Verse 1
Am

I was walking through the snow

When I saw a distant glow
G
Am

Of a farmhouse nestled down
F
Am

beneath the trees

With a guitar on my back

I thought it sure can't hurt to ask
G

If I could stay the night
Am
F
Am

And sing a pretty song for free
C

G

I walked up to the house
F
Em
C

And then I knocked hard on the door
G

That old dark piece of wood
F
C

She fell right in there on the floor
Am
Em
G

And as she did a fire burst out on all sides

I wondered what the hell

was going on inside
C
Verse 3

Am

Then the music that I heard

It was bizarre, it was absurd
G
F
Am

Like no banjo fiddle bass I'd ever seen

I stepped into a room of flames

Shook my head and looked again
G
F

It was the kind of company

to make you scream
Am
Verse 4

Em
Am
G

It was a devil's hootenanny
F
C

An old-time fire band
G

A drunken whiskey choir singing
F
C

Round me you understand

And then they said,
Am
Em
G

"We've been searching near and far

For a thing like you to sing
C

and play guitar"
Verse 5
Am

Well I opened up my case

And all the blood rushed to my face
G
F

I sang a fragile note, picked a minor tune
Am

Well those devils yelled and clapped

And all their asses they did slap
G

Before too long we were arm
F

and arm beneath the moon
Am
Verse 6

Em
Am
G

'cause that old house burnt on down

There were cinders on the ground

I snuggled up inside, closed my eyes

I was sleeping sound

With a devil's banjo playing on my knee

  • 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.
