    Verse 1
    can 
    tell 
    my 
    mama's 
    short 
    on 
    loving 
    me 

    guess 
    that's 
    why 
    she 
    let 
    me 
    go 
    so 
    far 

    Mama 
    tried 
    to 
    stop 
    me 
    short 
    of 
    stealing 

    guess 
    that's 
    why 
    had 
    to 
    steal 
    that 
    car 

    She 
    told 
    me 
    not 
    to 
    smoke 
    it 

    But 
    did 
    and 
    it 
    took 
    me 
    far 
    a
    way 

    And 
    turned 
    out 
    to 
    be 

    The 
    only 
    hell 
    my 
    mama 
    ever 
    raised 

    Verse 2
    Well, 
    rolled 
    into 
    Atlanta, 

    stolen 
    tags 
    and 
    almost 
    out 
    of 
    gas 

    had 
    to 
    get 
    some 
    money, 

    lately 
    I'd 
    learned 
    how 
    to 
    get 
    it 
    fast 

    Those 
    neon 
    lights 
    was 
    calling 
    me 

    and 
    somehow 
    just 
    had 
    to 
    get 
    down
    town 

    So 
    reached 
    into 
    the 
    glove 
    box, 

    another 
    liquor 
    store 
    went 
    down 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    said 
    'Precious 
    memories', 

    take 
    me 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    good 
    ol' 
    days' 

    Let 
    me 
    hear 
    my 
    men 
    and 
    sing, 

    'Rock 
    of 
    Ages, 
    Cleft 
    for 
    Me' 

    She 
    tried 
    to 
    turn 
    me 
    on 
    to 
    Jesus, 

    but 
    turned 
    on 
    to 
    the 
    devil's 
    ways 

    And 
    turned 
    out 
    to 
    be 

    The 
    only 
    hell 
    my 
    mama 
    ever 
    raised 

    Verse 3
    When 
    they 
    put 
    put 
    them 
    handcuffs 
    on 
    me, 

    Lord 
    how 
    fought 
    to 
    resist 

    But 
    a
    gent 
    clamped 
    clamped 
    'em 
    tighter, 

    'til 
    that 
    metal 
    bit 
    into 
    my 
    wrist 

    They 
    took 
    my 
    belt 
    and 
    my 
    billfold, 

    my 
    fingerprints, 
    and 
    the 
    profile 
    of 
    my 
    face 

    And 
    then 
    they 
    locked 
    away 

    the 
    only 
    hell 
    my 
    mama 
    ever 
    raised 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    I'd 
    say 
    'Precious 
    memories', 

    take 
    me 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    good 
    ol' 
    days' 

    Let 
    me 
    hear 
    my 
    men 
    and 
    sing, 

    'Rock 
    of 
    Ages, 
    Cleft 
    for 
    Me' 

    She 
    tried 
    to 
    turn 
    me 
    on 
    to 
    Jesus, 

    but 
    turned 
    on 
    to 
    the 
    devil's 
    ways 

    And 
    turned 
    out 
    to 
    be 

    The 
    only 
    hell 
    my 
    mama 
    ever 
    raised 

    Chorus 3
    She 
    tried 
    to 
    turn 
    me 
    on 
    to 
    Jesus, 

    but 
    turned 
    on 
    to 
    the 
    devil's 
    ways 

    And 
    turned 
    out 
    to 
    be 

    The 
    only 
    hell 
    my 
    mama 
    ever 
    raised

    • 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.
