  • Verse 1

    From 
    the 
    flat 
    plains 
    of 
    O
    hio 

    we 
    drifted 
    out 
    one 
    day 

    For 
    the 
    southern 
    part 
    of 
    the 
    journey 

    Underneath 
    the 
    bridge, 
    the 
    O
    hio 
    river 
    sang 

    As 
    we 
    headed 
    for 
    the 
    hills 
    of 
    West 
    Vir
    gin
    ia 

    Verse 2
    And 
    the 
    red 
    sun 
    of 
    the 
    mor
    ning 

    was 
    smiling 
    through 
    the 
    trees 

    As 
    the 
    darkness 
    of 
    the 
    night 

    was 
    quickly 
    fading 

    And 
    the 
    fog 
    hugged 
    the 
    road 

    like 
    cloudy, 
    cloudy 
    sea 

    When 
    we 
    drove 
    though 
    the 
    hills 

    of 
    West 
    Vir
    gin
    ia 

    Verse 3
    We 
    smoked 
    the 
    tobacco 

    and 
    drank 
    of 
    the 
    wine 

    And 
    we 
    spoke 
    of 
    the 
    forest 
    we 
    were 
    passing 

    And 
    the 
    road 
    would 
    wind 

    and 
    wind 
    and 
    wind 

    When 
    we 
    drove 
    though 
    the 
    hills 

    of 
    West 
    Vir
    gin
    ia 

    Verse 4
    A
    mong 
    all 
    the 
    wealth 

    of 
    the 
    beauty 
    that 
    we 
    passed 

    There 
    was 
    many 
    old 
    shacks 
    a-growing 
    older 

    And 
    we 
    saw 
    the 
    broken 
    bottles 

    laying 
    on 
    the 
    grass 

    When 
    we 
    drove 
    though 
    the 
    hills 

    of 
    West 
    Vir
    gin
    ia 

    Verse 5
    The 
    Vir
    ginia 
    people 
    watched 

    as 
    we 
    went 
    riding 
    by 

    Oh, 
    proud 
    as 
    boulder 
    they 
    were 
    standing 

    And 
    we 
    wondered 
    at 
    each 
    other 

    with 
    meeting 
    of 
    the 
    eye 

    When 
    we 
    drove 
    though 
    the 
    hills 

    of 
    West 
    Vir
    gin
    ia 

    Verse 6
    And 
    once 
    in 
    while 

    we 
    would 
    stop 
    by 
    the 
    road 

    And 
    gaze 
    at 
    the 
    womb 
    of 
    the 
    valley 

    Almost 
    wishing 

    for 
    path 
    down 
    below 

    Where 
    we 
    stopped 
    in 
    the 
    hills 

    of 
    West 
    Vir
    gin
    ia 

    Verse 7
    Up 
    and 
    down 
    and 
    all 
    around 

    we 
    took 
    our 
    restless 
    ride 

    And 
    the 
    rocks 
    they 
    were 
    staring 

    cold 
    and 
    jagged 

    Where 
    ex
    plosions 
    of 
    the 
    powder 

    had 
    torn 
    away 
    the 
    side 

    Where 
    we 
    drove 
    through 
    the 
    hills 

    of 
    West 
    Vir
    gin
    ia 

    Outro 1
    And 
    the 
    orange 
    sun 
    was 
    falling 

    on 
    the 
    southern 
    border 
    line 

    As 
    the 
    shadows 
    of 
    the 
    night 

    were 
    now 
    re
    turning 

    And 
    we 
    knew 
    the 
    mountains 
    followed 
    us 

    and 
    watched 
    us

    • 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.
