    Verse 1
    My 
    mama 
    always 
    told 
    me 

    better 
    than 
    to play 
    with 
    a loaded 
    gun 

    If 
    I'd've 
    just 
    listened 
    to 
    her 

    she'd've never 
    had 
    a prisoner 
    for 
    a son 

    The 
    picture's 
    still 
    in 
    front 
    of 
    my 

    eyes 
    the 
    echo 
    in 
    my 
    ears 

    When 
    the 
    jury 
    said 
    he's 
    guilty 
    and 

    the judge 
    said 
    ninety- 
    nine 
    years 

    Oh 
    for 
    ninety- 
    nine 
    years 
    I'll 
    watch 

    the sunrise 
    over 
    that 
    some 
    old 
    sea 

    Ninety- 
    nine 
    years 
    nothing 
    but 

    an 
    empty 
    cell 
    for 
    company 

    Yet 
    there's 
    not 
    very 
    much 
    that 
    stands 

    between 
    me 
    and 
    the 
    freedom 
    I 
    hold 
    dear 

    Just 
    a 
    thou
    sand 
    bars 
    a 
    big 
    brick 
    wall 

    and 
    a sentence 
    of 
    ninety- 
    nine 
    years 

    Verse 2
    I 
    kissed 
    my 
    darling 
    on 
    her 
    tender 

    lips 
    and 
    they 
    took 
    me 
    by 
    the 
    hand 

    I 
    had 
    a 
    nice 
    little 
    ride 
    on 
    a 
    ferry 
    boat 
    to 

    the 
    rock 
    where 
    the 
    prison 
    stands 

    The 
    warden 
    said 
    as 
    he 
    locked 
    the 

    door 
    I 
    hope 
    you'll 
    like 
    it 
    here 

    Just 
    make 
    yourself 
    a 
    home 
    you're 
    gonna 

    be 
    with 
    us 
    ninety- 
    nine 
    years 

    I've 
    almost 
    forgotten 
    what 
    my 
    real 
    name 

    is 
    been 
    a 
    number 
    for 
    so 
    long 

    Making 
    little 
    bitty 
    rocks 
    out 
    of 
    great 
    big 

    rocks 
    gets 
    old 
    as 
    the 
    days 
    wear 
    on 

    But 
    I'll 
    do 
    my 
    best 
    for 
    ninety- 
    nine 

    years 
    just 
    try 
    to 
    stay 
    alive 

    Cause 
    the 
    Governor 
    said 
    if 
    I'd 
    be 
    good 

    I'd 
    get 
    out 
    in 
    ninety- 
    five 

    Outro 1
    Oh for 
    ninety- 
    nine 
    years...

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
