  • Verse 1
    I'm 
    talking 
    about 

    the power 
    of love 
    now. 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    tell you what 
    love can 
    do. 

    You 
    know when they 
    say love makes 

    the world 
    go round. 

    That's 
    the truth. 

    Now 
    I want your imagination. 

    I want 
    you to travel 
    with 
    me. 

    Oh, 
    come 
    on, 
    come 
    on, 
    come on. 

    This 
    young 
    man 
    was 
    raised 

    in 
    the 
    hills of 

    Tennessee. 

    When 
    he reached 
    the 
    age 
    of maturity, 

    he 
    moved 
    to the 
    west coast, 
    and 
    he fell in 
    love when 

    he got out 
    there, 
    to 
    this young 
    girl, 
    and 
    then the 
    inevitable, 

    became 
    engaged 
    and 
    they 

    were married, 
    oh, 

    the 
    power of 
    love 
    was 
    upon 
    him. 

    But 
    you see 
    girls, 

    I don't mean to 
    come down 
    on you. 

    But 
    this 
    man loved 
    this 
    woman 
    so he 

    could 
    see no 
    wrong, 
    no, 
    no, 
    no. 

    He 
    spent his 
    last dime 
    on 

    the woman because 
    he loved 
    her. 

    You 
    know girls, 
    you can take 
    love 
    and 
    kindness 
    sometimes 
    for weakness, 

    and she took 
    it for 

    granted 
    and 
    she 
    tipped out 

    on it. 

    She said, ain't nobody 
    gonna believe 

    what you tell 
    them, no way. 

    Fool. 

    Oh yeah 
    girls, 
    you do like that 
    sometimes. 

    But 
    one 
    day, 
    one 
    day, 

    old 
    boy got 
    sick 
    and 
    he had to 

    come home. 
    don't have 

    to tell you what 
    he found. 

    Oh, 
    it 
    hurt 
    him so bad. 

    He said, 

    baby, 
    mama, 
    why? 

    That's all 
    he could say. 

    But 
    she said, oh, 
    gone 
    fool, 

    you doing 
    it. 

    But the man 
    wasn't doing 
    it, but that's 

    the only excuse 
    she could 
    give him. 

    He 
    said, 

    mama 
    I can't 
    take it I got 
    to leave 
    you I'm 

    gonna leave 
    you well 
    she 
    tried to 

    straighten up she 
    said she was 

    gonna straighten 
    up she 
    got a little 
    job to 

    have it 
    my way with the 
    bills too 

    but 
    that was 
    just a sham 

    because 
    he 
    found it 
    again 
    and 
    again and 

    sev
    en 
    times 
    he 
    left this 
    woman 
    and 

    seven 
    times 
    he came 
    back 
    and 
    he had 

    taken all that 
    he could stand 
    and 
    the 

    Eight 
    times 
    that this went 
    down, 
    he said, 

    mama, 
    I got to 
    go. 

    He 
    said, I'm leaving 
    my heart 
    right here. 

    Oh, 
    don't 
    want to go, 

    but I 
    got to 
    leave 
    you, 
    mama. 

    And 
    he was going 
    down the 
    highway. 

    guess it was around 
    .30 in the 
    morning. 

    He 
    could hardly 
    see 
    the road, 

    the tears 
    in his 
    eyes. 

    He 
    could 
    barely 
    see the 
    sign 
    and read 
    on the 
    side of the road, 

    the 
    next town 
    125 
    miles 
    away. 

    And 
    these very 
    words 
    came 
    into his 
    mind. 

    He 
    said, 

    By 
    the 
    time 
    get to 

    Phoenix 

    She'll 
    be rising 

    Oh, 
    and 
    she'll 
    find 
    the 
    note 

    left 
    hangin' 
    on the door 

    She'll 
    laugh 
    when 

    she leaves 
    the park 

    That 
    says 
    I'm leaving, 

    she'll 
    wonder 
    why 

    Cause 
    I've 
    loved 
    that 
    girl 
    so 

    many 
    times 
    before 

    Oh, 
    by 
    the time 

    make 
    the 
    cookie 

    She'll 
    be workin' 

    And 
    she'll 
    probably 
    stop 
    at 
    lunch just 

    to give 
    her 
    her 
    sweet 
    good -bye 
    call 

    Oh, 
    she'll 
    hear 
    all 
    the 
    fallin', 

    keep 
    right 
    on 
    ringin' 
    and 
    ringin' 
    and ringin' 
    and 
    ringin' 

    Oh, 
    and ringin' 
    off 
    the wall 

    Mama, 
    mama, 
    mama, 
    that's 
    all 

    And 
    by 
    the 
    time 
    get 
    to 

    Omaha, 
    she'll 
    be sleep
    in', 

    she'll 
    turn 
    soft 
    and in 
    her restless 
    sleep, 
    call 
    my 
    name 
    out 
    low. 

    Oh, 
    then she'll 
    cry, 
    just 
    to think, 

    I, 
    would really 
    leave 
    her 

    But 
    time 
    after time 
    after 
    time 

    after 
    time 
    and time 
    again 

    tried 
    to 
    tell 
    her 
    so 

    But 
    she 
    was a 
    non -believer 

    and 
    she didn't 
    know 
    that 

    I, 
    would really 
    go, 
    she 
    didn't 

    believe I 
    would really 
    go, 
    oh 
    no, 

    hate 
    to leave 
    you baby, 
    yes 
    do, 
    oh 

    really, 
    really, 
    really 
    hate to 
    go 

    Oh 
    yeah 

    But 
    this 
    part 
    of my 
    heart 

    just 
    can
    't 
    take no 
    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

      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 🙂

      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.
