    Verse 1
    When 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    young 

    man 
    I 
    played 
    my 
    guitar 

    I 
    played 
    for 
    the 
    people 
    in 

    Black 
    Jack's 
    Bar 

    They 
    danced 
    to 
    the 
    music 

    and 
    called 
    me 
    a star 

    And 
    I took 
    in 
    the 
    money 
    in 
    Black 
    Jack's 
    Bar 

    I 
    kept 
    things 
    a 
    movin' 
    with 
    a crazy 
    beat 

    I 
    kept 
    up 
    a 
    rhythm 
    with 
    my two 
    big 
    feet 

    I 
    played 
    pretty 
    women 
    like 

    I 
    played 
    my 
    guitar 

    And 
    I 
    got 
    into 
    trouble 
    in 
    Black 
    Jack's 
    Bar 

    got 
    into 
    trouble 
    in 
    Black 
    Jack's 
    Bar 

    One 
    night 
    I played 
    till 
    my 

    fingers 
    were 
    sore 

    They 
    called 
    for 
    a 
    break 
    and 
    I 

    stepped 
    through 
    the 
    door 

    I stood 
    there 
    a 
    lookin' 
    at 

    the 
    heaven 
    so 
    grand 

    When 
    up 
    stepped 
    a 
    woman 

    with 
    a 
    bottle 
    in 
    her 
    hand 

    She 
    took 
    one 
    swallow 
    and 
    I 
    saw 
    her 
    frown 

    I 
    turned 
    up 
    the 
    bottle 
    and 
    I 
    guzzled 
    it 
    down 

    I 
    battled 
    my 
    eyes 
    and 
    I 

    looked 
    at 
    her charms 

    The 
    next 
    thing 
    I 
    knew 
    she 
    was 
    in 
    my 
    arms 
    I 
    got 

    into 
    trouble 
    in 
    Black 
    Jack's 
    Bar 

    [ fiddle 

    ] 

    I hugged 
    her 
    and 
    kissed 
    her 

    and 
    called 
    her 
    mine 

    Drunk 
    on 
    her 
    kisses 
    and 
    drunk 

    on 
    her 
    wine 

    Somebody 
    yelled 
    come 

    and 
    play 
    your 
    guitar 

    We 
    both 
    stuggered back 
    into 

    Black 
    Jack's 
    Bar 

    Somebody 
    said 
    you 
    better 

    run 
    for 
    your 
    life 

    You've 
    been 
    a playin' 
    with 

    the 
    wrong 
    man's 
    wife 

    He 
    swang 
    his 
    knife 
    and 
    swung 
    my 
    guitar 

    And 
    I killed 
    me 
    a 
    gambler 
    in Black 
    Jack's 
    Bar 

    I 
    got 
    in 
    trouble 
    in 
    Black 
    Jack's 
    Bar 

    When 
    I 
    get 
    out 
    of 
    this 
    place 
    called 
    the 
    pen 
    I 

    ain't 
    never 
    comin' 
    back 
    here 
    again 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    do 
    right 
    and 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    go 
    straight 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    be 
    careful 
    whose 
    wife 
    I 
    date 

    I 
    ain't

    my cell 
    with 
    my old

    Jack's 
    Bar) wonder 

    who's

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
