    Verse 1
    was 
    thumbing 

    ride 
    one 
    Saturday 
    morning 

    Out 
    of Nashville 
    toting 
    my 
    sack 

    lent 
    my 
    car 
    to 

    Girl 
    that 
    lived 
    in 
    Chattanooga 

    And 
    she 
    hadn't 
    brought 
    it back 

    She 
    was 
    drinking 
    pretty 
    heavy 
    when 

    let 
    her have 
    it 

    hope 
    she 
    knows 
    it 
    was 
    only 
    loan 

    There's 
    no 
    telling 
    what 
    I might 
    have 

    Told 
    her back 
    at 
    the 
    time 

    But that 
    old 
    car 
    was 
    also 
    my 
    home 

    About 
    five 
    miles 
    out 
    I was 

    Getting 
    kind 
    of tired 

    Sweat
    ing 
    hard 
    and feeling 
    kind 
    of 
    weak 

    woke 
    up 
    with 
    no 
    cigarettes 

    And nothing 
    to drink 

    And 
    hadn't 
    had 
    bite 
    to 
    eat 

    My 
    nerves 
    were 
    so 
    quick 
    I could
    n't 

    Tell 
    where 
    was 
    shaking 

    Then 
    set 
    of brakes 
    sang 
    my 
    song 

    Some 
    fel
    low 
    stuck 
    his 
    head 

    out 
    '57 Chevy 

    And hollered, 
    hey 
    man 
    come 
    on 

    told 
    them 
    was 
    heading 

    down 
    to Chattanooga 

    They 
    said, 
    hop 
    in 
    we're going 
    there 
    too 

    And 
    the 
    way 
    they 
    took 
    off 
    in 
    cloud 
    of smoke 

    still 
    can't 
    believe 
    it 
    was 
    true 

    They 
    had 
    their 
    windows 
    down 
    and 

    Was 
    sitting 
    in 
    the back 

    With 
    my 
    tongue 
    still 
    hung 
    in 
    my 
    throat 

    He 
    was 
    hit
    ting 
    just 
    about 

    a hundred 
    and 
    ten 

    And 
    he said 

    Man 
    what 
    do you 
    think 
    of this 
    boat 

    Well 
    there 
    was 
    two 

    semis struggling 
    up 
    ahead 

    One 
    try
    ing 
    to pass 
    the other 

    They had 
    the whole 
    road 
    blocked 
    so 

    He passed 
    them 
    on 
    the 
    right 

    And 
    let 
    me 
    tell 
    you 
    something 
    brother 

    was 
    so 
    nervous 
    that 

    my teeth 
    was 
    clicking 

    There 
    wasn't 
    any 
    way 

    my 
    head 
    could 
    think 

    Then 
    the 
    one 
    that 
    was 
    sitting 

    On 
    the passenger 
    side 
    turned 
    and said 

    Hey 
    man 
    you want 
    something 
    to drink 

    just 
    shook 
    my 
    head 

    because 
    couldn't 
    talk 

    He 
    said 
    okay 
    and 
    then 
    he 
    said 
    cheers 

    The 
    fools 
    were 
    drinking 
    whiskey 
    and wine 

    And 
    chasing 
    it 
    down 
    with 
    beer

    Well 
    started 
    sweating 

    that 
    old 
    sticky 
    sweat 

    And 
    know 
    was 
    white 
    as 
    sheep 

    Then 
    one 
    turned 
    the radio 
    on 
    wide 
    open 

    And 
    said, 
    hey 
    man 
    check 
    that 
    beat 

    By 
    the 
    time 
    we 
    reached 
    the 
    top 
    of 
    Monteagle 

    thought 
    heard 
    rumbling 
    sound 

    And then 
    I saw 
    a sign 
    that 
    said 
    falling 
    rock 

    And 
    right 
    there 
    was 
    floorboard bound 

    was 
    rolling 
    and squirming 

    On the 
    old 
    floorboard 

    Too 
    weak 
    to 
    sit 
    or stand 

    And then 
    the 
    driver 
    said 
    we're 

    Doing 
    a hundred 
    and 
    twenty 

    Look, 
    here 
    man 
    no 
    hands 

    I got 
    up 
    enough 
    nerve 
    to 

    raise 
    up 
    and 
    look 

    And by 
    now 
    there 
    couldn't 
    be 
    no 
    surprise 

    But 
    his 
    hair 
    was 
    blowing 
    all 
    over 
    my 
    face 

    And 
    dandruff 
    blew 
    in 
    both 
    eyes 

    He 
    never 
    did 
    drive 
    on 
    the right 
    or left 

    He 
    just 
    kep
    on 
    riding 
    that 
    line 

    rubbed 
    my 
    eyes 
    and saw 
    the 

    prettiest 
    thing 

    The Chattanooga 
    city 
    limit 
    sign 

    He slowed 
    down 
    and 
    said 

    Mister, 
    please 
    I'd 
    like 
    to 

    Get 
    off 
    right 
    here 

    He 
    said, 
    aw 
    ride 
    on 
    into 
    town 
    with 
    us 

    We're 
    gonna 
    go 
    down 
    and pick 

    Up 
    some 
    more 
    beer 
    i said, 
    please 

    Once 
    more 
    and 
    he stopped 
    the 
    car 

    And 
    then 
    he 
    handed 
    me 
    my 
    sack 

    Said 
    they'd 
    look 
    for 
    me 
    on 
    the 
    road 
    later 
    on 

    In 
    case 
    I wanted 
    to 
    catch 
    a ride 
    back 

    I got 
    out 
    and sat 
    down 
    by 

    The 
    side 
    of 
    the 
    road 

    Feeling 
    sick 
    and 
    looking 
    mighty 
    pale 

    I don't 
    re
    member 
    anything 

    much 
    after 
    that 

    But 
    next 
    morning 
    I woke 
    up 
    in 
    jail 

    I didn't 
    know 
    anybody 
    in my 
    cell 

    And 
    did
    n't want 
    to ask 
    why 
    was 
    there 

    But 
    they 
    all 
    kept 
    grinning 

    And 
    turning 
    their 
    heads 

    And 
    it was 
    more 
    than my 
    head 
    could 
    bear 

    So 
    called 
    the jailer 
    and 

    Asked 
    him 
    to 
    tell 
    me 

    Why 
    was 
    there 
    if 
    he'd 
    be 
    so 
    kind 

    He 
    said 
    for 
    stopping 
    the 
    traffic 
    while 

    was 
    hugging 
    and 
    kissing

    • 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.
