Verse 1
D
Well, a foreman said to John Henry,
A
he said, what can you do?
D
Line of track and I can carry a jack
I can pick and shovel too, Lord,
Lord, pick and shovel too
John Henry said to the captain,
Captain, how can that be?
Got forty -nine men on your job,
you'll hurry nobody but me,
Lord, Lord, you'll hurry nobody but me
But John Henry was a
steel -drivin' man,
Lord, Lord, Henry was a railroad man.
Now John Henry had a little wife,
her name was Polly Ann.
When John Henry was
sick down in his bed,
she drove steel like a natural man, Lord, Lord,
she drove steel like a natural man
John Henry had a little wife,
and she began to sing, said,
you don't have to worry
as long as I can make this hammerang,
Lord, Lord,
long as I can make this hammerang
Well, a peck would peck a wood,
would peck a wood
Make your head so red
I've been working on the levee
And the sun done burned my head
Lord, Lord, the sun done burned my head
Says, where did you get your pretty little shoes,
woman?
G
D
You're dressed so fine
I got the shoes off of Maxwell
I got the dress off of Hollister
Lord, Lord, I got the dress off of Hollister
Well, John Henry was a
steel -driving man,
Lord, Lord, Henry was a railroad man.
John Henry went to his woman's house,

Says he was sick and
D
he had to lay down,
he had a mighty hurting in his head,

hurting in his head.
Now John Henry died up in the mountain,
they buried him in the clay

And the last word I heard him say,
never let your woman have her way,

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!!!”

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
