    Verse 1
    Rose 
    lived 

    on 
    the south 
    side 
    of 
    town 

    Un
    til her 
    landlord 
    showed 
    up 

    with 
    two 
    hundred 
    dollar 
    bills 

    A 
    notice 
    of 
    eviction 
    on 
    the 
    other 
    hand 

    Now 
    she don't 
    live 
    there 
    no 
    more 

    And every
    one 
    thinks 
    he 
    drowned 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    I 
    pulled 
    into 
    Mecklenburg 

    on 
    them 
    trains 

    Into 
    a 
    sta
    tion 
    that 
    got 
    flooded 

    when they 
    opened 
    up 
    the dam 

    And 
    broke 
    their 
    connec

    tions 
    to 
    the 
    railway 
    lines 

    So 
    they could 
    blast 
    into 
    the 
    quarry 

    And 
    for 
    every 
    load 
    of 
    granite 

    We 
    got 
    a 
    ton 
    of 
    worry 

    Verse 3

    One 
    night 
    at 
    the diner 
    over 
    eggs 

    Over 
    easy 
    she 
    showed 
    me 

    the length 
    of 
    her 
    legs 

    But 
    that 
    gold 
    plated 
    cross 
    on 
    her neck
    , 

    it 
    was 
    real 

    And you don't 
    get 
    that 
    kind 

    of money 
    from 
    pushing 
    meal 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 4
    I 
    should've 
    told 
    him 
    that 

    you 
    were the 
    one 
    for 
    me 

    But 
    I lied, 
    but I 
    lied 

    To 
    most 
    any 
    drifter 
    whose 

    looking 
    for 
    work 
    is 
    too 
    weird 

    I 
    met 
    your 
    sister 
    and 
    I 

    married 
    her 
    in 
    Ju
    ly 

    But if 
    only 
    to 
    be 
    closer 
    to you, 

    Car
    oline

    and 
    I

    Until 
    we 
    lost 
    two 
    pretty 
    girls 

    One 
    was seven 
    and

    the 
    house 
    right 
    up 
    the 
    hill 

    Where 
    we laid 
    those 
    babies 
    down 

    So 
    they could 
    still 
    see 
    our 
    house

    Verse 6

    Sus
    picion 
    got

    an auto 
    parts 
    store

    interstate 

    But the 
    lord 
    took 
    him 
    home 
    in 
    Ju
    ly 

    And then 
    Rose 
    spilled 
    the beans 

    on 
    the 
    day

    were the one 
    for 
    me 

    But 
    I lied, 
    but 
    I lied 

    Tied 
    up 
    to 
    concrete 
    at 
    the 

    bottom 
    of 
    the 
    quarry

    With 
    a tattoo 
    on 
    his 
    heart 
    that 

    spelled 
    out 
    "Caroline" 

    He was 
    si
    lent 
    but his 
    rosary 

    Well, 
    it drifted 
    into 
    the cus

    hall 

    When two 
    guys 
    came 
    up
    , 

    pretty 
    angry 
    and drunk 

    And 
    I'm 
    still 
    here 
    at 
    the 
    banquet 
    hall 

    At 
    the 
    banquet 
    hall 

    Where 
    the 
    gun 
    went 
    off 
    in

      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.
