Joshua chords by 
Skeeter Davis

Verse 1
D
Well, a good ways down
the railroad track
G
There was this little old run -down shack
A
G
A
And in it lived a man I'd never seen
D
Folks said he was a mean
and a vicious man
G
And you better not set foot on his land
A
But I didn't think nobody
D
could be that mean
So I took me out walkin'
down a railroad track
G
I was gonna go down to that
little ol' shack
A
G
And just find out if all them things
A
I'd heard was true
D
There's a big black dog
layin' out in the yard
And it growled at me and
I swallowed hard
A
And I heard somebody say,
G
D
well, who are you?
Oh, and there he stood in
the door of that shack
G
And his beard and his
hair was long and black
A
And he was the biggest
G
A
man I'd ever seen
D
When he spoke his voice was low and deep
G
But he just didn't frighten me
A
Cause somehow I just
D
knew he wasn't mean
He said, what you doin'
snoopin' around my place
G
Then I saw a smile come across his face
A
G
A
So I smiled back and I told him who I was
D
He said, come on in,
I'll pull you up the chair
G
D
You might as well since you're
G
already here
A
And he said,
D
G
you can call me Joshua
D
Joshua, Joshua
A
What you doin' livin' here all alone?
D
G
D
Joshua, Joshua,
A
ain't you got nobody to
G
D
E
Em
call your own?
E
We talked till the sun was clean out of sight
A
But we were still talkin'
when a come day light calls
B
A
B
There was just so much we had to say
E
Now I'd spent my life in
an orphan's home
A
And just like him, I was all alone
B
So I said, yeah,
E
when he asked me if I'd stay
Well, we grew closer as time went on
A
And that little old shack
was a happy home
B
A
B
And we just couldn't help but fall in love
E
And that big black dog in that
little old shack
A
Sittin' down there by the railroad track
B
It's plenty good enough for
E
A
me and Joshua
E
Joshua, Joshua
B
Why, you're just what I've been
E
A
E
lookin' for Joshua, Joshua
B
A
E
We ain't gonna be lonesome anymore
B
E
A
E
B
Yo, lady, yo, lady, yeah
That don't sound much like Nollie,
E
does it?
Well that's the story of me and Joshua.
A real love story.
Me and Joshua.

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
