To remember the times when
I was your only man

she knows this car would go out of control

he'll be back in a little while

But she changed the subject

every time money came up

are getting pretty corrupt

'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat
C
covers fade and the water moccasin dies
Am
Ruby just smiled and said,
D
G
ah, you know some babies never learn
Verse 11

Something about that movie though,
C
well I just can't get it out of my head
Am
But I can't remember why I was in it
D

or what part I was supposed to play

Well, they were looking for somebody
C
with a pompadour
Am
I was crossin' the street
D

when shots rang out
I didn't know whether to

Am
We got him cornered in the churchyard,
D
G
I heard somebody shout
Verse 14
G
Well, you saw my picture in the
Corpus Christi Tribune
C
Underneath it, it said, a man with no alibi
Am
You went out on a limb to testify for me,
D

you said I was with you
Then when I saw you break down in
C
front of the judge and cry real tears
Am
C
D
It was the be st acting I saw anybody do
Verse 15
G
Now I've always been the kind of person
that doesn't like to trespass
C
But sometimes you just find
yourself over the line
Oh if there's an original thought out there,
D
G
I could use it right now
You know, I feel pretty good, but that
ain't sayin' much
C
I could feel a whole lot better
If you were just here by my
D
C
G
side to show me how
Verse 16
G
Well, I'm standin' in line in the rain to see
C
a movie starring Gregory Peck

Verse 18
G
You know, it's funny how things never turn
C
out the way you had 'em planned
The only thing we knew for
D
sure about Henry Porter
G
Is that his name wasn't Henry Porter
C
G
And you know there was somethin'
about you baby
That I liked that was always
C
too good for this world
Am
Just like you always said there was
something about me you liked
D
That I left behind in the
French Quarter
G
Verse 19
Strange how people who suffer together
have stronger connections
C
Than people who are most content
Am
I don't have any regrets,
C
D
G
they can talk about me plenty when I'm gone
You always said people don't
do what they believe in
C
They just do what's most convenient,
then they repent
Am
C
And I always said, hang on to me, baby,
D
G
and let's hope that the roof stays on

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

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.”
