    Verse 1
    Well 
    them 
    four 
    walls 
    of 
    Raiford, 

    closing 
    in 
    on 
    me 

    Doin' 
    three 
    to 
    five 
    hard 
    labor, 

    for 
    armed 
    robbe
    ry 

    had 
    two 
    years 
    behind 
    me, 

    but 
    could 
    not 
    wait 
    the 
    time 

    Every
    time 
    thought 
    about 
    it, 

    well 
    died 
    some 
    more 
    in
    side 


    Verse 2
    And 
    had 
    stripes 
    on 
    my 
    back, 

    memories 
    that 
    hurt 

    For 
    the 
    only 
    time 
    seen 
    sunshine 

    is 
    when 
    hit 
    the 
    dirt 

    Diggin' 
    ditches 
    for 
    the 
    chain 
    gang, 

    sleepin' 
    in 
    the 
    cold 

    Oh 
    Lord 
    please 
    forgive 
    me 

    for 
    could 
    not 
    wait 
    no 
    more 


    Chorus 1
    And 
    I'm 
    comin' 
    home 
    to 
    see 
    you 
    Jesus 

    Well 
    it 
    feels 
    so 
    close 
    this 
    time 

    Please 
    take 
    mercy 
    on 
    this 
    soldier 

    From 
    the

    find 
    me 
    they 
    must 
    kill 
    me 

    Oh 
    Jesus 
    save 
    my 
    soul 

    can't 
    go 
    back 
    down 
    to 
    Raiford 

    can't 
    take 
    that 
    any

    Interlude 1






    Verse 3
    These 
    last 
    few 
    years 
    behind 
    me 

    Oh 
    Lord, 
    have 
    been 
    so 
    sad 

    fought 
    proudly 
    for 
    my 
    country 

    when 
    the 
    times 
    were 
    bad 

    Now 
    they 
    say 
    I'm 
    guilty, 

    when 
    they 
    find 
    me 
    must 
    die 

    Only

    stole 
    dime

    pretty 
    wife 
    awaitin 

    and 
    two 
    kids

    of 
    America's 
    heroes 

    and 
    when 
    they 
    shoot 
    me 
    down 

    Won't 
    you 
    fly 
    old 
    Glory 
    proudly, 

    put 
    my 
    medals

    the 
    ground

    And 
    I'm 
    comin' 
    home 
    to 
    see 
    you 
    Jesus 

    Well 
    it 
    feels 
    so 
    close 
    this 
    time 

    Please 
    take 
    mercy 
    on 
    this 
    soldier 

    From 
    the 
    Florida-Georgia

    • 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.
