    Verse 1
    When 
    look 
    back, 
    boy, 

    I must 
    have 
    been 
    green 

    Bopping in 
    the country, 

    fishing 
    in 
    a stream 

    Looking 
    for 
    an 
    answer, 
    trying 
    to 
    find 
    a sign 

    Until 
    saw 
    your 
    city 
    lights, 

    honey, 
    was 
    blind 

    Verse 2
    They 
    said, 
    get 
    back, 
    honky 
    cat 

    Better 
    get 
    back 
    to 
    the woods 

    Well, 
    quit 
    those 
    days 

    and 
    my 
    redneck 
    ways 

    And, 
    mmhm-hm-hm,

    in 
    the city 
    ain't 
    where 
    it's 
    at 

    It's 
    like 
    trying 
    to 
    find 
    gold 
    in 
    silver 
    mine 

    It's 
    like 
    trying 
    to 
    drink 
    whiskey, 

    oh, 
    from 
    bottle 
    of 
    wine 

    Verse 4

    Well, 
    read 
    some 
    books, 

    and 
    read 
    some 
    magazines 

    About 
    those 
    high-class 
    ladies 
    ladies 

    down 
    in 
    New 
    Or
    leans 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    folks 
    back 
    home, 

    well, 
    said 
    was 
    fool 

    They 
    said, 
    oh, 

    "Believe 
    in 
    the Lord" 
    is 
    the 
    golden 
    rule 

    Verse 5
    They said, 
    get 
    back, 
    honky 
    cat 

    Better 
    get 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    woods 

    But 
    quit 
    those 
    days 
    and 

    my 
    red
    neck 
    ways 

    An

    boy, 

    you

    Living

    • 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.
