    D
    G

    The sound that you're listening to
    D
    A
    D

    Is from my guitar that's named
    A
    D

    Lucille

    I'm very crazy about Lucille,
    G
    D
    G
    D

    Lucille took me from the plantation
    A
    D
    A
    D
    A

    Or you might say, brought me fame
    G

    I don't think I could just talk enough
    D

    about Lucille
    G

    Sometime when I'm blue seem like Lucille
    D

    try to help me call my name
    A
    Verse 2
    D

    A

    I used to sing spirituals and
    G

    I thought that this
    A

    Was the thing that I wanted
    D

    to do
    G
    D
    G
    D

    But somehow or other When I went in the army I picked up on Lucille,
    A
    D

    and started the singing blues
    A
    D
    Verse 3
    A

    G
    D
    A

    Well, now when I'm paying my dues,

    G

    Maybe you don't know what I mean when I say paying dues,
    D
    A
    D

    I mean when things are bad with me
    A
    G

    I can always, I can always, you know like,
    D

    depend on Lucille
    Interlude 1
    D
    G
    D

    Verse 4
    D

    Sort of hard to talk to you myself
    A
    D

    I guess I'll let Lu cille say a few words

    A
    D
    A
    G
    D

    Verse 5
    G

    You know,
    D
    A
    D

    I doubt if you can feel it like I do

    But when I think about the things
    G

    that I've gone through,
    D
    A

    Like, well for instance,
    D
    A
    D

    if I have a girlfriend and she misuses me,
    G

    And I go home at night,
    D
    G

    maybe I'm lonely
    D

    Well not maybe, I am lonely,
    A

    I pick up Lucille
    D
    A
    G

    And it bring out those funny sounds that sound good to me,
    D

    you know?
    G
    A

    Sometime I get to the place where
    D
    A
    D

    I can't even say nothing
    A
    D
    G
    D
    A

    Look out

    G
    D

    like Frank Sinatra or,

    Sammy Davis Junior,
    G
    D
    A
    D

    I don't think I still could do it,

    'Cause Lucille don't wanna
    A

    play nothing but the blues
    G

    And I think I'm,
    D

    I think I'm pretty glad about that
    G

    • 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.
