    Verse 1
    "Help 
    me 
    in 
    my 
    weakness" 

    I 
    heard 
    the drifter 
    say 

    As 
    they 
    carried 
    him 
    from 
    the 
    courtroom 

    Verse 2
    And 
    were 
    taking 
    him 
    away 


    "My 
    trip 
    hasn't 
    been 
    a 
    pleasant 
    one 

    My 
    time 
    it 
    isn't 
    long 

    And 
    I 
    still 
    do 
    not 
    know 

    Verse 3
    What 
    it 
    was 
    that 
    I've 
    done 
    wrong" 


    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?" 

    Verse 4
    Outside, 
    the 
    crowd 
    was 
    stirring 

    You 
    could 
    hear 
    it 
    from 
    the 
    door 

    Inside, 
    the 
    judge 
    was 
    stepping 
    down 

    Interlude 1
    While 
    the 
    jury 
    cried 
    for more 


    Verse 5
    "Oh, 
    stop 
    that 
    cursed 
    jury" 

    Cried 
    the attendant 
    and 
    the nurse 

    The trial 
    was 
    bad 
    enough 

    But 
    this 
    is 
    ten 
    times 
    worse 

    Verse 6
    Just 
    then 
    a 
    bolt 
    of 
    lightning 

    Struck 
    the 
    courthouse 
    out 
    of 
    shape 

    And 
    while 
    everybody 
    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

      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.”
