    Gulf 
    Coast 
    Highway 

    He 
    worked 
    the 
    rails 

    He 
    worked 
    the rice 
    fields 

    With their 
    cool 
    dark 
    wells 

    He worked 
    the 
    oil 
    rigs 
    in the 

    Gulf 
    of Mex
    ico 

    The only 
    thing 
    we've ever 
    owned 
    Verse 2

    Is this 
    old house 
    here 
    by 
    the 
    road 

    And when he 
    dies 
    he says 
    he'll catch 

    Some 
    blackbird's 
    wing 

    Verse 3
    Then 
    he will 
    fly 
    away 
    to Heav
    en 
    come 

    Some 
    sweet 
    blue 
    bonnet 
    spring 

    She 
    walked 
    through 
    springtime 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    home 

    The 
    days 
    were sweet 
    Verse 4

    The 
    nights 
    were warm 

    The 
    seasons 
    change, 
    the jobs 
    would 

    Come, 
    the 
    flowers 
    fade 

    This 
    old 
    house 
    felt 
    so 
    alone 
    Verse 5

    When the 
    work 
    took 
    me 
    away 

    And 
    when she 
    dies 
    she 
    says, she'll 

    Catch 
    some 
    blackbirds 
    wing 

    Then she will 
    fly 
    away 

    to Heav

    Some 
    sweet 
    blue 
    bonnet 
    spring

    Highway 
    90 

    The 
    jobs 
    are 
    gone 

    We

    our garden 

    We 
    set 
    the sun

    This 
    is 
    the 
    only 
    place 
    on earth 

    Blue 
    bonnets 
    grow 

    Once 
    a year 
    they come 
    and go 

    At this old 
    house 
    here 
    by 

    the 
    road

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
