    Verse 1
    Mary 
    took 
    to 
    running 
    with 
    travelling 
    man 

    Left 
    her 
    momma 
    crying 

    with 
    her 
    head 
    in 
    her 
    hands 

    Such 
    sad 
    case, 
    so 
    broken 
    hearted 

    She 
    say, 
    momma, 
    gotta 
    go, 

    gotta 
    get 
    outta 
    here 

    Gotta 
    get 
    outta 
    town, 
    tired 
    of 
    hanging 
    around 

    gotta 
    roll 
    on 
    between 
    the 
    ditches 

    Just 
    an 
    ordinary 
    story 
    'bout 
    the 
    way 
    things 
    go 

    'Round 
    and 
    around, 
    nobody 
    knows 

    But 
    the 
    highway 
    goes 
    on

    Verse 2
    Lord, 
    she 
    never 
    would’ve 
    done 
    it 

    if 
    she 
    hadn't 
    got 
    drunk 

    If 
    she 
    hadn't 
    started 
    running 

    with 
    travelling 
    man 

    If 
    she 
    hadn't 
    started 
    taking 

    those 
    crazy 
    chances 

    She 
    say, 
    daughter, 
    let 
    me 
    tell 
    you 

    'bout 
    the 
    travelling' 
    kind 

    Everywhere 
    he's 
    goin' 
    such 
    very 
    short 
    time 

    He'll 
    be 
    long 
    gone 
    before 
    you 
    know 
    it 

    He'll 
    be 
    long 
    gone 
    before 
    you 
    know 
    it.

    Never 
    have 
    knew 
    it 
    when

    could 

    Never 
    have 
    done 
    it 
    when 
    it 
    looked 
    so 
    right

    • 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.
