    • Verse 1
    In 
    the 
    year 
    43 mamma 

    fin
    ished 
    feeding 
    me 

    And 
    quickly 
    rushed 
    off 
    to 
    her 
    job 

    At 
    War
    thin’s bag 
    mill 

    But 
    at 
    fourth 
    and 
    Monroe 
    Street 

    A failing 
    heart 
    stopped 
    her 

    within 
    feet 

    And mamma 
    gave 
    up 
    the 
    breath 
    of 
    life 

    In 
    the town 
    of 
    Nashville 

    Daddy 
    was 
    Verse 2
    in 
    the county 
    jail 

    So, 
    my 
    older 
    sister 
    Nell 

    Verse 3
    Took 
    a job 
    at 
    a 
    tavern 

    That 
    some 
    folks 
    call 
    the trash 
    mill 

    And 
    though 
    the Wel
    fare 
    agency 

    Offered 
    help, 
    she smiled 
    at 
    me 

    And 
    said 
    thanks, 
    but 
    we’ll get 
    by 

    In 
    the 
    town 
    of 
    Nashville 

    Verse 4
    *** Key change 
    on video 
    capo 2 to play 
    chords 

    below 
    *** 

    Verse 5
    As a baby 
    I 
    went 
    to school 

    Perched 
    up 
    high 
    on 
    a tavern 
    stool 

    Listening 
    to 
    the songs 
    on 
    the 
    jukebox 

    At 
    the trash 
    mill 

    And 
    the 
    hurtin 
    in 
    those 
    sad 
    old 
    song
    s 

    Settle 
    down 
    in 
    a poor 
    boy’s bones 

    And 
    I 
    vowed 
    I 
    someday 
    sing 

    and 
    play 
    in 
    Nashville 

    Verse 6
    So, 
    my 
    older 
    sister 
    Nell 

    Like 
    a 
    true- 
    blue 
    southern 
    bell 

    Bought 
    me 
    a second 
    handed 
    guitar 

    From 
    the Nashville 
    goodwill 

    Heaven 
    would 
    smile 
    and 
    bells 
    would 
    ring 

    When 
    I 
    touched 
    those 
    shiny 
    strings 

    And 
    I 
    was 
    the 
    richest 
    poor 
    boy 

    In 
    the town 
    of 
    Nashville 

    Verse 7
    *** Key change on 
    video capo 
    3 to 

    play 
    chords below 
    *** 

    Verse 8
    There’s a chill 
    down 
    in 
    my 
    bones 

    As 
    it’s my 
    time 
    to 
    go 
    home 

    And 
    I’m sure 
    the good 
    Lord 
    knows 

    Just 
    how 
    I 
    feel 

    Though 
    the calling 
    near 
    a star 

    I 
    can’t
    forget 
    about 
    my 
    first 
    gui
    tar 

    And 
    the woman 
    who 
    helped 
    me 
    make 
    it 
    big 

    In 
    the town 
    of 
    Nashville 

    Yes, 
    my 
    older 
    Verse 9
    sister

    Like 
    a 
    true-

    me 
    a second 
    handed 
    guitar

    Heaven 
    would 
    smile 
    and 
    bells 
    would 
    ring 

    When 
    I 
    touched 
    those 
    shiny 
    strings 

    And 
    I

    poor 
    boy

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
