    Verse 1

    "Billy 
    Dalton 
    staggered 

    on 
    the side
    walk 

    Someone 
    said 
    he 
    stumbled 
    and 
    he 
    fell, 

    Six 
    squad 
    cars 
    came 

    screaming 
    to 
    the res
    cue 

    And 
    hauled 
    ol' 
    Billy 
    Dalton 
    off 
    to 
    jail. 

    Because 
    the 
    law 
    is 
    for 
    pro

    tection 
    of 
    the 
    people 

    Rules 
    are rules 
    an
    d any 
    fool 
    can 
    see, 

    We 
    don't 
    need 
    no 
    drunks 

    like 
    Billy 
    Dalton 

    Scaring 
    decent 
    folks 
    like 
    you 
    'n 
    me'

    Verse 2
    Honeycut was 

    nothin' 
    but 
    a 
    hippy 

    Walking 
    through 
    this 
    world 

    without 
    a care, 

    Then 
    one 
    day 
    six 
    strappin' 

    brave 
    police
    men 

    Held 
    down 
    Homer 
    Lee 

    and 
    cut 
    his 
    hair, 

    Because 
    the 
    law 
    is 
    for 

    protection 
    of 
    the 
    people 

    Rules

    rules 
    and 
    any 
    fool 
    can 
    see, 

    We 
    don't 
    need 
    no 
    hairy 
    headed 

    hip
    pies 

    Scarin' decent 
    folks 
    like 
    you 
    'n 
    me 

    No 
    Sireee 

    Verse 3
    So thank 
    your 
    lucky 
    stars 

    you 
    got 
    protection 

    Walk 
    the 
    line 
    and 
    never 
    mind 
    the cost 

    Don't 
    wonder 
    who 
    them 

    lawmen was

    When 
    they 
    nailed

      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

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
