    Verse 1
    Stand 
    down 
    the 

    blacktop at 
    a cold 
    dark 
    night, 
    boy 

    Pitch 
    black 
    skies 
    there 
    ain't 
    a star 
    in 
    sight 

    But 
    I'm 
    look
    ing 
    for 
    change 

    I'm 
    passing 
    through 
    Memphis 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    Whitewashed 
    buildings 
    and 

    old 
    overgrown 
    yards 

    I've 
    got 
    one 
    hand 
    on 
    the wheel, 

    I've got 
    one 
    on 
    my 
    heart 

    Looking 
    for 
    a girl 
    without 
    name 

    I'm 
    passing 
    through 
    Memphis 

    in 
    the 
    rain 

    But no 
    matter 
    what 
    do, 
    Lord, 

    can
    't 
    stop 

    Gotta 
    keep 
    that 
    hammer 
    to 
    the 
    floor 
    baby 

    Until 
    I'm 
    clear 
    out 
    of 
    Arkansas 
    mama 

    'Cause 
    know 
    what 
    they 
    can 
    do 
    to me 

    Lord 
    and 
    won't 
    let 
    them 

    make 
    a fool 
    out 
    of 
    me 

    Things 
    are 
    start
    ing 
    to 
    get 
    strange 

    Passing 
    through 
    Memphis 
    in 
    the 
    rain 



    Sometimes 
    a man's 
    just 

    gotta 
    know 
    when 
    to 
    go 

    He's 
    gotta 
    earn 
    himself 
    keepin' 

    He's 
    gotta 
    know 
    when 
    he's 
    been 
    beat 

    So 
    called 
    a cousin 
    down 
    in Hou
    ston 

    He 
    said 
    'come 
    on 
    down 
    boy, 

    we've 
    got 
    work 
    for 
    you 
    to 
    be 
    doing' 

    I'm 
    looking 
    for 
    a change 

    Passing 
    through 
    Memphis 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    Yeah 
    things 
    are 
    startin' 
    to 
    get 
    strange 

    I'm 
    passing 
    through Memphis 
    in the 
    rain 

    Oh 
    yeah

    • 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.
