    • Verse 1
    Come 
    and 
    gather 
    around 
    me good 
    people 

    My 
    life 
    I 
    must 
    reveal 

    Tomorrow 
    might have 
    been 
    different 

    And I 
    know how 
    my 
    darling 
    ought to 
    feel 

    Verse 2
    When 
    I 
    had plenty 
    of money 

    My 
    friends 
    were all 
    standing 
    around 

    But 
    when 
    my 
    pocketbook 
    was 
    empty 

    Not a 
    friend 
    no 
    nearer 

    Interlude 1
    could be 
    found 



    Verse 3
    The 
    last time 
    I saw 
    my little 
    woman 

    She had 
    a wine glass 
    in 
    her 
    hand 

    She was 
    drinking 
    down 
    her 
    troubles 

    With a 
    low down 
    sorry 
    man 

    Verse 4
    My 
    daddy 
    taught 
    me 
    a plenty 

    My 
    momma 
    she 
    taught 
    me 
    more 

    If I 
    didn't 
    quit 
    my 
    rowdy 
    ways 

    Interlude 2
    I'd 
    have trouble 
    knocking 
    at my 
    door 


    Verse 5
    I 
    wrote 
    my 
    momma 
    a letter 

    I 
    told her 
    I was 
    in 
    jail 

    She 
    wrote 
    me 
    back 
    in 
    a hurry 

    Saying 
    honey I'm 
    gonna 

    come 
    and 
    throw your 
    bail 

    Verse 6
    I'm 
    a laying 
    around 
    in this old 
    jail 
    house 

    Forty 
    dollars 
    would 
    pay 
    my 
    fine 

    Corn 
    whiskey 
    done 
    got my 
    body 

    Pretty 
    women 
    are 
    troublin' 

    my 
    mind 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 7
    Give me 
    cornbread 
    when 
    I'm 
    hungry 

    Corn 
    whiskey 
    when 
    I'm 
    dry 

    Pretty 
    women 
    may 
    swarming 

    all around me 

    Sweet 
    heaven 
    when 
    I 
    die 

    Verse 8
    Go 
    dig 
    a hole 
    in the 
    meadow 

    Go 
    dig 
    a 
    hole 
    in the 
    ground 

    Come 
    gather 
    around 
    me good 
    people 

    And 
    watch 
    this poor 
    rambler 
    go 
    down

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
