    Verse 1
    Well, 
    judge looked down, gave me forty days 


    In
    stead of the fine that I could not pay 

    Said 
    walk 
    right, 
    you'll 
    soon 
    be 
    home 

    Cross 
    the 
    line 
    and 
    you're 
    on 
    your 
    own 

    Chorus 1
    Forty 
    days 

    of 
    shotguns 
    and 
    barbed 
    wire 
    fences 


    Forty nights 
    to 
    sit 
    and 
    listen, 

    to 
    the 
    midnight 
    train 
    to 
    Memphis 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 2
    Well 
    now, 
    whistle 
    blows 

    when 
    the 
    sun 
    comes 
    up 

    Head 
    to 
    floor, 

    keep 
    your 
    big 
    mouth 
    shut 

    Eat 
    your 
    breakfast 
    on 
    the 
    ground 

    Work 
    like 
    hell 
    'til 
    the 
    sun 
    goes 
    down 

    Chorus 2
    Forty 
    days 

    of 
    shotguns 
    and 
    barbed 
    wire 
    fences 


    Forty 
    nights 
    to 
    sit 
    and 
    listen, 

    to 
    the 
    midnight 
    train 
    to 
    Memphis 

    Interlude 2





    Verse 3
    Well 
    now, 
    10 
    for 
    the 
    jury, 

    10 
    for 
    the 
    judge 

    20 
    more 
    to 
    forget 
    my 
    grudge 

    When 
    get 
    to 
    39 

    That's 
    the 
    longest 
    day 

    in 
    prisoner's 
    mind 

    Chorus 3
    Forty 
    days 

    of 
    shotguns 
    and 
    barbed 
    wire 
    fences 


    Forty 
    nights 
    to 
    sit 
    and 
    listen, 

    to 
    the 
    midnight 
    train 
    to 
    Memphis

    • 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.
