Verse 1
D
(kinky friedman)
A
D
She was only a waitress
in a highway café
A
Poured coffee from dusk until dawn
But she was heart broken
twenty- four hours a day
For she longed for her trucker
D
who'd gone.
¡°i'll make you the corned
beef on rye¡±
A
She'd sing with a gleam in her eye.
The headlights were burning,
G
The big wheels were turning,
Her sweetheart would
A
D
come bye and bye.
Verse 2
D
When he'd park his great
semi off route 64
A
She'd blush with a sweet little sigh,
For at half past eleven
he'd walk in the door
And he'd order her corned
D
A
beef on rye.
Verse 3
D
¡°i'll make you the corned
beef on rye¡±
A
She'd sing with a gleam in her eye.
The jukebox was blarin';
G
His soft eyes were starin',
A
The corned beef would come bye and bye.
D
Verse 4
All the drivers remember that night,
so they say,
A
She'd said her farewells to them all,
But when the hands on the clock
reached a quarter past twelve
D
Her suitcase still stood in the hall.
Verse 5
D
And the hours passed by even as the
trucks passed by out on the highway
A
And then two grim highway patrolmen
came into the place,
Shook the rain from their hats
and as the poor girl
Brought them their coffee,
D
she overheard the words that they said.

¡°oh curly, did you see that old diesel flattened out like your
damned nose up by the predicament tonight ? ¡±

In that highway café in
the sky.

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
