I used to be a rambler,

a bootlegger and gambler,

but really I was a good man.

One day I sold some gin,
C
G

sold it to the wrong men,
A

now they got me down
D

here in the can.
G

I've got the jailhouse blues,
C
G

the blues I can't lose
D

Now if ever I get free,

there'll be no more whiskey for me
G

I've got the jailhouse blues
D

Oh, my lady, oh, my lady,
G
C
D
G

oh, my lady
C

I called up my honey, said, dear,
D
G

bring me down some money

They've got me down
D

here in the jungle
G

Won't you go my bail
C
G

and get me out of jail
D

But she said go and tell it to the judge

I've got the jailhouse blues,
D

the blues I can't lose

My baby's turned me down,

when I get out

I'll leave this doggone town

I've got the jailhouse blues

Oh my lady, the old lady, old lady

Now you can understand
C

Why these doggone women love the man

But wait until he runs out of dough

They'll kick you in the pants
C

Every time they get a chance
D

And there won't be no gal no more

I've got the jailhouse blues

The blues I can't lose

My baby turned me down

When I get out

I'll leave this doggone town
G

I've got the jailhouse blues

The old lady, the lady,

oh, the old lady.

  • 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.
