    Verse 1
    Miles 
    down 
    in a 
    holy 
    town, 

    built 
    amongst 
    the 
    trees, 

    preached 
    a man 
    named Pumpkin 
    Brown 

    who 
    could 
    wash 
    the sins 
    from 
    me. 

    Well 
    he 
    searched 
    the 
    ground 

    like a 
    serpent 
    hound 

    crawling 
    through 
    the 
    weeds 

    And 
    he combed 
    the stills 

    and 
    climbed 
    the hills 

    for the 
    good 
    Lord's 
    true 
    indeed 

    He 
    searched 
    the 
    ground 

    like a 
    serpent 
    hound 

    sifting 
    through 
    the 
    brush 

    And 
    they'd 
    call 
    his name 

    when the 
    morning 
    came 

    and 
    he 
    could not 
    get 
    enough 

    He 
    was 
    looking 
    for the 
    key 

    to the 
    good Lord's 
    mystery 

    Well 
    he 
    came 
    down 
    from a 
    gospel 
    town 

    way 
    up in 
    Tennessee 

    And 
    he'd 
    never 
    pass 
    single 
    chance 

    to 
    call 
    out 
    and 
    to preach 

    Well 
    he 
    had 
    that 
    spirit 
    deep 
    in him 

    and 
    with those 
    tongues 
    he'd 
    speak 

    He'd 
    skip 
    the aisles 
    side 

    to side 
    floating 
    on 
    his 
    feet 

    The 
    people 
    came 
    from 
    miles 
    around 

    and 
    at 
    the pulpit 
    he 
    was 
    found 

    Shaken 
    like thunder 

    while his 
    words 
    spit 
    like 
    fire 

    He 
    was 
    looking 
    for the 
    key 

    to the 
    good lord's 
    mystery 

    All 
    right. 



    Well, 
    the 
    preacher 
    screams 

    to the 
    crowd 
    around, 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    save 
    your 
    souls, 

    it's 
    time 
    to 
    save 
    your souls. 

    Well, 
    they close 
    their 
    eyes 

    with their 
    hands 
    up high, 

    dancing 
    with the 
    moon 

    from side 
    to side, 

    singing 
    for 
    the 
    Lord 
    and the 
    devil, 

    do they 
    treat? 

    Yeah, 
    they 
    close 
    their eyes, 

    cast 
    out 
    their 
    lies, 

    barking 
    like 
    dogs 
    underneath 
    the sky, 


    Shakin' 
    and a 
    -movin' 

    like 
    God's 
    holy 
    feet 

    One 
    night 
    a soul 
    around 

    saw 
    the 
    serpent 
    bound 

    Stole 
    the soul 
    of 
    Reverend 
    John 
    Brown 

    Sunk 
    like 
    dagger 
    right 

    through 
    his veins 

    Lightnin' 
    fast, 
    man, 
    it took 
    his name 

    The 
    Reverend 
    tried 
    to 
    hide 
    the pain 

    To 
    the 
    crowd 
    did 
    he 
    refrain 

    I'm 
    ready 
    to go, 
    I ain't afraid 
    to die 

    Come 
    on 
    down 
    from 
    the 
    holy 
    sky 

    The 
    people 
    cried 
    and 
    they 

    gathered 
    round 

    They 
    fanned 
    his brow 
    with the 

    holy 
    sounds 

    Showing 
    love 
    to this 
    dignity 

    For 
    of this 
    life 
    now 
    he is 
    free 

    He 
    held 
    the key 
    to 
    the 

    good lord's 
    mystery 

    Well 
    that's 
    the tale 
    of 
    old 

    John 
    Wayne 
    Brown 

    And 
    to 
    the heavens 
    he was 
    duty 
    bound 

    He 
    cast 
    out 
    devils 

    and he 
    spoke 
    new tongues 

    He 
    followed 
    signs 

    and never played 
    with guns 

    But 
    this time 
    things 
    went a 
    different 
    way 

    And 
    in 
    the heavens 
    this 
    man'll 
    stay 

    Fightin' 
    with the 
    devil, 

    castin' 
    shadows 
    on 
    the ground 

    whale 
    in 
    the heavens, 

    for he 
    shall 
    stay 

    Preachin' 
    for the 
    Lord 

    almost 
    every 
    day 

    Holdin' 
    that 
    box 

    and the 
    sacred 
    lock 
    and key 

    Where 
    the 
    reverend, 
    his wife, 

    and the 
    good 
    old 
    Lord 

    makes 
    three 
    you

    • 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.
