    Verse 1
    I give 
    my 
    woman 
    half 
    my 

    money 
    at 
    the 
    general 
    store 

    I said, 
    now 
    buy 
    little 
    groceries, 

    and 
    don't 
    spend 
    no 
    more 

    But she 
    paid 
    ten 
    dollars 
    for 
    a ten- 
    cent 
    hat 

    And 
    bought 
    some store- 
    bought 
    cat 

    Verse 2
    food 
    for a mean- 
    eyed cat 

    When I give 
    her ten more 
    dollars for a 

    one- way ticket 

    She was mad 
    as could be 

    Then I bet ten 
    more that if 

    she ever left 

    She'd come a- 
    crawlin' back 
    to me 

    Verse 3
    When 
    I woke 
    up 
    this 
    mornin' 

    and 
    I turned 
    my 
    head 

    There 
    wasn't 
    a cotton- 
    pickin' 

    thing 
    on 
    her 
    side 
    of 
    the bed 

    found 
    a little 
    note 
    where 

    her 
    head 
    belonged 

    It said, 
    dear 
    John, 
    honey, 

    baby, 
    I'm 
    long 
    gone 

    Verse 4

    When 
    I heard 
    a whistle 
    blowin', 

    and 
    the 
    big 
    wheels 
    a- 
    turnin' 

    was 
    scared 
    as 
    could 
    be 

    I put 
    on 
    my 
    overalls 
    and 

    headed 
    for town 

    Gonna 
    bring 
    her 
    back 
    with 
    me 

    Verse 5

    I asked 
    the man 
    down 
    at 
    the station 

    if 
    he'd 
    seen 
    her 
    there 

    told 
    him 
    all 
    about 
    her 
    pretty 
    eyes 
    and 
    long, 

    blonde 
    hair 

    He spit 
    his 
    tobacco, 
    said, 
    I'll 
    be 
    dad- 
    blamed 

    believe 
    I did 
    see 
    her leavin' 

    on 
    the 
    Eastbound 
    train 

    Verse 6

    bought 
    a round- 
    trip 
    ticket 

    on 
    the 
    Eastbound 
    train 

    was 
    broke 
    as 
    could 
    be 

    But 
    when I 
    come 
    back, 

    gotta 
    buy 
    another 
    ticket 

    Gotta 
    bring 
    her 
    back 
    with 
    me

    • 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.
