    This 
    nine 
    pound 
    hammer,

    too 
    heavy 

    For 
    my 
    size, 
    baby, 
    for my 
    size 

    I'm 
    goin' 
    on 
    the mountain, 

    gonna 
    see 
    my 
    baby 

    But I 
    ain't comin' 
    back, 

    well, 
    I ain't 
    comin' 
    back 

    Verse 2
    Roll 
    on 
    buddy, 
    don't 
    you roll 
    so slow 

    Tell me, 
    how 
    can 
    I 
    roll, 

    when 
    the wheels 
    won't 
    go?

    on 
    buddy, 
    pull 
    a load 
    of 
    coal 

    Now, how 
    can 
    I 
    pull, 

    when

    won't 
    roll?

    Well,

    on 
    buddy, 
    pull 
    your load 
    of 
    coal 

    Tell me, 
    how

    • 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.”
