    Verse 1
    (Dolly 
    Parton) 

    In my home 
    town 
    of Blackie, 

    Ken
    tucky 

    He came 
    passin' 
    through 
    one 
    dark, 

    gloomy 
    day 

    And 
    considered 
    myself 
    as 
    lucky 

    When 
    he told 
    me 
    he would 
    take 
    me 
    away 

    And 
    though 
    he was 
    older, 

    it made 
    me no 
    dif
    ference 

    His 
    promise 
    of riches 
    was 
    all 
    I could 
    see 

    At last 
    could 
    leave 
    the 
    coal 

    mines 
    of 
    Kentucky 

    And 
    know 
    something 
    better 

    than sad 
    pover
    ty 

    Verse 2
    Blackie, 
    Kentucky, 

    you 
    know 
    that I'll 
    miss 
    you 

    But 
    there 
    are 
    other 
    places 
    in 

    the world 
    I'd 
    like 
    to see 

    So 
    I must 
    take 
    this 
    chance 
    to 

    be somethin' 
    more 
    than nothin' 

    But I'll 
    al
    ways 
    hold 
    you 
    in my 
    memory 

    Verse 3

    But 
    I've 
    never 
    adjusted 

    to so
    ciable 
    liv
    in' 

    The 
    friends 
    that 
    he knows, 

    they're all 
    strangers 
    to 
    me 

    Thousands 
    of 
    miles 
    from 
    Blackie, 

    Kentucky 

    In a man
    sion 
    with 
    a hus

    band 
    that never 
    loved 
    me 

    Verse 4

    He 
    won't 
    let 
    my 
    family 

    and friends 
    come 
    to 
    visit 

    Be
    cause 
    they 
    are country 
    and 
    poor, 

    he's 
    ashamed 

    Oh, 
    but 
    I'd 
    give 
    my 
    life, 
    Lord, 

    if 
    I could 
    just 
    go 
    see 
    them 

    All 
    that's changed 
    about 

    me 
    is 
    my 
    name 

    Verse 5
    Blackie, 
    Kentucky, 
    oh 
    Lord, 
    how 
    I miss 
    you 

    If 
    could come 
    back 
    home, 

    I'd 
    never 
    leave 
    you 
    any
    more 

    I'd 
    like 
    to see 
    my 
    poor, 
    hardworking, 

    coal- 
    minin' 
    Daddy 

    And Mama, 
    and the kid
    s, 

    and 
    the friend
    s I 
    knew 
    be
    fore 

    Verse 6
    My 
    world 
    is 
    as black 
    as 

    the 
    coal 
    in 
    Ken
    tucky 

    He 
    won't 
    let 
    me 
    leave 
    him 

    - there's 
    no 
    way 
    to win 

    I'll 
    take 
    my 
    own 
    life, 
    dear 
    God, 

    please 
    forgive 
    me 

    But I've 
    got 
    to get 
    back 
    home 

    to Black
    ie once 
    again 

    Verse 7
    An' 
    I've 
    left 
    him a note, 

    in 
    the 
    mornin' 
    he'll 
    find 
    it 

    It's my 
    last 
    re
    quest 
    and 

    he can't 
    refuse 
    me 

    I've told 
    him to 
    bury 
    me 
    back 
    in Blackie, 

    Kentucky 

    Where my 
    family 
    and 
    my friends 

    can 
    come 
    an
    d visit 
    me 

    Verse 8
    Blackie, 
    Kentucky 
    I'm 

    comin' 
    home 
    to 
    you 

    But 
    different 
    from 
    the 
    way 
    you 

    remember 
    me 
    be
    fore 

    So 
    make 
    me 
    a place 
    and 
    I'll 

    lay 
    me down 
    to rest 

    And 
    I'll sleep 
    in your 
    arms 

    forever
    more 

    I'll sleep 
    in your 
    arms 
    forever 
    more

    • 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.
