Long John (Long Gone) chords by 
Paul Clayton
N/A•
Verse 1
D
Now this is a story about
old Long John.
Seems the sheriff had some
new bloodhounds
he wanted to try out.
So he took old Long John out of jail.
Gave him half an hour's head start.
Well, old John, he just started running.
Got down to the old creek,
he waded through it.
Then he just reached in his pocket,
and he pulled him out a pair
of shoes he'd got hid.
They had a heel in front,
and they had a heel behind.
Now they couldn't quite tell
which way old John was going.
So they never did find them,
I reckon they're still huntin'
I'm long gone, I'm long gone
Like a turkey through the corn
With my long clothes on
With my long clothes on
With my long clothes on
Well, if I had listened
To what Mother said I'd
have been sleepin'
In a feather bed, but I didn't listen
I just rambled about,
and now I'm in jail
With my teeth poked out
I'm long gone, I'm long gone
Like a turkey through the corn
With my long clothes on
With my long clothes on
Well, the sheriff said, John,
how fast can you run
I can lose your hound
before the sun goes down
I had a heel in front, I had a heel behind
You couldn't quite tell
if I was coming or going
I'm long gone
I'm long gone, I'm long gone.
Like a turkey through the corn,
like a turkey through the corn.
With my long clothes on,
with my long clothes on.
With my long clothes on,
with my long clothes on.
Well the sun went down,
well the sun went down.
And the hounds came back,
and the hounds came back.
They couldn't quite follow,
couldn't quite follow.
Old Long John's track,
old Long John's track.
So it's now I'm at home,
in a feathered bed
All the hounds in that prison
are a -hangin' their heads
I'm long gone, I'm long gone
Like a turkey through the corn
With my long clothes on
With my long clothes on
D
With my long clothes on

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

“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.
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.”
