G
I can't sell my mama's
short on lovin' me.
I guess that's why she let me go so far.

C
Mama tried to stop me short of stealin'.
G
I guess that's why I had to steal that car.
She told me not to smoke it,
C
but I did, and it took me far away
D
And I turned out to be
G
the only hell my mama ever raised
Well, I rode into Atlanta,
stolen taxin' almost out of gas
C
I had to get some money
Lately, I'd learned how to get it fast
G
Old Neon Lights was callin' me
C
And somehow I just had to get downtown
D
So I reached into the glove box
G
Another liquor store went down
And I said, precious memories,
C
take me back to the good old days
D
Let me hear my mama singing,
a rock of ages clipped for me
G
She tried to turn me on to Jesus,
C
but I turned on to the devil's ways
D
And I turned out to be,
G
Ab
the only hell my mama ever raised
Well, put them handcuffs on me
Lord, how I fought to resist
Db
But they just clamped them tighter
Till that metal bit into my wrists
Ab
They took my belt and my billfold,
Db
my fingerprints and the profile of my face
Eb
And then they locked away
Ab
the only hill my mama ever raised
And I said, precious memory,
Db

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!!!”

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
