    Verse 1
    G

    It was Christmas in prison
    C

    And the food was real good
    G

    We had turkey and pistols
    D

    Carved out of wood
    G

    And I dream of her always
    C

    Even when I don't dream
    G

    Her name's on my tongue
    D
    G

    And her blood's in my stream
    Verse 2

    My sweetheart

    Verse 3
    G

    She reminds me of a chess game
    C

    With someone I admire
    G

    Or a picnic in the rain
    D

    After a prairie fire
    G

    Her heart is as big
    C

    As this whole goddamn jail
    G

    And she's sweeter than saccharine
    D
    G

    At a drug store sale
    Verse 4

    Verse 5
    G

    The search light in the big yard
    C

    Swings round with the gun
    G

    And spotlights the snowflakes
    D

    Like the dust in the sun
    G

    It's Christmas in prison
    C

    There'll be music tonight
    G

    I'll probably get homesick
    D

    I love you

    Goodnight
    G
    Verse 6

    Come to me, now
    G

    We're rolling

    My sweetheart

    • 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.
