    It's 
    cold 
    as 
    a 
    Verse 1

    well 
    in 
    Cincinnati 
    jail 

    I 
    ain't 
    got 
    nobody 
    I 
    ain't 

    got 
    nobody 

    Shouldn't 
    have 
    drunk 
    that 
    wine 

    It 
    messed 
    up 
    my country 
    mind 

    But 
    I 
    didn't 
    know 
    that 

    pretty 
    gal 
    wasn't 
    free 

    Not 
    free 

    And 
    someone 
    called 
    the 
    law 

    And 
    I 
    had 
    a southern 
    drawl 

    The first 
    one 
    they 
    locked 
    up 

    You're 
    right 
    was 
    me 

    Now 
    it's 
    cold 
    as 
    a 
    well 
    in 
    Cincinnati 
    jail 

    I 
    ain't 
    got 
    nobody 
    I 

    ain't 
    got 
    nobody 

    I 
    heard 
    a 
    lot 
    about 
    that 

    great 
    mid 
    western 
    town 

    So 
    I 
    thought 
    I'd 
    better 
    go 
    and 
    look 

    around 
    look 
    around 

    Couldn't 
    find 
    me 
    no 
    job 

    And 
    my 
    kind 
    just 
    don't 
    rob 

    But 
    they 
    don't 
    want 
    no 

    southern 
    bums 
    around 

    And 
    it's 
    cold 
    as 
    well 
    in 
    Cin
    cinnati 
    jail 

    I 
    ain't 
    got 
    nobody 
    I 

    ain't 
    got 
    nobody 

    Lord 
    an 
    Appalachi
    an 
    boy 

    ain't 
    never 
    known 
    much 
    joy 

    But 
    I 
    was 
    better 
    off 
    in 
    my 
    Blueridge 

    Mountain 
    home 
    sweet 
    home 

    I 
    could 
    see 
    the light 
    of 
    day 

    I 
    could 
    while 
    the time 
    away 

    On 
    the 
    mornin' 
    the 
    government 

    gave 
    me 
    to 
    live 
    on 

    Oh 
    it's 
    cold 
    as 
    well 
    in 
    Cincinnati 
    jail 

    I 
    ain't 
    got 
    nobody 

    I 
    ain't 
    got 
    nobody

      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.
