    This 
    is 
    a letter 
    from 
    the pen, 

    I 
    got 
    a letter 
    from 
    the pen 

    This 
    is 
    a letter 
    from 
    the penitentiary, 

    and 
    I 
    was told 
    that I 
    should read 
    it to 
    you 

    He 
    said 
    the prison 
    breaks 
    will 
    come, 

    and 
    you soon 
    die 

    Money 
    that 
    you owe 
    him, 

    you 
    gon' pay 
    him by 
    the ton 

    He got the 
    Johnny 
    Cash 
    gun, 

    he 
    shot 
    him in the 
    penalty 

    just 
    to watch 
    him die 

    And 
    you 
    the next 
    in 
    line 

    Y 'all so 
    cool, 
    y so 
    crack, 
    y so 
    weak, 

    y so 
    smack, 
    y so 
    decks, 
    y so 
    mad 

    Then you 
    took 
    the cash 
    an
    d left, 

    you 
    could run, 
    you can't 
    hide, 

    you could 
    pay the 
    wise 
    guys 

    But 
    even 
    Jesus 
    Christ 
    got crucified, 

    why? 

    Cause 
    everybody 
    got 
    a snitch 

    and 
    they click 
    Judah 

    Saw 
    the affidavits 
    with 
    your name 
    on it, 
    traitor 

    I 
    should've 
    known 
    that you 

    was wired 
    up 

    the way 
    that you 
    was fired 
    up 

    When we 
    count 
    the cash 

    and bundled 
    it 
    up 

    Yeah, 
    and 
    when we 
    hit 
    the road 

    in the 
    U 
    -Haul truck 

    You 
    told me 
    you was 
    on the 
    phone 

    with your 
    cousin Chuck 

    Then 
    later 
    found 
    out 
    that it 

    wasn't 
    your 
    cousin 

    You 
    had 
    me on

    He got 
    the Johnny 
    Cash 
    gun 

    He 
    shot 
    him at

    him die 

    And

    He

    come home, 

    he

    the toxic 
    way 

    So

    He

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
