    Verse 1
    Those 

    cotton 
    fields 
    were 
    hot 

    And 
    that tractor 
    never 
    was 

    my kind 
    of 
    liv
    in' 

    And 
    when I 
    hit sixteen 

    I had 
    my 
    size 
    and 
    I hit 
    the road 
    to 
    freedom 

    Verse 2
    And 
    I'm 
    glad 
    wasn't 
    there 

    to 
    see my 
    Mom
    ma 

    'Cause 
    she 
    must've 
    cried 
    for 
    hours 

    I still 
    hear 
    her sayin' 
    to me 

    "Get 
    your 
    guitar 
    and 
    pick 
    the Wildwood 

    Flower'" 

    Verse 3
    Now 
    Memphis 
    was 
    big 

    And it was 
    hard 
    to find 

    a job 
    and 
    so 
    didn't 

    And 
    it was 
    easier 
    to go 

    back 
    to 
    the country 

    And 
    it 
    was more 
    like 
    livin' 

    Now, 
    I've 
    been down 
    every 
    road 
    Verse 4

    And 
    I've 
    stood 
    on 
    every 
    porch 

    where they 
    were 
    giv
    in' 

    And 
    if they 
    had 
    a dime 
    on an 
    hour 

    would 
    pick 
    the Wildwood 

    Flower

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    It's 
    hard 
    to turn 
    around 

    And 
    look back 
    down 
    the roads 

    that 
    have 
    traveled 

    'Cause 
    like 
    a never 
    endin' 
    ball 
    of 
    twine 

    My 
    dreams 
    have 
    come 
    un
    raveled 

    Now 
    as 
    evening 
    lays 
    its shawl 
    Verse 6

    Across 
    the shoulders 
    of my 
    life, 

    I find 

    I couldn't 
    tie 
    my 
    life 
    together 

    With 
    guitar 
    strings 
    and 

    a poet's 
    heartfelt 
    mind 

    And 
    I'm 
    glad 
    wasn't 
    there 
    Verse 7

    to 
    see my 
    Mom
    ma 

    'Cause 
    she 
    must've 
    cried 
    for 
    hours 

    I still 
    hear 
    her saying 
    to me 

    Get 
    your guitar 
    and 
    pick 
    the Wildwood 

    Flower 


    Play 
    it like 
    this,

    • 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.
