    Verse 1
    can't 
    stay 
    much 
    longer, 
    Melinda 

    The 
    sun 
    is 
    getting 
    high 

    can't 
    help 
    you 
    with 
    your 
    troubles 

    If 
    you 
    won't 
    help 
    with 
    mine 

    gotta 
    get 
    down 

    gotta 
    get 
    down 

    Gotta 
    get 
    down 
    to, 
    to 
    the 
    mine 

    Verse 2
    You 
    keep 
    me 
    up 
    just 
    one 
    more 
    night 

    can't 
    stop 
    here 
    no 
    more 

    Little 
    Ben 
    clock 
    says 
    quarter 
    to 
    eight 

    You 
    kept 
    me 
    up 
    till 
    four 

    gotta 
    get 
    down 

    gotta 
    get 
    down 

    Or 
    can't 
    work 
    there 
    no 
    more 

    Solo 1



    Verse 3
    lotta 
    poor 
    man 
    make 
    five 
    dollar 
    bill 

    Will 
    keep 
    him 
    happy 
    all 
    the 
    time 

    Some 
    other 
    fellow's 
    making 
    nothing 
    at 
    all 

    Bridge 1
    And 
    you 
    can 
    hear 
    him 
    cry 

    "Can 
    go, 
    buddy, 
    can 
    go 
    down 

    Take 
    your 
    shift 
    at 
    the 
    mine?" 

    Gotta 
    get 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    Cumberland 
    mine 

    Gotta 
    get 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    Cumberland 
    mine 

    That's 
    where 
    mainly 
    spend 
    my 
    time 

    Make 
    good 
    money, 
    five 
    dollars 
    day 

    Made 
    any
    more, 
    might 
    move 
    away 


    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    Lotta 
    poor 
    man 
    got 
    the 
    Cumberland 
    Blues 

    He 
    can't 
    win 
    for 
    losing 

    Lotta 
    poor 
    man 
    got 
    to 
    walk 
    the 
    line 

    Just 
    to 
    pay 
    his 
    union 
    dues 

    Outro 1
    don't 
    know 
    now, 
    just 
    don't 
    know 

    If 
    I'm 
    coming 
    back 
    a
    gain 

    don't 
    know 
    now, 
    just 
    don't 
    know 

    If 
    I'm 
    coming 
    back 
    a
    gain 

    don't 
    know 
    now, 
    just 
    don't 
    know 

    If 
    I'm 
    coming 
    back 
    a
    gain

    • 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.
