From Detroit
Verse 1

to

Chicago,

Memphis to

New

Orleans

In the

Mississippi

Delta, living on green beans
C

Had the blues in all these places,

never felt so low down
G

I sing the devil's music as

I go from town to town
D

I can always find a gig,
C
G

but the owners don't always pay
D

Lord knows, I've seen better days
G

When the levees broke and everywhere a flood I
Gdim
G

saw the high water marks, the body counts

and the blood
C

Must be some kind of magic,

somebody cast a

spell
G

Maybe it's the devil come

to collect his doom
D

from hell I'm no stranger to
C
G

witches and their wicked

G

I've had hard nights and

my share of misery

Been locked up a long time
Gdim

but no one to set
G
C

The people with the power,

they're keeping me down
G

Don't want me to rise and join them,
Gdim

afraid of what may be found
G
D

They even burned my guitar,
C
G

they set it ablaze

Lord knows, I've seen better days
G

I'm guilty of lyin'

and cheatin' some too

But all it ever did was make

me feel more blue
C

Times are tough, it's hard to find a job
G

And I'm too proud to beg,

borrow, steal or rob
D

I've slept outside in the snow
C

with nowhere to stay

Don't my share of gamblin'

Can't say I've ever won
Gdim

Had people try to kill me
G

with a knife or a gun

Drunk so many nights,

next day didn't remember a thing
G

Had a lot of women but

never gave one a ring

They say that good things come
C

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.
