Verse 1
D

Mama hated diesels so bad I guess I

knew it was something to do with

Dad
G

The first I ever seen her cry was after
D
Bm

one of them things went by
D
G
D

Mama hated diesel so bad

I remember here,
G
D

those semis year and date

My mom and me,
A

we lived right on the high
G

grade end of town I sure liked

them white

Freightliners, but
D

But there was something

in mama's eye

When she'd catch me

watchin' the road
A
D

Lord, a little bitty piece of her die

Mama hated diesel so bad

I guess I knew it was

somethin' to do with

Dad
G

The first I ever seen her cry was after
D
Bm
D

one of them things went bad
G
D

Mama hated diesel so bad

As the years passed and I grew old,
G

Mama did too
D

Pretty soon she stopped

singing and laughing

While she'd hardly even eaten

And I began staying away from
A

home on the weekdays

I would come home from
G

school till way past dark

I was too busy having some kind of fun,
D

either messing around with some gal or hanging around

the local truck stop,

talking to my buddies about all the big rigs they're all the time

rolling in, and talking about all the crazy
A

places we've never been, like
D

California.

But one day the county sheriff come up to me,
G

he said they found my momma wandering

all by herself in the middle of
D

the highway crying.

She was tryin' of all things,

Lord, to flag down one of them big old
A

rigs with a pocket handkerchief
G

Well, that left me on my own
D
G

I got a job unloadin' rigs down

at the local freight yard
D

Pretty soon I had a rig of my own

And I left my hometown on

my very first run to

Frisco

Well, that was three years ago today
A

And I ain't been back home

in all that time since then

Till now
D

Now it's me and the local preacher
G
D

Standin' in the graveyard grass

Starin' down at the highway
A

Watchin' those big boys pass
G

Well he laid his hand upon me
D

And he prayed for quite some time

That I could barely understand

the words he said
A
D

Behind that highway swine

Then he handed me a faded photograph
G
D

He said he found it in my mama's hand

He said, son,

I'm afraid that you in this picture
A

Was the be st your mama ever had
G

Well, I looked down at that picture,

it was
D

Mama and some guy

Standin' in front of a semi -truck,
A
D

just merry -painted on the side

Mama hated diesel so bad
A
D

I guess I knew it was

somethin' to do with

Dad
G

The first I ever seen her cry
D

Was after one of them
Bm
D

fangs went by
G
D

Mama hated diesel so bad
G

Mama, hated diesels so bad
D

  • 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.
