    Early 
    one 
    Texas morning 
    in 
    1922 

    Johnny 
    moved 
    west to 
    build him 
    a nest 

    and 
    find 
    things to 
    do 

    People 
    who 
    knew him 
    didn't pursue 
    him, 


    they left 
    him alone. 

    Johnny has 
    gone away, 

    wait for 
    another day, 

    he'll come 
    home. 

    Johnny, 
    told his 
    lady, 
    Mary, 

    I'll 
    see 
    you soon. 

    I'm 
    going away 
    to find 
    a place to 
    stay, 

    I'm gonna 
    dance 
    on the 
    moon. 

    One 
    of these 
    days, 

    when 
    I change my 
    ways, 

    I'll 
    come back 
    here. 

    Though you are 
    lonely, 

    wait for me 
    only, 

    Mary, my 
    dear. 

    She said, 
    Johnny, 
    come 
    back, 

    I'm 
    woman 
    full 
    grown. 

    She said, 
    Johnny, come 
    back, 

    I don't 
    want 
    to be 
    alone 

    Johnny 
    went 
    away and 
    Mary 

    waited 
    as 
    long as 
    she could 

    She 
    tried 
    to make it but 

    she couldn't 
    take it 

    And, 
    Lord, it 
    wasn't 
    any good 

    The 
    men in the 
    town 

    all 
    waited around 

    till 
    Mary passed 
    by 

    Mary 
    decided 
    since 
    love was 
    divided 

    she'd 
    give him a 
    try 

    She said, 
    Johnny, 
    come 
    back, 

    I'm 
    woman 
    full 
    grown 

    She said, 
    Johnny, 
    come 
    back, 

    I don't 
    want 
    to be alone. 

    Every 
    man 
    claimed her, 

    nobody tamed 
    her, 

    no man 
    could. 

    She 
    had 
    the eyes of 
    an angel 

    and a 
    heart that 
    was made of 

    wood. 

    Johnny was 
    gone 

    and 
    the music played 
    on to 
    a different 

    tune 
    while 
    it was 
    playing 

    Mary danced 
    on 
    the moon. 

    She 
    said, 
    Johnny, 
    come 
    back, 

    I'm 
    woman 
    full 
    grown. 

    She 
    said, 
    Johnny, 
    come 
    back, 

    I don't 
    want 
    to be alone. 

    Late 
    in 
    October, 

    the year was 
    1925. 

    Johnny was 
    found on 
    the edge of 
    town, 

    more 
    dead 
    than alive. 

    They 
    carried him 
    down 

    and 
    brought him 
    around to 

    Mary's 
    room. 

    While 
    he was 
    dying, 

    he 
    whispered 
    in Mary, 

    danced 
    on the 
    moon. 

    She said, 
    Johnny, 
    come 
    back, 

    I'm 
    woman 
    fool 
    grown. 

    She 
    said, 
    Johnny, 
    come 
    back, 

    I don't 
    want 
    to be alone 

    She 
    said, 
    Johnny, 
    come 
    back, 

    I'm 
    woman 
    for 
    throne 

    Johnny, 
    come 
    back, 

    I don't 
    want 
    to be alone 

    Early 
    the 
    very next 
    day 

    they 
    lowered his 
    bodygown 

    Mary 
    was 
    dressed in 
    black 

    and 
    the cold wind 

    blew her 
    skirts around 

    Everyone 
    watched 
    her, 

    nobody touched 
    her, 

    and nobody 
    said a 
    word 

    Then, 
    like an angel dressed 
    in 
    white, 

    her 
    voice was 
    heard. 

    She said, 
    Johnny, 
    come 
    back. 

    I'm 
    a woman 
    for 
    a broom. 

    Johnny, 
    come 
    back. 

    I don't 
    want 
    to be alone. 

    She said, 
    Johnny, 
    come 
    back, 

    and we'll 
    play a 
    different 
    tun
    e. 

    She said, 
    Johnny, 
    come 
    back, 

    and we'll 
    dance 
    on 
    the moon. 

    Johnny, 
    come 
    back.

    • 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.
