    • Verse 1
    (Is 
    it 
    rollin' Jim?) 

    Verse 2
    "Oh, 
    help 
    me 
    in 
    my 
    weakness," 

    I 
    heard 
    the 
    drifter 
    say, 

    As 
    they 
    carried 
    him 
    from 
    the 
    courtroom 

    And 
    were 
    taking 
    him 
    away. 

    "My 
    trip 
    hasn't 
    been 
    a 
    pleasant 
    one 

    And 
    my 
    time 
    it 
    isn't 
    long, 

    And 
    I 
    still 
    do 
    not 
    know 

    What 
    it 
    was 
    that 
    I've 

    Interlude 1
    done 
    wrong." 



    Verse 3
    Well, 
    the 
    judge, 
    he 
    cast 
    his 
    robe 
    aside, 

    A 
    tear 
    came 
    to 
    his 
    eye, 

    "You 
    fail 
    to 
    understand," 
    he 
    said, 

    "Why 
    must 
    you 
    even 
    try?" 

    Outside, 
    the crowd 
    was 
    stirring, 

    You 
    could 
    hear 
    it 
    from 
    the 
    door. 

    Inside, 
    the 
    judge 
    was 
    stepping 
    down, 

    Interlude 2
    While 
    the 
    jury 
    cried 
    for 
    more. 



    Verse 4
    "Oh, 
    stop 
    that 
    cursed 
    jury," 

    Cried 
    the 
    attendant 
    and 
    the 
    nurse, 

    "The 
    trial 
    was 
    bad 
    enough, 

    But 
    this 
    is 
    ten 
    times 
    worse." 

    Just 
    then 
    a 
    bolt 
    of 
    lightning 

    Struck 
    the 
    courthouse 
    out 
    of 
    shape, 

    And 
    while 
    ev'rybody 
    knelt 
    to 
    pray 

    Outro 1
    The 
    drifter 
    did 
    escape.

      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

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
