Verse 1
D

One fine mornin' when

the wild geese fly

I'm takin' my chances

on the sunny side

I'm headed down south where

the grass grows tall

Where the mockingbirds singing

and the whippoorwill calls
Verse 2
G

Spanish moss on the Natchez Trace

Gulf wind blowin' wide across my face

French girls dancin' to a big bang drum
D

Back down south where I come from
Verse 3
G

Where the river flows like warm molasses

Rain fogs up my readin' glasses

Honey suckle strong enough to curl
D

Your hair back down there
Verse 4

One fine mornin', gonna pull up stakes

I'm gonna chalk it all up

as just a bad mistake

Gonna hit the decks runnin'

bid a fond farewell

By the time I get to Memphis
Verse 5

I'll be outta my shell
G

Cotton fields just as white as snow

Sweet magnolia blossoms grow

Big moon shinin' like an ice cream cone

Back down south where I belong

Where the river flows like milk and honey

The nights are slow and the eggs are runny

I wouldn't mind sittin' in a rockin'

countin' railroad ties

  • 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.
