    rather 
    see 
    you 
    in 

    your 
    windin' 
    sheets 

    Than 
    see 
    you 
    on 
    a long 
    rattlin' 
    chain,

    eye

    the 
    death 

    of 
    many 
    deadly 
    sheriff 

    Six 
    gone and he's 
    never 
    told 
    lie,

    a lie

    I've 
    run 
    to 
    the 
    east, 

    I've 
    run 
    to 
    the west 

    I've 
    run 
    just 
    as 
    far 
    as 
    I can 

    If I 
    ever 
    get 
    loose 
    from 
    this 
    ball 
    and 
    chain 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    make 
    it 
    to the 
    free 
    state

    got 
    guards 
    to 
    the 
    east 

    and 
    guards 
    to 
    the west 

    You've 
    got 
    guards 
    this 
    whole 
    world 
    round 

    But 
    be
    fore 
    I'll be 
    a slave 

    I'll 
    rot 
    in 
    your bed 

    You 
    can 
    take 
    me to 
    my 
    hangin' 
    ground, 

    mister 
    jail, 

    Take 
    me 
    to my 
    hangin' 

    ground

    • 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.
