    Hey,

    -a -look -a 
    yonder, 

    what 
    in the 
    world 
    do you see? 

    That 
    midnight 
    spe
    cial 

    with 
    its 
    light 
    on 
    thee. 

    Let

    At 
    the 
    midnight 
    special, 

    shine it's 
    ever 
    -loving 
    light 
    on me 

    If

    ever 
    go to 
    Houston, 
    Al, 

    you 
    better 
    walk 
    right 

    Oh, 
    you 
    better not 
    stagger, 

    and 
    you 
    better 
    not 
    fight 

    The 
    sheriff 
    will 
    arrest 
    you, 

    and 
    he'll take 
    you down 

    You 
    bet your 
    bottom 
    dol
    lar 

    that 
    you're 
    jailhouse 
    bound 



    Then 
    you 
    wake 
    up in the 
    morning, 

    hear 
    the ding 
    -dong 
    ring 

    Go 
    march 
    to 
    the table, 

    see 
    the 
    same 
    old 
    thing 

    On 
    the 
    table is 
    a 
    knife, 
    fork and 
    a pan 

    Say 
    anything 
    about 
    it, 

    you'll 
    have 
    trouble 
    with the 
    man 

    Let 
    the midnight 
    spe
    cial 

    shine 
    its 
    light 
    on 
    me 

    Let 
    the midnight 
    spe
    cial 

    shine 
    its 
    ever 
    -loving 
    light 

    on me 


    Young 
    comes 
    Dr. 
    Melton, 

    I'm 
    the 
    world 
    do I 
    know 

    He 
    gave 
    me a 
    tablet 

    three 
    or four 
    days 
    ago 

    There 
    never 
    was 
    a doctor 

    to 
    travel 
    my 
    land 

    That 
    could 
    cure 
    a fever 

    of 
    a 
    convict 
    man 

    Let 
    the 
    midnight 
    spe
    cial, 

    shines 
    a light 
    on 
    me 

    That 
    midnight 
    special 

    shines 
    ever 
    loving 
    light on 
    me 

    Hey 
    look 
    a look 
    a 
    yonder 

    what 
    in the 
    world 
    do I 
    see 

    I 
    see 
    my 
    baby 
    com
    ing 
    after 
    me 

    Well 
    she 
    brought 
    a little 
    cof
    fee 

    and 
    she 
    brought a 
    little 
    tea 

    She 
    brought 
    me 
    everything 

    but 
    that 
    jailhouse 
    key 

    Let 
    the 
    midnight 
    special 

    shine 
    its 
    light 
    on 
    me 

    Let 
    the 
    midnight 
    spe
    cial 

    shine 
    its ever 
    -loving 
    light 
    on 
    me 
    you

      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.
