    it'll 
    all 
    be 
    over 

    before 
    we 
    reach 

    Tennessee. 

    But 
    one 
    mile 
    out 
    on 
    that 
    foggy, 

    foggy 
    morning, 

    he 
    looked 
    toward 

    New 

    Orleans. 

    And 
    way 
    up 
    front 
    was 
    the 

    paddle 
    wheel 

    churning 
    on 
    the 

    Mississippi 

    Delta 

    Queen. 


    Two 
    miles 
    south 
    of 

    Natchez, 

    Mississippi, 
    the 
    robber 

    Lee 
    ran 
    aground, 
    skipper 
    said 
    I'll 

    have 
    to 
    go 
    with 
    her 
    if 
    the 
    robber 

    Lee 
    goes 
    down, 
    now 
    the 

    Missis
    sippi 

    River 
    ain't 
    no 
    place 

    to be 
    on 
    cold 
    and 
    foggy 
    morn 

    But 
    above 
    all 
    the screaming 

    and 
    the 
    cries 
    of 
    doom 

    came 
    the 
    sound 
    of 
    paddle 

    wheel 
    horn 

    Someone 
    cried, 
    look 
    up 
    to 
    the 

    Mississippi 

    think 
    see 
    the 
    crown 
    of 
    queen 

    do 
    believe 
    we'll 
    all 
    be 
    saved 
    by 

    the 

    Mississippi 

    Delta 

    Queen 

    Skipper 
    said, 
    uh 
    -huh 

    Look 
    up 
    the 

    Mississippi, 
    finest 
    sight 
    I've 
    ever

    He 
    said, 
    uh 
    -huh, 

    there 
    ain't 
    finer 
    lady 
    than 
    the 

    Mississippi 

    Desert 

    Queen 


    The 
    captain 
    brought 
    the 

    Queen 
    behind 

    Robin 
    and 
    pushed 
    him 
    into 

    New 

    Orleans 

    The 
    people 
    cheered 
    the 
    first 
    one

    the 
    levee, 

    the 
    good 
    ship

    Lee 

    The 
    mayors 
    said 
    it 
    looked 
    like

    But 
    the 
    skipper 
    cried, 
    hold 
    on, 

    the 
    real 
    winner 
    is 
    the 

    Mississippi 

    Delta 

    Queen 

    He 
    said, 
    I'd 
    like 
    to 
    steal 
    her 
    cause 
    there 

    ain't 
    paddle 
    wheeler 
    like 
    the 

    Mississippi 

    Delta 

    Queen 

    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.
