  • Verse 1
    In 
    the corner 

    of 
    the bar
    room 

    Lives 
    the ghost 
    of Langston 
    Hughes 

    He's 
    takin' 
    notes 
    and 

    smokin' 
    cigarettes 

    Sippin' 
    slowly 
    on 
    his 
    booze 

    Got them 
    goin' 
    nowhere 
    blues 

    Verse 2
    And on 
    the stage 
    beneath 

    the spot
    light 

    Woody 
    Gu
    thrie 
    sings 
    the news 

    He's 
    always 
    ready 
    for 

    the good 
    fight 

    Never 
    think
    in' 
    that he'll 
    lose 

    Got them 
    goin' 
    nowhere 
    blues 

    Through 
    the back 
    way 
    in 
    the al
    Verse 3
    ley 

    Sellin' 
    all 
    you should 
    re
    fuse 

    Looks 
    like Jane 

    has 
    finally 
    given 
    in 

    Hey, 
    what 
    the hell 
    it ain't 

    no 
    use 

    Got them 
    goin' 
    nowhere 
    blues 

    Out 
    the front 
    around 
    the corner 
    Verse 4

    Martin 
    Luther 
    shines 
    your 
    shoes 

    He's 
    preachin' 
    justice 

    and 
    equality 

    I guess 
    Mar
    tin's 
    payin' 
    dues 

    He's 
    got them 
    goin' 
    nowhere 
    blues 

    On 
    the 
    other 
    side 
    Verse 5
    it's a 

    free 
    ride 

    You've 
    got 
    money 
    you 

    can burn 

    When the 
    ground 
    shakes 

    and the 
    earth break

    Which 
    way 
    you 
    gonna 
    turn? 

    Are you 
    ever 
    gonna 
    learn?

    • 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.
