Verse 1
D
A

She was born in an old Monason alley
D
A

Her ma and her pa they called her Sal
D
G

She grew up to be the pride of the valley
Em
G
D
A

A typical Monongahela gal
D
A
D

She wandered one day by the river,
A

and she watched the Jason steaming by.
D
G

Her heart gave a leap and a quiver,
Em
D

as she caught the handsome
A
D

pilot's rolling eye.

Now his name, you must know,
A

was Moat Stanley,
D
A

And he wore a fancy sporting coat.
D

He was tall, dark,
G

and handsome and manly,
D
A
D

The slickest pilot ever steered a boat.
A
D

Roll on, roll on Monongahela,
A

roll on to the Ohio,
D

roll on past Tallahassee,
G
Em

down to the Mississippi,
D

flare up to the Gulf of

Mex ico.
A
Em
A
D
A

Now Mote gave a toot,

honest whistle,
D

And the Jason churned the
A

water a hairless turn,
D
G

And Sal, stepping light as a thistle,
Em
D

Reached up and took Mote
A

Stanley's hand in hers.
D
A
D

It was love, careless love, by the river
A

It was love, careless love, by the shore
D

And I'm sure the good Lord
G

will forgive her
Em
D

For she never knew
A
Em
D

what love was like before
A
D
A

He swore that he always
Em
A
D

would love her,

As they locked through the
A

old Emsworth dam.
D
G

But that night overboard he did shove her,
Em
G
D

And then Moat Stanley
A
D

took it on the land.
A
D

Well, no one could say Sal was sickly
A

She didn't even take time out to bawl
D

But she high -tailed it right down for civically
G
Em
G
D
A

Slap pin' out a
A

fast Australian crawl
A
D

She hopped a fast freight for Rochester

And there was moat a

D
G

From a yard bull who tried to molest her
Em
G
D

She up and swiped
A
D

a great big .44 floor.
A
D

She raised up that big shooting iron,
A

and she fired six shots into moat.
D
G

And when she laid out that revolver,
D

she sure messed up that
A
D

fancy sporting coat.
A

Roll on, roll among the gila
D

where the catfish and the carp left
A
D

long ago you used to be so pure
G

but now you're just a sewer
D
A

messing up the Gulf of Mexico

  • 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.
