When Johnny got the letter
C
G

It had no return address

And he didn't have to guess

And the postmark said Seattle
C

Just a thousand miles away
D

And so he put it in the drawer
G

For fourteen days
Verse 2
G

Every night he'd take that envelope
C
G

Hold it up to the light
D

But he never tore it open

to see what lay inside
G

He remembered how it hurt
C
G

The night she turned and walked away
D

So he kept the letter sealed
G

For fourteen days
Verse 3
C

Fourteen days it lay unopened
G

Fourteen days it stayed unread

Fourteen nights he dreamed about her
D

In what used to be their bed

Though his heart and soul

were achin'

Johnny's pride got in the way
D

And he kept the letter sealed
G

For fourteen days

Verse 4


Then one night he couldn't stand it
D

Johnny took it from the drawer

He read the words she'd sent to him

Just two short weeks before

The tears fell hard as Johnny read
D

The words she had to say

"Boy I'm coming home to
E
A

you in fourteen days"
Verse 5
A

"Dear John: I know I hurt you,
D
A

but I pray that you'll forgive

And if you don't take me back again,
E

then, I don't want to live
A

If you're there when I step off the plane
D

Then I'll be yours, always
E

I arrive at four p.m. in four
A

teen days."

For a letter that he held

for fourteen days

Fourteen days it stayed unread

Fourteen nights he dreamed about her

And the good times that

  • 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.
