Key: A major•BPM: 150
Intro 1
G
D
G
Verse 1
G
My mama always told me
D
better than to play with a loaded gun
If I'd've just listened to her
G
she'd've never had a prisoner for a son
The picture's still in front of my
C
G
eyes the echo in my ears
D
When the jury said he's guilty and
G
the judge said ninety- nine years
Oh for ninety- nine years I'll watch
D
the sunrise over that some old sea
Ninety- nine years nothing but
G
an empty cell for company
Yet there's not very much that stands
C
G
between me and the freedom I hold dear
D
Just a thousand bars a big brick wall
G
and a sentence of ninety- nine years
Verse 2
G
I kissed my darling on her tender
D
lips and they took me by the hand
I had a nice little ride on a ferry boat to
G
the rock where the prison stands
The warden said as he locked the
C
G
door I hope you'll like it here
D
Just make yourself a home you're gonna
G
be with us ninety- nine years
I've almost forgotten what my real name
D
is been a number for so long
Making little bitty rocks out of great big
G
rocks gets old as the days wear on
But I'll do my best for ninety- nine
C
G
years just try to stay alive
D
Cause the Governor said if I'd be good
G
I'd get out in ninety- five
Outro 1
Oh for ninety- nine years...

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
