    Verse 1
    (Ry 
    Cooder) 

    Verse 2
    Hey, mama, 
    don't 
    you 
    treat 

    your 
    daughter 
    mean 

    Hey, 
    mama, 
    don't 
    you treat 

    your 
    daughter 
    mean 

    'Cause 
    you 
    treat 
    her 
    so 
    mean 
    and 

    she's 
    only 
    sweet 
    six
    teen 

    Verse 3

    It 
    was late 
    last 
    Friday 
    evening, 

    when 
    everything 
    was 
    still 

    heard 
    somebody 
    calling 
    my 

    name 
    outside 
    my 
    window 
    sill 

    got 
    up 
    and 
    I looked 
    outside 

    strainin' 
    my 
    eyes 
    to 
    see 

    And 
    my 
    heart 
    went 
    wild 
    when 

    I realized 
    just 
    who 
    was 
    calling 
    me 

    Verse 4
    hollered 

    Hey, 
    mama, 
    don't 
    you 
    treat 

    your 
    daughter 
    mean 

    Hey, 
    mama, 
    don't 
    you 
    treat 
    your 

    daughter 
    mean 

    'Cause you 
    treat 
    her 
    so 
    mean 
    and 

    she's 
    only 
    sweet 
    six
    teen 

    Verse 5

    Now, 
    her eyes 
    were blazing 
    up 
    at 
    me 

    Her 
    hair 
    was 
    black 
    as 
    night 

    And her 
    naked 
    skin 
    shone 
    like 
    gold 

    Out 
    in 
    the 
    pale 
    moonlight 

    She 
    took 
    my 
    hand 
    and 
    she 

    pulled 
    me 
    down 

    Where 
    the grass 
    had 
    grown 
    up 
    tall 

    The she 
    moved 
    her 
    body 
    all 
    around 

    Verse 6
    Just 
    like 
    cannon 
    ball 

    Hey, 
    mama, 

    don't you treat 
    your 
    daughter 
    mean 

    Hey, 
    mama, 
    don't you 
    treat 

    your 
    daughter 
    mean 

    'Cause 
    you treat 
    her 
    so 
    mean 

    and she's 
    only 
    sweet 
    six
    teen 

    Verse 7

    Yonder 
    comes 
    your 
    mama, 
    girl, 

    'cross 
    the 
    field 

    Runnin' 
    and 
    a-shakin' like 

    like 
    an 
    auto
    mobile 

    Daddy's 
    got 
    a shotgun 
    in 
    his 
    hand 

    They 
    just 
    don't 
    under
    stand 

    The 
    first 
    time 
    I seen 
    that sweet 
    girl 

    She 
    was 
    runnin' 
    home 
    from 

    Sunday 
    school 

    And the next 
    time 
    I seen 

    that sweet 
    little 
    girl 

    Was 
    when 
    she 
    broke 
    her 
    mama's 
    rule 

    But 
    the last 
    time 
    I seen 
    that 
    sweet 
    little 
    girl 

    She 
    was filled 
    with 
    a strange 
    desire 

    Rollin' 
    and 
    tumblin' 
    out 
    on 

    the cold 
    wet 
    ground 

    Her skin 
    burnin' 
    up 
    just 
    like 
    a cane 
    fire 

    She 
    called 
    my 
    name 
    thousand 
    ways 

    The 
    tears 
    came 
    streaming 
    down 
    her 
    face 

    But 
    just 
    when 
    was 
    'bout 

    to 
    blow 
    my 
    stack 

    Her 
    daddy 
    came 
    a-creepin' 
    and 

    and a-crawlin' up 
    up 
    behind 

    And he 
    shot 
    me 
    in 
    the 
    back

    • 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.
