    When 
    was 
    child, 

    my 
    family 
    would 
    travel 
    down 
    to 
    western 
    Kentucky 

    where 
    my 
    parents 
    were born. 

    There's 
    a backwoods 
    old 
    town 

    there 
    that's 
    often 
    remembered, 

    so 
    many 
    times 
    that 
    my 

    memories 
    are 
    worn. 

    And 
    daddy, 
    won't 
    you take 
    me 
    back 

    to 
    Muhlenberg 
    County 

    Down 
    by 
    the 
    green 
    river 

    where 
    paradise 
    lays 

    I'm 
    sorry 
    my 
    son, 

    but 
    you're too 
    late 
    in askin' 

    Mr. 
    Peabody's 
    coal 
    train 

    has 
    hauled 
    it 
    away 

    Sometimes 
    we'd 
    float 
    on 

    down 
    the Green 
    River 

    By 
    the 
    old 
    abandoned 
    prison 

    down 
    by 
    Adria 
    Hill 

    Where 
    the air 
    smelled 
    like 
    snakes 

    and 
    we'd 
    shoot with 
    our 
    pistols 

    But 
    empty 
    pop 
    bottles 

    was 
    all 
    we 
    would 
    kill 

    Then 
    Daddy 
    won't 
    you take 
    me 
    back 

    to 
    Muhlenberg 
    County 

    Down 
    by 
    the 
    Green 
    River 

    where 
    paradise 
    lay 

    I'm 
    sorry, 
    my son, 

    but 
    you're too 
    late 
    in 
    asking 

    Mr. 
    Peabody's 
    coal 
    trans

    ported 
    away 

    Then 
    the coal 
    company 
    came 
    with 

    the world's 
    largest 
    shovel 

    They 
    tortured 
    the 
    timber 

    and 
    stripped 
    all 
    the 
    land 

    They 
    dug 
    for 
    the coal 

    till 
    the land 
    was 
    forsaken 

    And 
    wrote 
    it 
    all 
    down 
    to 

    the pro
    gress 
    of 
    man 

    And 
    daddy, 
    won't 
    you take 
    me 
    back 

    to 
    Muhlenberg 
    County 

    Down 
    by 
    the 
    green 
    river 

    where 
    paradise 
    lay 

    I'm 
    sorry 
    my 
    son, 

    but 
    you're 
    too late 
    in 
    asking 

    Mr. 
    Peabody's 
    coal 
    train 
    has 

    hauled 
    it 
    away 

    When 
    die, 
    let 
    my 
    ashes 
    flow 
    on 

    down 
    the Green 
    River 

    Let 
    my 
    soul 
    roll 
    on 
    up 
    to 

    the Rochester 
    Dales 

    I'll 
    be halfway 
    to 
    heaven 

    with 
    paradise 
    waiting 

    Just 
    five 
    miles 
    away 
    from 
    wherever 
    am 

    Then 
    daddy, 
    won't 
    you take 
    me 
    back 

    to 
    Muhlenberg 
    County 

    Down 
    by 
    the 
    green

    where 
    paradise

    my son, 

    but 
    you're too 
    late 
    in

    Mr. 
    Peabody's 
    cold 
    train 
    has 
    hauled 
    it 
    away 

    Mr. 
    Peabody's 
    cold 
    train 
    is 
    haunted 
    away 

    Mr. 
    Peabody's 
    cold 
    train 

    is 
    haunted 
    away

    • 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.
