    My 
    parents 
    raised 
    me 
    tenderly, 

    I 
    was 
    their 
    only 
    one 

    My 
    mind 
    got 
    mixed 
    with 
    rambling 

    when 
    I 
    was 
    all 
    so 
    young 

    I 
    left 
    my 
    home 
    the 
    first 
    time 

    when 
    I 
    was 
    twelve 
    and 
    one 

    And 
    I'm 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    in 
    a 
    common 
    maw, 

    I'll 
    be 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    gone 

    I 
    remember 
    when 
    I 
    was 
    ramblin' 

    around 
    the 
    carnival 
    trains 

    Different 
    towns, 
    different 
    people, 

    somehow 
    they're 
    all 
    the 
    same 

    I 
    remember 
    children's 
    faces 
    best, 

    I 
    remem
    ber 
    travelin' 
    on 

    And 
    I'm 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    in 
    a 
    comin', 

    I 
    won't 
    be 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    gone 

    Many 
    times 
    by 
    the 
    highway 
    side 

    I 
    tried 
    the 
    flag 
    a 
    ride 

    With 
    bloodshot 
    eyes 
    and 
    gritting 
    teeth 

    I 
    watched 
    the 
    cars 
    roll 
    by 

    I 
    banged 
    my 
    head 
    against 
    the 
    wind 

    and 
    shouted 
    at 
    a 
    stone 

    And 
    I'm 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    in 
    a 
    coming 

    and 
    I'll 
    be 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    gone 

    You 
    might 
    see 
    me 
    on 
    your 
    crossroads 

    when 
    I 
    am 
    passing 
    through 

    Remember 
    me 
    how 
    you 
    wish 
    to, 

    as 
    I'm 
    drifting 
    from 
    your 
    view 

    I 
    ain't 
    got 
    time 
    to 
    think 
    about 
    it, 

    I 
    got 
    too 
    much 
    to 
    get 
    done 

    Well 
    I'm 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    in 
    a 
    coming, 

    and 
    I'll 
    be 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    gone 

    If 
    I 
    can't 
    help 
    somebody 

    with 
    a 
    word 
    or 
    a 
    song 

    If 
    I 
    can't 
    show 
    somebody, 

    they 
    are 
    a 
    -trav
    elin' 
    wrong 

    But 
    I 
    know 
    I 
    ain't 
    no 
    prophet, 

    and 
    I 
    ain't 
    no 
    prophet's 
    son 

    I'm 
    just 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    incomer 

    and 
    I'll 
    be 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    gone 

    So 
    you 
    can 
    have 
    your 
    beauty, 

    it's 
    skin 
    deep 
    and 
    it 
    only 
    last
    s 

    And 
    you 
    can 
    have 
    your 
    youth, 

    it'll 
    rot 
    before 
    your 
    eye
    s 

    Just 
    give 
    to 
    me 
    my 
    gravestone 

    with 
    it 
    clearly 
    carved 
    upon 

    And 
    there's 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    in 
    a 
    coming 

    and 
    I'll 
    be 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    gone 

    My 
    parents 
    raised 
    me 
    tenderly, 

    I 
    was 
    their 
    only 
    one 

    My 
    mind 
    got 
    mixed 
    with 
    ramblin' 

    when 
    I 
    was 
    all 
    so 
    young 

    I 
    left 
    my 
    home 
    the 
    first 
    time 

    when 
    I 
    was 
    twelve 
    an
    d 
    one 

    And 
    I'm 
    a 
    -long 
    time 
    in 
    a 
    -comin' 
    more 

    and 
    I'll 
    be 
    a 
    -long 
    time 
    gone 

    I'm 
    a 
    -long

      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 🙂

      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.
