    I'm 

    handcuffed 
    to 

    a fence 
    in 
    Missis
    sippi. 

    My 
    girlfriend 
    blows 
    a boozy 

    good-bye 
    kiss. 

    kiss. 

    see fly
    ing 
    squirrels 
    and 

    nightmares 
    of stig
    mata. 

    Then 
    awakening 
    to find 

    my 
    Trans-Am 
    gone. 

    gone. 

    Still, 
    I'm 
    feeling 
    pretty 
    good 

    about 
    the fu
    ture. 

    Yeah, 
    everything 
    is 
    peaches 

    but 
    the cream. 

    I'm 
    handcuffed 
    to 
    a fence 

    in Missis
    sippi, 

    Where 
    things 
    is 
    always 
    better 

    than 
    they 
    seem. 

    Things 
    is 
    always 
    better 

    than 
    they 
    seem. 


    I see 
    the 
    guitar 
    that 
    my 
    cousin 

    played 
    in 
    prison, 

    Floating 
    with 
    the tv 
    in 
    the swimming 
    pool. 

    I'm 
    calling 
    for 
    the 
    owner 

    of 
    the motel, 

    Then no
    ticing 
    the blood

    stain 
    on 
    the door. 

    I'm 
    reaching 
    for 
    the shoes 

    under 
    the bushes, 

    Just 
    in 
    time 
    to 
    hear 
    the sirens 
    sing. 

    I'm 
    handcuffed 
    to 
    a fence 

    in 
    Missis
    sippi, 

    Where 
    things 
    is 
    always 
    better 

    than 
    they 
    seem. 

    Things 
    is 
    always 
    better 

    than 
    they seem. 





    You

    just 
    a stu

    supersti
    tion, 

    'cause 
    life's 
    highway 

    that 
    you travel 
    blind. 

    It's 
    true 
    that 
    having 
    fun's 

    a ter

    What 
    good 
    is 
    hap
    piness, 

    when 
    it's 
    just 
    a state 
    of mind?

    We're 
    all 
    shackled 
    to 
    the mill

    stone 
    of 
    our dreams. 

    Me,

    • 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.
