    Verse 1
    My 
    life 
    with 
    trouble 
    goes 

    back 
    to 
    the 
    candy 

    That I stole 
    from 
    Jessie 
    Walker's 

    country 
    store 

    A penny 
    separated 
    me 
    from 

    choosing 
    sides 
    with 
    honesty 

    And I 
    just 
    got 
    tired 
    of being 
    poor. 


    Verse 2
    Some 
    folks 
    eat 
    their 
    supper 
    off 
    of 
    silver 

    And 
    the only 
    world 
    they'll 

    ever 
    know 
    is 
    wealth 

    But 
    can't 
    blame 
    the rich 
    folks 

    for 
    these 
    big 
    stone 
    walls 

    This 
    prison 
    is 
    the 
    doings 
    of 
    my
    self. 

    Verse 3
    Freedom 
    ran 
    away 
    from 
    me 
    at 
    twenty-
    three 

    I broke 
    the lock 
    on 
    one 
    to 
    many 
    doors 

    My 
    hungry 
    hands 
    would 
    not 
    behave 

    When 
    they got 
    close 
    to thing
    s they 
    crave 

    just 
    got 
    tired 
    of bein' 
    poor. 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    remember 
    Willie 
    Jack 
    who 

    laughed 
    at me 

    And the 
    talking 
    about 
    the ragged 

    clothes 
    wore 

    That's 
    when 
    Willie 
    got 
    a taste 

    of 
    all 
    knuckles 
    in his 
    face 

    just 
    got 
    tired 
    of bein' 
    poor. 

    Verse 5
    Some 
    folks 
    eat 
    their 
    supper 
    off 
    of silver 

    And 
    the only 
    world 
    they'll 

    ever 
    know 
    is 
    wealth 

    But 
    can't 
    blame 
    the rich 

    folks 
    for 
    these 
    big 
    stone 
    walls 

    This 
    prison 
    is 
    the 
    doings 
    of 
    my
    self. 

    Verse 6

    poor.

    just 
    got 
    tired

    • 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.
