    Verse 1
    C

    Well, I quit my job down at the car wash

    Left my mama a goodbye note

    By sundown I'd left Kingston

    With my guitar under my coat
    F

    I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis

    Got a room at the YMCA
    C

    For the next three weeks,

    I went huntin' them nights

    Just lookin' for a place to play
    G

    Well, I thought my pickin'

    would set 'em on fire
    F

    But nobody wanted
    C
    G

    to hire a guitar man
    Verse 2
    C

    Well, I nearly 'bout starved

    to death down in Memphis

    I run outta money and luck

    So I bought me a ride down to Macon,

    Georgia on a overloaded poultry truck
    F

    I thumbed on down to Panama City

    Started pickin' out some o' them all night bars
    C

    Hopin' I could make myself a dollar

    Makin' music on my guitar
    G

    I got the same old story at them all night piers
    F

    There ain't no room around here
    C

    for a guitar man

    We don't need a guitar man, son
    Chorus 1
    F

    So I slept in the hobo jungles

    Roamed a thousand miles of track
    C

    Till I found myself in Mobile Alabama

    At a club they call Big Jack's
    F

    A little four-piece band was jammin'

    So I took my guitar and I sat in
    D

    I showed 'em what a band would sound like
    G

    With a swingin' little guitar man
    Interlude 1

    Show 'em, son

    So if you ever take a trip down to the ocean

    Find yourself down around Mobile

    Oh, make it on out to a club called Jack's

    If you got a little time to kill
    F

    Just follow that crowd of people

    You'll wind up out on his dance floor
    C

    Diggin' the finest little five piece group

    Up and down the Gulf of Mexico
    G

    Guess who's leadin' that five-piece band
    F

    Well, wouldn't ya know,
    Interlude 2

    it's that swingin' little guitar

    • 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.
