    Verse 1
    Cherokee 
    Louise 
    is 

    hiding 
    in this 
    tunnel 

    In the 
    Broadway 
    bridge 

    We're 
    crawling 
    on our 
    knees 

    We've got 
    flashlights 

    and 
    batteries 

    We've got 
    cold 
    cuts 
    from the 
    fridge 

    Last 
    Verse 2
    year, 
    about this 
    time 

    We 
    used to 
    climb 
    up in the 
    branches 

    Just 
    to 
    sway 
    there 
    in some 
    breeze 

    Now the 
    cops 
    on 
    the street 

    They 
    want 
    Cherokee 
    Louise 

    Verse 3

    People 
    like to 
    talk 

    Tongues 
    are waggin' 
    over 
    fences 

    Waggin' 
    over 
    phones 

    Cherokee 
    Louise 

    All 
    their doors 
    are locked 

    God, 
    she can't 
    even 
    come to 
    our 
    house 

    But 
    I know 
    where she'll 
    go 

    Cherokee 
    Louise 

    Verse 4
    To the 
    place 
    where 
    you can 
    stand 

    And 
    press your 
    hands 
    like 

    it was 
    bubble 
    bath 

    In 
    dust 
    piled 
    high 
    as 
    me 

    Down 
    under 
    the street 

    My 
    friend 

    Poor 
    Cherokee 
    Louise 


    Verse 5
    Ever 
    since we 
    turned 
    thirteen 

    It's 
    like 
    a minefield 

    Walking 
    to the 
    door 

    Going 
    out you 
    get the 

    third degree 

    And comin' 
    in 
    you 
    get 
    the 

    Verse 6
    third 
    world 
    war 


    Tuesday 
    after 
    school 

    We 
    put our 
    pennies 
    on the 
    rails 

    And when 
    the 
    train 
    went 
    by 

    Cherokee 
    Louise 

    We were 
    jumpin' 
    round like 
    fools 

    Goin', 
    "look no 
    heads 
    or tails" 

    Goin', 
    "look 
    my 
    lucky 
    prize" 

    Cherokee 
    Louise 

    Verse 7
    She runs 
    home 
    to her 
    foster 
    dad 

    He 
    opens 
    up 
    a zipper 

    And he 
    yanks 
    her 
    to 
    her 
    knees 

    Oh, please 
    be 
    here, please 

    My 
    friend 

    Poor 
    Cherokee 
    Louise

    • 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.
