    • Verse 1
    Well, 
    I 
    was 
    eighteen 
    workin' 

    on 
    a 
    road 
    crew 
    in 
    Georgia 

    And 
    he 
    was 
    a 
    Vietnam 
    vet 
    from Tennessee 

    He 
    held 
    the 
    posts 
    while 

    I 
    drove 
    the 
    hammer 

    Rain 
    or shine, 
    side 
    by 
    side, 

    five 
    days 
    a 
    week 

    And 
    he 
    taught 
    Verse 2
    me 
    the 
    blues 

    And 
    I'd 
    sing 
    for 
    him 
    old 

    Hank 
    Williams 
    tunes 

    And 
    he'd 
    say, 
    "Boy, 

    the 
    only 
    difference 
    between 
    us 

    Is 
    your 
    white 
    an
    d 
    my 
    black 
    Jesus" 

    Verse 3

    Well 
    the pay, 
    it 
    was 
    barely 
    legal 

    And 
    I 
    wasted 
    mine 
    on 
    cigarettes 
    and 
    booze 

    His 
    went 
    to 
    his 
    woman 
    and 
    his 
    chil
    dren 

    And 
    the 
    rest 
    he'd 
    bet 
    on 

    anything 
    that 
    moves 

    Verse 4
    And 
    he 
    taught 
    me 
    the 
    blues 

    And 
    I'd 
    sing 
    for 
    him 
    old 

    Hank 
    Williams 
    tunes 

    And 
    he'd 
    say, 
    "Boy, 

    the 
    only 
    difference 
    between 
    us 

    Is 
    your 
    white 
    and 
    my 
    black 

    Interlude 1
    Jesus" 



    Verse 5
    Well, 
    I 
    awoke 
    last 
    night 
    to 

    the sound 
    of 
    thunder 

    And 
    my 
    mind 
    drifted 
    back 
    to 
    that 
    old 
    man 

    Oh, 
    an
    d I 
    ain't 
    seen 
    him 

    since 
    I 
    left 
    Geor
    gia 

    Oh, 
    but something 
    tells 
    me 

    we'll 
    meet 
    again 

    Verse 6

    And 
    he 
    taught 
    me 
    the 
    blues 

    And 
    I'd 
    sing 
    for 
    him 
    ol' 

    Willie 
    Nelson 
    tunes 

    And 
    he'd 
    say, 
    "Boy, 

    the 
    only 
    difference 
    between 
    us 

    Is 
    your 
    white 
    and 
    my 
    black 
    Jesus" 

    Verse 7

    When 
    we 
    meet 
    again 
    they'll 

    be 
    nothing 
    between 
    us 

    It'll 
    just 
    be 
    him, 
    and 
    me, 

    and 
    Jesus

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
