    own 

    They're 
    trying 
    to 
    track 
    me 
    down 

    They 
    say 
    they 
    want 
    to 

    bring 
    me 
    in 
    guilty 

    For 
    the 
    killing 
    of 
    the 
    deputy 

    But 
    say 

    shot 
    the

    but 
    swear

    capital 
    offence 

    I'm 
    not 
    guilty 

    Sheriff 

    John 

    Brown 
    always 
    hated 
    me 

    For 
    what? 

    Said 
    don't 
    know 

    Every 
    time 
    that 
    planted 
    my 
    seed 

    He 
    said, 
    kill 
    it 
    be
    fore 
    it 
    grows 

    And 
    say 

    And

    But 
    swear 
    it 
    wasn't 

    self 
    -defense 

    Freedom 
    came 
    my 
    way 
    one 
    day 

    And 
    started 
    out 
    way 
    out 
    there 

    All 
    of 
    sudden 
    see 

    Sheriff 

    John 

    Brown 

    And 
    he's 
    ready 
    to 
    shoot 
    me 
    down 

    So 
    shot 
    and 
    shot 
    him 
    down 

    But 
    said, 
    said 
    and 
    and 
    and 
    and 
    shot 
    the 
    sher
    iff, 

    didn't 
    shoot 
    no 
    deputy 

    Reflexes 
    got 
    the 
    better 
    of 
    me 

    What 
    is 
    to 
    be, 

    Lord, 
    it must 
    be 

    Every 
    day 
    you 
    carry 
    the 

    bucket 
    to 
    the 
    well 

    Then 
    one 
    day 
    the 
    bottom 
    will 
    drop 
    out 

    say, 
    the 
    bottom 
    will 
    drop 
    out 

    And 
    say 

    said, 
    shot 
    the 
    sheriff 

    But 
    didn't 
    shoot 
    no 
    deputy 

    Ooh, 
    and 
    shot 
    the 
    sheriff 

    No, 
    didn't 
    shoot 
    no 
    deputy 

    And 
    every 
    day 
    sing 
    it 
    too

    • 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.
