  • Verse 1
    There 
    were 
    signs 
    beside 

    the road 
    like 
    "Jesus 
    Saves" 

    And 
    "Relieve 
    yourself 
    the 

    fast 
    and 
    gentle 
    way" 

    was 
    lookin' 
    for 
    an 
    old 
    man 
    who 

    lived 
    way 
    back 
    in 
    these 
    hills 

    Who 
    just 
    might 
    have 
    story 

    could 
    tell 


    Verse 2
    Pretty 
    soon 
    the 
    blacktop disap
    peared 

    felt 
    the 
    car 
    change 
    to 
    lower 
    gear 

    took 
    a drink 
    of 
    liquor 
    just 

    to chase 
    away 
    the chill 

    was 
    27 miles 
    from 
    Olive 
    Hill 

    Verse 3

    Ahead 
    saw 
    the 
    bridge 
    where 
    turned 
    right 

    dirt 
    road 
    led 
    straight 
    up 
    a mountain
    side 

    pulled 
    up 
    to 
    farmhouse 

    thought 
    had 
    seen 
    before 

    An 
    old 
    man 
    and 
    his 
    dog 

    were 
    at 
    the 
    door 

    Verse 4

    They 
    told 
    me 
    this 
    old- 
    timer 
    knew 
    this 
    land 

    told 
    him, 
    "Sir, 
    just 
    don't 
    under
    stand 

    Why 
    the kids 
    in 
    this 
    state 
    just 

    grow 
    up 
    and 
    move 
    away 

    And 
    leave 
    the 
    land 
    where 
    they 

    were 
    born 
    and 
    raised." 

    Verse 5

    He 
    said, 
    "Son, 

    you 
    can't 
    make 
    it 
    on 
    this 
    land 

    Unless 
    you're 
    happy 
    workin' 

    with 
    your 
    hand

    There 
    ain't 
    no 
    kids 
    today 
    that 

    wanna 
    stay 
    and 
    work 
    it 
    out 

    They 
    wanna 
    see 
    the 
    things 

    they 
    hear 
    about." 

    Verse 6

    He 
    said, 
    "I 
    cleared 
    this 

    whole 
    farm 
    off 
    my
    self 

    And 
    I'd 
    work 
    it 
    now 
    but 
    time 

    has 
    got 
    my 
    health." 

    Then 
    starin' 
    out 
    the 
    window 

    restin' 
    in 
    his 
    easy 
    chair 

    He 
    told 
    me 
    what 
    I'd 
    really 
    come 
    to 
    hear 

    Verse 7

    "You 
    know, 
    son, 

    people 
    used 
    to tell 
    their 
    kid

    'Now, 
    I don't 
    want 
    you 
    to 
    have 

    to 
    work 
    the 
    way 
    did.' 

    They 
    don't 
    and 
    some 
    will tell 

    you 
    that 
    it's 
    shame 

    But 
    you have 
    to think 
    be

    fore 
    you 
    place 
    the 
    blame." 

    Verse 8

    guess 
    we 
    must 
    have 
    talked 
    for 
    half 
    a day 

    'Til 
    told 
    him 
    that 
    I'd 
    best 
    be 
    on 
    my 
    way 

    He 
    shook 
    my 
    hand 
    and 
    said, 

    "I'm 
    glad 
    met 
    you, 
    Mr. 
    Hall 

    But 
    guess 
    there 
    ain't 
    no 
    song 

    here 
    after 
    all."

    • 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.
