Dsus4

That steel
D

was cold and hard
G

when they slapped him on my wrist
D

Seventeen headed straight to jail,
A

drunk on half a fifth
D

But daddy drove down to the jailhouse
G

Said, I ain't gonna bail you out
D

Between these steel bars

and mama's broken heart
A
G
D

Here's something you can think about
G

He said, an idiot man by

his own two hands
D

Bring a hurricane on himself
G

Got too much pride
A
D
G
D
A
G
D

to lift his eyes up to heaven

I went to my best friend's funeral
G

He left a wife and two young kids
D

I guess his reasons for dyin'
A

Got bigger than his reason to live
D

That preacher's voice faded
G

Into rain and tears that day
D

Until all I heard were my

daddy's words
A
G
D

As we gathered around the grave
G

He said, a minion man by

his own two hands
D

Bring a hurtin' on himself
G

Got too much pride to lift his eyes
A

up to heaven for a little help
D

Now everybody needs forgiveness
G

But even a good man fails
D

The good Lord's building mansions
A
G
D

The devil's just driving nails
G
D

I heard a story about a carpenter
A

And a tear rolled down my face
D

I saw that cross and God's only son
G

With his hands nailed to the wood
D

And I thought of the years

it brought me here
A
G

When I fi nally understood
D
G

How a mini man by his own two hands
D

Bring a hurtin' on himself
G

The greatest gift that a man can give
A

Is dyin' for someone else
D

Now everybody gets forgiveness
G

Cause even a good man fails
D

The good Lord's building mansions
A
G
D

The devil's just driving nails

Yeah, the good Lord's building mansions
A
G
D
Dsus4

The devil's just driving nails

  • 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.
