    Verse 1
    was 
    eight 
    years 
    old 

    And 
    running 
    with 

    dime 
    in 
    my 
    hand 

    To 
    the 
    bus 
    stop 
    to 
    pick 

    Up 
    paper 
    for 
    my 
    old 
    man 

    I'd 
    sit 
    on 
    his 
    lap 

    in 
    that 
    big 
    old 
    Buick 

    And 
    steer 
    as 
    we 
    drove 
    through 
    town 

    He'd 
    tousle 
    my 
    hair 

    And 
    say, 
    "son, 
    take 
    good 
    look 
    a
    round" 

    Chorus 1
    This 
    is 
    your 
    hometown 

    This 
    is 
    your 
    home
    town 

    This 
    is 
    your 
    hometown 

    This 
    is 
    your 
    home
    town 


    Verse 2
    In 
    '65 
    tension 
    was 
    running 
    high 

    At 
    my 
    high 
    school 

    There 
    was 
    lot 
    of 
    fights 

    Between 
    the 
    black 
    and 
    white 

    There 
    was 
    nothing 
    you 
    could 
    do 

    Two 
    cars 
    at 
    light 
    on 
    Saturday 
    night 

    In 
    the 
    back 
    seat 
    there 
    was 
    gun 

    Words 
    were 
    passed 

    in 
    shotgun 
    blast 

    Troubled 
    times 
    had 
    come 

    Chorus 2
    To 
    my 
    hometown 

    To 
    my 
    home
    town 

    To 
    my 
    hometown 

    To 
    my 
    home
    town 


    Bridge 1
    Now 
    Main 
    Street's 
    whitewashed 
    windows 

    And 
    vacant 
    stores 

    Seems 
    like 
    there 
    ain't 
    nobody 

    Wants 
    to 
    come 
    down 
    here 
    no 
    more 

    They're 
    closing 
    down 
    the 
    textile 
    mill 

    A
    cross 
    the 
    railroad 
    tracks 

    Foreman 
    says, 
    "these 
    jobs 
    are 
    going, 
    boys 

    And 
    they 
    ain't 
    coming 
    back 

    Chorus 3
    To 
    your 
    hometown 

    To 
    your 
    home
    town 

    To 
    your 
    hometown 

    To 
    your 
    home
    town 


    Verse 3
    Last 
    night 
    me 
    and 
    Kate 

    we 
    laid 
    in 
    bed 

    Talk
    ing 
    'bout 
    getting 
    out 

    Packing 
    up 
    our 
    bags, 
    maybe 
    hea
    ding 
    south 

    I'm

    we 
    got 
    boy 
    of 
    our 
    own 
    now 

    Last 
    night 
    sat 
    him 
    up 
    be
    hind 
    the 
    wheel 

    And 
    said, 
    "son, 
    take 
    good 
    look 
    a
    round 

    Outro 1
    This 
    is 
    your 
    hometown

    • 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.
