    Verse 1
    He 
    said 
    he 
    discovered 

    Amer
    ica 
    with 
    nothin' 
    but 
    a paper 
    sack 

    The 
    first 
    sight 
    he 
    re
    membered 
    was 

    the Statue 
    of 
    Liberty's 
    back 

    He 
    lost 
    his 
    mama 
    on 
    the Brooklyn 

    street 
    when 
    he 
    was 
    just 
    thirteen 

    He 
    made 
    his 
    way 
    out 
    west, 

    he'd 
    seen 
    some 
    pictures 
    in 
    a magazine 

    Verse 2

    He 
    worked 
    a while 
    as 
    a roughneck 

    in 
    the 
    Floydada Black 
    Oil 
    fields 

    And 
    the Fat 
    Oilmen of 
    Texas 
    would 

    watch 
    him 
    a- 
    tap 
    his 
    heels 

    As 
    the 
    oil 
    poured 
    in 
    and 
    the cotton 

    grew 
    and 
    the 
    Cadillacs 
    fell 
    like 
    rain 

    He 
    did 
    the work 
    of 
    a dozen 
    men 

    and 
    never 
    did 
    com
    plain 

    Verse 3

    If 
    you 
    added 
    up 
    his 
    troubles 

    they'd 
    fill 
    the prairie 
    sky 

    But 
    he 
    lived 
    more 
    in 
    an 
    hour 

    than 
    most 
    men 
    in 
    their 
    lives 

    He 
    nev
    er 
    preached 
    a sermon 

    and 
    an 
    angel 
    he 
    ain't 

    But 
    any
    one 
    can tell 
    you 

    he's 
    a 
    Hard 
    Luck 
    Saint 

    Verse 4
    He 

    worked 
    his 
    way 

    to 
    a cotton 
    town 
    down 
    Highway 
    84 

    And 
    that 
    is 
    where 
    I 
    met 
    him 
    in 

    a 
    used 
    cloth
    ing 
    store 

    With 
    my mama 
    and 
    my 
    papa, 

    little 
    Mark 
    and 
    Muleshoe 
    Bill 

    I still 
    remember 
    tearstains on 

    a 
    dusty 
    window 
    sill 

    Verse 5

    If 
    you 
    added 
    up 
    his 
    troubles 

    they'd 
    fill 
    the prairie 
    sky 

    But 
    he 
    lived 
    more 
    in 
    an 
    hour 

    than 
    most 
    men 
    in 
    their 
    lives 

    He 
    never 
    preached 
    a 
    sermon 

    and 
    an 
    angel 
    he 
    ain't 

    But 
    anyone 
    can 
    tell 
    you 
    he's 
    a 
    Hard 
    Luck 
    Saint 

    Interlude 1






    Verse 6
    He 
    never 
    stayed 
    around 
    long 
    but 
    he 

    never 
    said 
    'goodbye' 

    No tellin' 
    where 
    he 
    went 
    to, 

    he 
    walked 
    a 
    rugged 
    mile 

    He 
    might 
    just 
    pass 
    through 
    your 
    town 

    one 
    of 
    these 
    a- 
    hard 
    luck 
    days 

    And 
    pass 
    right 
    through 
    to 
    the 
    other 

    side 
    goin' 
    his 
    hard 
    luck 
    ways 

    Verse 7

    If 
    you 
    added 
    up 
    his 
    troubles 

    they'd 
    fill 
    the prairie 
    sky 

    He

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
