    Verse 1
    Let 
    me tell 

    you 
    the 
    tale 
    of 
    Medicine 
    Jack 

    He 
    went 
    out 
    in 
    the 
    woods 
    and 

    he 
    never 
    came 
    back 

    Equipped 
    with 
    a stick 

    and 
    a 
    big 
    old 
    sack 

    He 
    went 
    too 
    close 
    to 
    the railroad 
    track 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    You 
    know what 

    they 
    say 
    about 
    Medicine 
    Jack 

    He 
    lived 
    his 
    life 
    in a 
    rolldown shack, 

    The wind 
    a- screeching 

    through 
    the cracks 

    And 
    the sound 
    of 
    the trains 
    from 
    the 

    rail
    road 
    track

    Interlude 2


    Verse 3
    Well 
    here's 
    the 
    truth 
    about 

    Medicine 
    Jack 

    He painted 
    his 
    face 
    and 

    his 
    whole 
    shack 
    black 

    He 
    went 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    woods 

    and 
    he 
    never 
    came 
    back 

    He 
    must 
    have 
    got 
    too 
    close 
    to 
    the 

    Interlude 3
    railroad 
    track 


    Verse 4
    Did 
    you see 
    him 
    on 
    that 
    fateful 
    night? 

    Did 
    you see 
    his 
    grizzly 

    face 
    in 
    the torchlight? 

    Did 
    you see 
    him 
    crawling 

    down 
    among 
    the 
    trees 

    And 
    getting 
    scabs 
    on 
    his 
    hands 
    and 
    knees? 

    Did 
    you see 
    the 
    demise 
    of 
    Medicine 
    Jack 

    His 
    pitiful 
    face 
    still 
    painted 
    black 

    Just 
    a spit 
    and 
    a stride 
    from 

    the 
    rolldown shack 

    Down 
    on 
    by 
    the 
    rail
    road 

    track? 

    Don't 
    turn 
    your 
    back 
    on 
    Medicine 
    Jack! 

    Interlude 4

    Verse 5
    I was 
    thinking 
    about 
    the 

    ghost 
    of Medicine 
    Jack 

    On 
    starless 
    nights 
    when 
    the sky 
    is 
    black 

    I 
    can 
    hear 
    him 
    singing 
    those 

    deadman's 
    blues 

    And 
    whistling 
    down 
    by 

    the 
    railroad 
    track

      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

      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.
