  • Verse 1
    The 
    wagon 
    wheels 
    are turning 

    with 
    cobble 
    colored 
    sound 

    When 
    me 
    and 
    little 
    Davey 
    rode 

    the first 
    load 
    into 
    town 

    The cotton 
    gin 
    was 
    ginning 
    out 

    the pen
    nies 
    for 
    the pounds 

    Like 
    a gi
    ant 
    vacuum 
    cleaner 

    sucking 
    lint 
    up 
    off 
    the ground 

    Verse 2
    Our 
    freckled 
    faces 
    sparkled 
    then 

    like 
    diamonds 
    in 
    the rough 

    With smiles 
    that 
    smelled 
    of snaggle- 

    teeth 
    and 
    good old 
    Garrett 
    snuff 

    If 
    could, 
    I would 
    be trading 
    all 

    this 
    fat 
    back 
    for 
    the lean 

    When 
    Jesus 
    was 
    our 
    savior 

    and 
    cotton 
    was 
    our 
    king 

    Verse 3
    This 
    kind 
    of life 
    we're living 

    beats 
    all 
    ever 
    seen 

    Guess 
    some 
    of us 
    was 
    born 
    for 

    picking 
    things 
    and eaten 
    beans 

    Still, 
    reckon 
    we're 
    all 
    digging 

    something 
    well 
    in our 
    means 

    'Cause 
    Jesus 
    is 
    our 
    savior 
    now 

    but 
    cotton 
    ain't 
    our 
    king 

    Verse 4
    Our 
    freckled 
    faces 
    sparkled 
    then 
    like 

    diamonds 
    in 
    the rough 

    With smiles 
    that smelled 
    of 

    snaggleteeth and 
    good old 
    Garrett 
    snuff 

    If 
    could, 
    I would 
    be 
    trading 
    all 

    this 
    fat 
    back 
    for 
    the lean 

    When 
    Jesus 
    was 
    our savior 
    and 

    cotton 
    was 
    our 
    king

    • 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.
