    yea 

    Black 
    cellophane 
    sky 
    at 
    midnite 

    big 
    blue 
    moon 
    with three 
    gold 
    rings 

    called 
    Champion 
    to 
    the 
    window 

    pointed 
    up 
    above 
    the 
    trees 

    Verse 2
    That's 
    when 
    heard 
    my 

    name 
    in 
    a scream 

    Coming 
    from 
    the 
    woods, 
    out 
    there 

    let 
    my 
    dog 
    run 
    off 
    the 
    chain 

    I locked 
    my 
    door 
    real 

    good 
    with 
    chair

    Verse 4
    Everett 
    Lee 
    broke 
    loose 
    again, 

    It's 
    worse 
    than 
    the time 
    be
    fore 

    Because 
    he's 
    high on 
    potato 

    and 
    tulip 
    wine 

    Fermented 
    in 
    the muddy 
    rain, 
    of 
    course 

    Verse 5
    drunken 
    wail, 
    drunken 
    train 

    Blew 
    through 
    the 
    birdless 
    trees 

    Oh, 
    you're 
    alone 
    alright 

    You're 
    alone

    did

    Verse 7
    An 
    old 
    black 
    tree, 

    scratching 
    up 
    the sky 

    With 
    boney, 
    claw 
    like 
    fingers 

    A rusty 
    black 
    rake 

    Digging 
    up 
    the 
    turnips 
    of 
    muddy 

    cold 
    grey 
    sky 

    Verse 8
    Shiny 
    tooth 
    talons 

    Coiled 
    for 
    grabbing 
    a stranger 

    happening 
    by 

    And 
    the 
    day 
    went 
    home 
    early 

    And 
    the sun 
    sank 
    down 
    into 
    the 
    muck 

    of 
    a deep 
    dead 
    sky

    Verse 10
    since 

    Saginaw 
    Calinda was 
    born, 

    It's 
    been 
    cotton 
    and 

    soya
    beans, tobacco 
    and 
    corn 

    Behind 
    the 
    porticoed 
    house 

    of 
    long 
    dead 
    farm 

    They 
    found 
    the falling 
    down 
    timbers 

    Of

    old 
    barn 

    Out 
    Verse 11
    there 
    like 
    a slave 
    ship 

    upside 
    down 

    Wrecked 
    beneath 
    the 
    waves 
    of 
    grain 

    When 
    the 
    river 
    is 
    low 

    They 
    find 
    old 
    bones 
    and

    plow 
    they 
    always 
    dig 

    up 
    chain

    • 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.
