Intro 1
Am


Verse 1
Am

I told some friends you came from

Gary

Though your home was in that town

The last time I saw you was

in New York City

Leaving on a Greyhound

homeward bound

I gave you what I had in my pocket

Enough for candy bars and beer

Didn't I wave goodbye with

a low down feeling?

Still, I held back the tears
Verse 2
Am

I started thinking 'bout you up in Milwaukee

It was raining when we reached Chicago

But the tears didn't start
D
Am

rolling down my cheeks
F#dim

'Til we rolled into Kokomo

Am

No one I know who ever met you

Could resist the way you sang and played

And none of us will ever forget you

We all just wished you had stayed
Verse 4

To share the music you made

Am

You told me you was gonna

stop smoking cigarettes

And buy a good looking car

You used to sing about your dreams,

dreams coming true

We thought you'd go so far

Am

I started thinking 'bout you up in Milwaukee

It was raining when we reached Chicago

But the tears didn't start rolling

down my cheeks

You know the first time

you came overseas

You was only seventeen

You're playing the blues in

Yank Rachel's band

You was happy to be heard and seen
F#dim
Am

Verse 7
Am

The next time around you

was on your own

Making a name for yourself

Now all that's left is the love in our hearts

And some reel- to- reel

tapes on my shelf
Verse 8
Am

I started thinking 'bout you up in Milwaukee

It was raining when we reached Chicago

But the tears didn't start

rolling down my cheeks

  • 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.
