    Verse 1
    Folk
    s, 

    I've 
    just been 
    down, 
    down 
    to 

    Memphis 
    town 

    That's 
    where 
    the 
    people 
    smile, 
    smile 

    on you 
    all 
    the while 

    Hospitality, 
    man, 
    it was good 
    to 
    me 

    couldn't 
    spend 
    a dime, 

    Hadn't 
    it rather's 
    time. 

    went 
    out 
    -dancin' 
    with 

    Tennessee 
    deer, 

    Met 
    man 
    named 

    Handy 
    with 
    band 
    you 
    should 
    hear, 

    And 
    while 
    the 
    dancers 
    swayed, 

    All 
    the fellas 
    played 
    real 
    harmony. 

    never 
    will 
    forget 
    the 

    tune 
    they 
    call 
    the 

    Memphis 

    Blues. 

    They 
    got a 
    fiddler 
    there 
    who 
    always 
    slickens 
    his 
    hair, 

    folks 
    he 
    sure 
    does 
    pull 
    mean 
    blow. 

    And 
    when 
    the 
    big 
    bassoon 
    second

    to 
    the 
    trombone's 
    crew 

    It 
    moans 
    just 
    like 
    sinner 
    on 

    revival 
    day 

    That 
    melan
    choly 
    strain, 

    every 
    haunting 
    refrain 

    It's 
    like 
    southern 
    sorrow 
    song 

    Here 
    comes 
    the very 
    part 

    Wraps 
    spell 
    around 
    my 
    heart 

    It 
    set
    me 
    wild 

    To 
    hear 
    that 
    lovin' 
    tune 
    again 

    The 
    glyph 
    is 
    blue 

    Mis
    sissippi 

    River 

    Long, 
    deep, 
    and wide 

    Got 
    myself 
    a row
    boat 
    and 

    pulled 
    for the 
    other 
    side 

    An
    when 
    I heard 
    the 
    music 

    could 
    lay 
    it 
    right 
    down 
    and 
    die 

    Oh, 
    you 
    should 
    have heard 
    the 
    singing 

    Come 
    floating 
    out 
    across 

    the 
    tide 

    Get 
    on 
    your 
    fanciest 
    dancing 
    shoes 
    an

    ask 
    the 
    leader 
    to 
    play 
    the 
    blues, 
    the 

    -E 
    -N 
    -P 
    -H 
    -I 
    -S 

    Boy, 
    I'm 
    in 
    the 

    Memphis 
    blues 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    I'm 
    in 
    the 

    Memphis 
    blues 
    and 
    blues 

    Thank 
    you, 
    Ella. 

    Verse 3
    Thank 
    you, 

    folks. 

    Thanks 
    also 
    to 
    the 

    Firehouse 

    Five, 
    too, 

    for some 
    mighty 
    fine 
    blasting 
    there.

    • 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.
