  • Verse 1
    Last time we were here 
    at Folsom Prison, they 

    were hanging Joe Bean. 

    Is Joe still 
    here, Joe Bean? Hang the son of a bitch anyways, right? 

    Well, they're 
    hanging Joe Bean 
    this morning, 

    for 
    killing a man 
    in Arkansas. 

    Funny 
    thing about it, 

    Joe Bean 
    has never 
    been to Arkansas. 

    On top 
    of 
    that, 

    Joe 
    Bean never 
    heard of 
    the man. 

    In fact, 
    today 
    is Joe Bean's 

    twentieth 
    birthday. 

    Verse 2
    See 
    through 
    the prison 
    bars, 
    Joe 
    Bean, 

    see 
    where the 
    gallows 
    stand. 

    Just 
    twenty 
    short years 
    from the 
    day 
    you were born, 

    you 
    died 
    by the 
    hangman's 
    hand. 

    Yes, they're 
    hanging 
    Joe 
    Bean 
    this 
    morning, 

    for a 
    shooting 
    that 
    he nev
    er did. 

    He killed 
    20 men, 

    by 
    the 
    time 
    he was 
    10, he 
    was 
    an 
    unruly 
    kid. 

    Yes, they're 
    hanging 
    Joe 
    Verse 3
    Bean 
    for 
    the 

    one shooting 
    that 
    Joe Bean 
    never 
    did. 

    Well, Joe, 
    your 
    mother 
    is 
    at the 
    Capitol, 

    asking 
    the governor 
    for a stay. 

    And it's hard 
    on her
    'cause she 
    knows where 
    you were, 

    on 
    that 
    particular 
    day. 

    You were 
    working 
    Joe 
    Bean, 
    hard 
    work
    ing, 

    robbing 
    the Santa 
    Fe. 

    Verse 4
    Well, the 
    telegraph 
    wires 

    are humming. 

    Here, the 
    governor's 

    words 
    come 
    through. 

    He 
    said, "I can
    't set 
    you free, 
    it's 
    not 
    up to me, 

    but 
    there's much, 
    Joe 
    Bean, 
    I'll 
    do. 

    I'll 
    join 
    your mother 
    in ex
    tending 
    Birthday 
    greetings 

    to 
    you. 
    Happy Birth
    day, 
    Joe Bean."

    • 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.
