    Daddy 
    was 
    a 
    drunkard 

    Mama taught 
    for the 

    Lord 

    Granny took 
    me 
    to 

    Sunday school 

    To 
    the church by 
    the side of 
    the road 

    And I'm 
    a -tellin' 
    you 

    My 

    Jesus 
    came 

    From 
    the 

    Golden 

    City 

    To 
    the 
    church by 
    the side of 
    the 
    road 

    This 
    church, 
    it wasn't 
    modern, 

    it 
    was built of 
    log 
    and clay 

    But 
    you could 
    see my 

    Jesus 
    there 
    as we knelt 
    down to 
    pray 

    And 
    I'm a -tellin' 
    you, I'm 

    a -tellin' 
    you, my 

    Jesus 
    came 

    My 

    Jesus 
    came from 
    the 

    Golden 

    City 

    To 
    the 
    church by 
    the side of 
    the 
    road 

    Well, 
    time 
    has came between 
    us 
    and 

    the years 
    have come 
    and gone 

    I'm 
    a leavin' 
    here tomorrow 
    I've 

    been 
    away too 
    long 

    I'm a tellin' 
    you 
    I'm 
    a goin' 
    back 

    To 
    see my 

    Jesus 

    In 
    the 
    church by 
    the side of 
    the 
    road

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
