    Been 
    locked 
    up 
    long 
    time 

    but 
    no 
    one 
    to set 

    The 
    people 
    with 
    the 
    power, 

    they're 
    keeping 
    me 
    down 

    Don't 
    want 
    me 
    to 
    rise 
    and join 
    them, 

    afraid 
    of 
    what 
    may be 
    found 

    They 
    even 
    burned 
    my 
    guitar, 

    they set 
    it 
    ablaze 

    Lord 
    knows, 
    I've 
    seen 
    better 
    days 

    I'm 
    guilty 
    of 
    lyin' 

    and cheatin' 
    some 
    too 

    But 
    all 
    it ever 
    did 
    was 
    make 

    me feel 
    more 
    blue 

    Times 
    are 
    tough, 
    it's 
    hard to 
    find 
    job 

    And 
    I'm too 
    proud 
    to 
    beg, 

    borrow, 
    steal 
    or 
    rob 

    I've 
    slept outside 
    in the 
    snow 

    with 
    nowhere 
    to 
    stay 

    Lord 
    knows 
    I've 
    seen 
    better 
    days 





    Don't 
    my 
    share 
    of 
    gamblin' 

    Can't 
    say I've 
    ever 
    won 

    Had 
    people 
    try 
    to kill 
    me 

    with 
    knife 
    or 
    gun 

    Drunk 
    so many 
    nights, 

    next 
    day 
    didn't 
    remember 
    thing 

    Had 
    lot 
    of women 
    but 

    never 
    gave 
    one 
    ring 

    They 
    say 
    that 
    good 
    things 
    come 

    to people 
    who 
    pray 

    Lord 
    help 
    me, 
    I've 
    seen 
    better 
    days

    • 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.
