    Everyone 
    considered 
    him 
    the 

    coward 
    of 
    the county 

    He'd 
    never 
    stood 
    one 
    single 
    time 

    to 
    prove 
    the 
    county 
    wrong 

    His 
    mama 
    named 
    him 

    Tommy 
    but 
    folks 
    just 
    called 
    him 

    Yellow 

    Something 
    always 
    told 
    me 

    they 
    were 
    reading 

    Tommy 
    wrong 

    He 
    was 
    only 
    ten 
    years 
    old 
    when 

    his daddy 
    died 
    in 
    prison 

    looked 
    after 

    Tommy 
    cause 
    he 
    was 
    my brother's 
    son 

    still 
    recall 
    the 
    final 
    words 

    my 
    brother 
    said 
    to 

    Tommy 

    Son, 
    my 
    life 
    is over, 

    but 
    yours 
    has 
    just 
    begun

    Promise 
    me, 
    son, 

    not 
    to do 
    the things 
    I've 
    done 

    Walk 
    away 
    from 
    trouble 
    if 
    you can 

    It 
    won't 
    mean 
    you're 
    weak 

    if 
    you turn 
    the 
    other 
    cheek 

    hope 
    you're 
    old 
    enough 

    to 
    under
    stand 

    Son, 
    you don't 
    have 
    to fight 

    to 
    be 
    man 

    There's 
    someone 
    for 
    everyone 

    And 

    Tommy's 
    love 
    was 

    Becky 

    In 
    her 
    arms 
    he 
    didn't 
    have 

    to 
    prove 
    he 
    was 
    man 

    One 
    day 
    while 
    he 
    was workin' 

    The 

    Gatlin 
    boys 
    came 
    callin' 

    They 
    took 
    turns 
    at 

    Becky 
    an
    there 
    was 
    three of 
    them 

    Tommy 
    opened 
    up 
    the 
    door 
    and 
    saw 
    his 

    Becky 
    cry
    ing 

    The 
    torn 
    dress, 
    the shattered 
    look 

    was 
    more 
    than 
    he 
    could 
    stand 

    He 
    reached 
    above 
    the 
    fireplace 
    and 

    took 
    down 
    his 
    daddy's 
    pic
    ture 

    As 
    his 
    tears 
    fell 
    on 
    his daddy's 
    face, 

    he 
    heard 
    these 
    words 
    again 

    Promise 
    me, 

    not 
    to do 
    the 
    things 
    I've 
    done 

    Walk 
    away 
    from 
    trouble 
    if 
    you can

    Now 
    it won't 
    mean 
    you're weak 

    if 
    you turn 
    the 
    other 
    cheek 

    hope 
    you're 
    old 
    enough 

    to under
    stand 

    Son, 
    you don't 
    have 
    to fight 
    to 
    be 
    a man 

    The 
    gatlin' 
    boys 
    just 
    laughed 
    at him 

    When 
    he walked 
    into 
    the 
    bar 
    room 

    One 
    of 
    them got 
    up 
    and 
    met 

    him halfway 
    across 
    the 
    floor 

    When 

    Tommy 
    turned 
    around 
    they 
    said 

    Hey, 
    look, 
    old 
    yellow's 
    leavin' 

    But 
    you 
    could have heard 
    pin drop 

    When 

    Tommy 
    stopped 
    and 
    locked the 
    door 

    Twenty 
    years 
    of crawlin' 

    Was 
    bottled 
    up 
    inside 
    him 

    He 
    wasn't 
    holdin' 
    nothin' 
    back 

    He 
    let 
    him 
    have 
    it 
    all 

    When 

    Tommy 
    left 
    the 
    bar 
    room 

    Not 

    Gatlin' 
    boy 
    was standin' 

    He 
    said, 
    this one's 
    for 

    Becky 

    As 
    he 
    watched 
    the 
    last 
    one 
    fall 

    And 
    heard him 
    say, 

    I promised 
    your dad 
    not 
    to do 
    the 
    things 
    you've 
    done 

    I'll 
    walk 
    away 
    from 
    trouble 

    when 
    can

    Now 
    please 
    don't 
    think 
    I'm weak, 

    didn't 
    turn 
    the 
    other 
    cheek 

    And 

    Papa, 
    sure 
    hope 
    you 
    under
    stand 

    Sometimes 
    you 
    gotta 
    fight 

    when 
    you're 
    man 

    Everyone 
    considered 
    him 

    the 
    coward 
    of 
    the 
    county.

    • 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.
