    Em

    I said goodbye from
    G

    the hospital doorway
    A
    Dm
    Asus4

    Now I'm standing one last time
    Em

    in my mother's room
    G

    This is the beginning of experience
    A
    Em

    Innocence is gone too soon
    G

    I climb in the car with my father
    A

    Wipe my eyes and say goodbye
    Em

    to the South Bay
    G

    We drive all night for West Marin
    A

    He puts his hand on my shoulder,
    G
    Em

    he doesn't know what to say
    D

    We got on the highway together,
    Em

    my daddy and me
    D

    And the road lay out before us
    Em

    like a possibility

    Who would be the daughter?
    G

    Who would be the son?
    A

    How would he improve
    Em

    upon the way he'd seen this?
    D
    G

    Batik sheets thumbtacked to the ceiling
    A

    And cinderblock bookshelves
    Em

    from the lumberyard

    They hold a cup of pens,

    a hawk feather,
    D
    G

    a little leather stash box
    A

    The works of Sam Shepard,
    Em

    the tale of Siddhartha

    Vestatons are magic,
    F#m
    G

    he pulls beauty out of air
    A

    Nights are filled with music
    Em

    and a million friends
    D

    In the worst of times, the bottom's out,
    G

    the landlord's drawn the line
    A

    And we're on the hunt

    for empty boxes,
    C
    Em

    cause we gotta move again
    D

    On the highway together,
    Em

    my daddy and me
    D

    When the bill turns red,
    Em

    you race down to the phone company
    G

    To kill the engine going downhill,

    to save on fuel
    A

    Another set of forms
    Em

    to fill out another new school
    D

    One night on the way home from the city
    Em

    The bug breaks down
    D

    We leave it in a parking lot
    Em

    And race a shopping cart through town
    D

    We'll have to wait till daylight
    G

    to hitch a ride home with a friend
    C
    G

    So we sing Beatles songs together
    Dm
    D
    Em

    Till the night comes to an end

    Now I'm hugging, good to meet you
    G

    To girlfriend 23
    A

    Now a month's gone by
    Em

    And the shelves go up in a room

    She's clear for me

    Now it's coming down to money
    G

    And they're not getting along
    A

    She can't give him the support he needs
    Em

    So once again we're pawned
    D

    On the highway together,
    Em

    my daddy and me
    D

    From where can we live freely
    Em

    To where can we stay for free

    And the open road's potential
    G

    Like a diamond in the rough
    A

    Closed into the path of least resistance
    Em

    At the time I ain't had enough

    Now I've said goodbye
    G

    from the hospital doorway
    A

    And I've stood one last time
    Em

    in my father's room
    G

    Hard as I fought to get away from him
    A
    Em

    Suddenly he's gone too soon

    From their doorways,
    G

    I watch my daughter sleeping
    A

    Safe in the same rooms
    Em

    they've always slept

    They'll tell me what I miss someday
    G

    and I'll try to understand
    A

    Remember every slip of words,
    Em
    G
    A

    you hope for another forward step

    • 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.
