    Verse 1
    Seen 
    the 
    arrow 
    on 
    the 
    doorpost 

    Saying, 
    “This 
    land 
    is 
    con
    demned 

    All 
    the 
    way 
    from 
    New 
    Or
    leans 

    To 
    Je
    rusa
    lem 

    I 
    traveled 
    through 
    East 
    Tex
    as 

    Where 
    many 
    martyrs 
    fell 

    And 
    I 
    know 
    no 
    one 
    can 
    sing 
    the 
    blues 

    Like 
    Blind 
    Willie 
    McTell 

    Verse 2
    Well, 
    I 
    heard 
    that 
    hoot 
    owl 
    singing 

    As 
    they 
    were 
    taking 
    down 
    the 
    tents 

    The 
    stars 
    above 
    the 
    barren 
    trees 

    Were 
    his 
    only 
    audience 

    Them 
    char
    coal 
    gypsy 
    maid
    ens 

    Can 
    strut 
    their 
    feathers 
    well 

    But 
    nobod
    y 
    can 
    sing 
    the 
    blues 

    Like 
    Blind 
    Willie 
    McTell 

    Verse 3
    Seen 
    them 
    big 
    plantations 
    burning 

    Hear 
    the 
    cracking 
    of 
    the 
    whips 

    Smell 
    that 
    sweet 
    magnolia 
    blooming 

    See 
    the 
    ghost 
    of 
    slavery 
    ships 

    I 
    can 
    hear 
    them 
    tribes 
    moan
    ing 

    Hear 
    that 
    undertaker's 
    bell 

    No
    body 
    can 
    sing 
    the 
    blues 

    Like 
    Blind 
    Willie 
    Mc
    Tell 

    Verse 4
    There’s 
    a 
    woman 
    by 
    the 
    riv
    er 

    With 
    some 
    fine 
    young 
    handsome 
    man 

    He’s 
    dressed 
    up 
    like 
    a 
    squire 

    Bootlegged 
    whiskey 
    in 
    his 
    hand 

    There's 
    a 
    chain 
    gang 
    on 
    the 
    high
    way 

    I 
    can 
    hear 
    them 
    rebels 
    yell 

    And 
    I 
    know 
    no 
    one 
    can 
    sing 
    the 
    blues 

    Like 
    Blind 
    Willie 
    Mc
    Tell 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 5
    Well, 
    God 
    is 
    in 
    His 
    heaven 

    And 
    we 
    all 
    want 
    what’s 
    His 

    But 
    power 
    and 
    greed 
    and 
    cor
    ruptible 
    seed 

    Seem 
    to 
    be 
    all 
    that 
    there 
    is 

    I’m 
    gazing 
    out 
    the 
    window 

    Of 
    the 
    St. 
    James 
    Hotel 

    And 
    I 
    know 
    no 
    one 
    can 
    sing 
    the 
    blues 

    Like 
    Blind 
    Willie 
    Mc
    Tell

      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.
