    Verse 1
    A

    I look for trouble and I found it, son

    Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun

    I tried to run but I don't think I can

    "You make one move

    and you're a dead man, friend"
    D

    Ain't living long like this
    A

    Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
    E

    He slipped the handcuffs on

    behind my back

    Then left me reeling on a steel rail rack
    D

    They got 'em all in the jailhouse, baby
    A

    Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
    Verse 2
    A

    Grew up in Houston off the Wayside Drive

    Son of a carhop at some all night dive

    Dad drove a stock car to an early death

    All I remember was a drunk man's breath
    D

    Ain't living long like this
    A

    Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
    E

    You know the story

    how the wheel goes 'round

    Don't let them take you to the man downtown
    D

    Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby

    I live with Angel, she's a roadhouse queen

    Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee

    I want to love her but I don't know how

    I'm at the bottom of the jailhouse now

    You know the story about the jailhouse rock

    Don't want to do it, but just don't get caught

    They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby

    • 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.
