    • Verse 1
    I 

    took 
    my 
    little 
    Jenny 

    to 
    a 
    party 
    last 
    night 

    At 
    ten 
    o'clock 
    it 
    ended 
    in 
    a 

    heckuva fight 

    When someone 
    hit 
    my 
    Jenny 
    she 

    went 
    out 
    like 
    a 
    light 

    Poor 
    Jenny 

    Verse 2
    And 
    then 
    some 
    joker 
    went 
    and called 

    the cops 
    on 
    the phone 

    So 
    everybody 
    scattered 

    out 
    for 
    places 
    unknown 

    I 
    couldn't 
    carry 
    Jenny 
    so 
    I 

    left 
    her 
    alone 

    Poor 
    Jenny 

    Verse 3
    Well 
    Jenny 
    had 
    her 
    picture 
    in 

    the 
    paper 
    this 
    mornin' 

    She 
    made 
    it 
    with 
    a bang 

    Ac
    cordin' 
    to 
    the story 
    in 

    the pa
    per 
    this 
    mornin' 

    Jenny 
    is 
    the leader 
    of 
    a teenage 
    gang 

    Verse 4
    Jenny 
    has 
    a 
    brother 
    and 

    he's 
    hot 
    on 
    my 
    trail 

    Her 
    daddy 
    wants 
    to 
    ride 

    me out 
    of 
    town 
    on a 
    rail 

    I 
    hope 
    I'll 
    be 
    around 
    when Jenny 

    gets 
    out 
    of 
    jail 

    Interlude 1
    Poor 
    Jenny 



    Verse 5
    I 
    went 
    downtown 
    to see 
    her, she 

    was 
    locked 
    in 
    a cell 

    She 
    was
    n't 
    very 
    glad 
    to 
    see me, 

    that 
    I 
    could 
    tell 

    In 
    fact, 
    to tell 
    the truth, 

    she 
    wasn't 
    look
    in' 
    too 
    well 

    Poor 
    Jenny 

    Verse 6
    Her 
    eye 
    was 
    black, 
    her 
    face 
    was 
    red, 

    her 
    hair 
    was 
    a fright 

    She 
    looked 
    as 
    though 
    she'd 
    been 

    a'cryin' half 
    of 
    the night 

    I 
    told 
    her 
    I 
    was 
    sorry, 

    she 
    said 
    "Get 
    out 
    of sight" 

    Poor 
    Jenny 

    Verse 7
    It seems 
    a shame 
    that 
    Jenny 
    had 
    to 
    go 
    get 
    apprehended, 

    a 
    heckuva fate 

    This 
    party 
    was 
    the 
    first 
    one 

    she 
    ever 
    had 
    attended 

    It 
    had 
    to 
    happen 
    on 
    our 
    very 
    first 
    date 

    Verse 8
    Jenny 
    has 
    a 
    brother 
    and 

    he's 
    hot 
    on 
    my 
    trail 

    Her 
    daddy 
    wants 
    to 
    ride 

    me 
    out 
    of 
    town 
    on a 
    rail 

    I 
    hope 
    I'll 
    be 
    around 
    when 
    Jenny 

    gets 
    out 
    of jail 

    Outro 1

    • 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.”
