Verse 1
D
A
D

I met a little girl in Knoxville
G
D

A town we all know well

And every sunday evening
E
A

In her home I'd dwell
D

We went to take an evening walk
G
D

About a mile from town

I picked a stick up off the ground
A
D

And I knocked that fair girl down

She fell down on her bended knees
G
D

For mercy she did cry

"Oh Willy, dear, don't kill me yet
E
A

I'm unprepared to die"
D

She never spoke another word
G
D

I only beat her more

Until the ground around me
A
D
A
D

With her blood did flow

I took her by her golden curls
G

And I dragged her 'round
D

and 'round

Throwing her into the river
E
A

That flows from Knoxville town
D

Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl
G
D

With your dark and roving eyes

Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl
A
D

You can never be my bride

I started back to Knoxville
G
D

Got there about midnight

My mother, she was worried
E
A

She woke up in a fright
D

Saying, "Dear son, what have you done
G
D

To bloody up your clothes?"

I told my anxious mother
A
D
A
D

That I was bleading in my nose

I called for me a candle
G
D

And I called for me a bed

And I called for me a handkerchief
E
A

To bind my aching head
D

I rolled and thrashed the

whole night through
G
D

All horrors I did see

The devil stood at the foot of my bed
A
D

Pointing his finger at me

They carried me down to Knoxville
G
D

And put me in a cell

My friends all tried to get me out
E
A

But none could grow my bail
D

I'm here to waste my life away
G
D

Down in this dirty old jail

Because I murdered that Knoxville girl
A
D

The girl I loved so well

  • 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.
