Verse 1
G
I'm talking about
the power of love now.
A
G
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
A
G
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,
A
G
I don't mean to come down on you.
A
G
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.
A
G
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.
A
But one day, one day,
G
old boy got sick and he had to
come home. I don't have
to tell you what he found.
A
G
Oh, it hurt him so bad.
He said,
A
G
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
A
G
seven 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.
A
G
He said, I'm leaving my heart right here.
Oh, I don't want to go,
but I got to leave you, mama.
And he was going down the highway.
I guess it was around 3 .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 I get to
D
Phoenix
Asus4
She'll be rising
A
Asus4
A
G
Oh, and she'll find the note
Asus4
D
I left hangin' on the door

C
A

G
Asus4

And she'll probably stop at lunch just
D
A
D
to give her her sweet good -bye call
G
A
Oh, she'll hear all the fallin',
F#m
keep right on ringin' and ringin' and ringin' and ringin'
Bm
Em
Oh, and ringin' off the wall
C
A
Mama, mama, mama, that's all
Asus4
And by the time I get to
D
Omaha, she'll be sleepin',
F#m
Asus4
D
she'll turn soft and in her restless sleep, call my name out low.
G
A
Oh, then she'll cry, just to think,
F#m
Bm
I, I would really leave her
Em
But time after time after time
Asus4
after time and time again
A
D
I tried to tell her so
G
But she was a non -believer
Em
and she didn't know that
F#
B
F#m
I, I would really go, she didn't
B
F#m
believe I would really go, oh no,
B
F#m
I hate to leave you baby, yes I do, oh
B
I really, really, really hate to go
F#m
Oh yeah
But this part of my heart
B
just can't take no more

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
