  • Verse 1
    Standin' 
    by 
    cotton 

    field 
    a little 
    north 
    of 
    Bakersfield 

    Valley 
    heat 
    and dust 

    likin' 
    to choke 
    me 

    Tryin' 
    hard 
    to 
    thum
    b a 
    ride 

    holdin' 
    up my 
    weary 
    pride 

    I'm 
    just 
    a homesick 
    California 
    Okie 

    Well just 
    to keep 
    from 
    gettin'

    kit
    chen 

    And every

    and tell 
    my
    self 
    that 

    Can't 
    get 
    back 
    home 
    nor 

    anywhere's 
    by

    Verse 3
    And I 
    wish 
    I'd 
    never 
    left 
    old 
    Oklaho
    ma 

    never 
    had 
    no 
    money 

    but

    a wife 

    She 
    begged 
    me 
    not 
    to leave 

    old 
    Ok

    For 
    guy 
    like 
    me 
    to be 

    in broke

    'Cause if 
    a cop 
    should 
    happen 
    by 

    ten to 
    one 
    he'd stop 
    and 

    Ain't 
    in 
    no mood 
    to 
    do no 

    fancy 
    talk
    in' 

    I reckon 
    I'd 
    be 
    out
    ta state 
    but only 

    if 
    I'd caught 
    freight 

    Back 
    in 
    Bakersfield 
    but 
    somethin' 

    wouldn't 
    let me 

    Well if you 
    believe 
    in 
    Okie's God 

    give 
    this country 
    boy 
    a nod 

    Or 
    send 
    some 
    kinda 
    An

    gel 
    here 
    to get 
    me

    • 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.
