    You 
    ask 
    me 
    why 
    ramble, 

    ask 
    me 
    why 
    roam, 

    ask 
    me 
    why 
    run 
    around, 

    nev
    er 
    have 
    had 
    a home. 

    My 
    daddy 
    was 
    rounder 

    and 
    he 
    gambled 
    all 
    over 
    the land. 

    I'm 
    just 
    chip 
    from the 
    same 
    old block, 

    I'm 
    a natural 
    born 
    gambling 
    man. 

    I'm 
    a natural 
    born 
    gambling 
    man, 

    just 
    natural 
    born 
    gambling 
    man. 

    can 
    throw 
    seven 
    and 

    follow 
    with 
    el
    even 

    I'm 
    a natural 
    born 
    gambling 
    man 




    Now 
    one 
    night 
    down 
    in 
    Memphis, 

    met 
    old 
    one -eyed 
    Sam, 

    Said, 
    come here 
    little Travis, 

    let's have 
    a little 
    game, 

    So I 
    laid the 
    money 
    down, 

    But 
    he slipped 
    one off 
    of the 
    bottom, 

    And 
    I seen 
    him 
    when he got 
    his 
    hand, 

    So 
    pulled 
    my 
    gun 
    and I 

    mowed 
    him 
    down, 

    I'm 
    a natural 
    born 
    gambling 
    man, 

    They 
    hauled 
    me 
    into Nashville 
    of 
    course, 

    And 
    throwed 
    me 
    in 
    a cell, 

    They gave 
    me 
    number 
    instead 
    of 
    a name, 

    number 
    that 
    I love 
    so 
    well, 

    three 
    sevens 
    and 
    eleven, 

    that's 
    good hand, 
    huh? 

    knowed 
    right 
    then 
    that 
    I'd won 
    again, 

    I'm 
    a natural 
    -born 
    gambling 
    man. 

    I'm 
    a natural 
    -born 
    gambling 
    man, 

    just 
    natural 
    -born 
    gambling 
    man. 

    Well 
    can roll 
    that 
    seven 
    and 

    follow 
    with 
    eleven, 

    I'm 
    a natural 
    -born 
    gambling 
    man. 




    Now 
    the 
    day 
    that 
    I got my 
    pardon 

    The 
    warden 
    said 
    to me 

    Now 
    son 
    take 
    my 
    advice 

    Quit 
    shootin' 
    them 
    dice 

    and let 
    that old 
    gamblin' 
    be 

    said, 
    look 
    here, 
    Mr. 
    Warden 

    Let's 
    me and 
    you just 
    play one 
    hand 

    and 
    I'll 
    bet 
    you 
    ten 
    that 
    you can't 
    win 

    I'm 
    natural 
    born 
    gamblin' 
    man 

    I'm 
    a natural 
    born 
    gamblin' 
    man 

    Just 
    natural 
    born 
    gamblin' 
    man 

    Jody 
    picked the 
    cotton 

    and the 
    forks 
    of the 
    branch 

    I'm 
    a natural 
    born 
    gamblin' 
    man

    • 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.
