    Down in Atlanta,

    the break 
    of day 

    But as 
    I 
    turned 
    my 
    head 

    I 
    loudly 
    said, 

    "Preach 
    'em 
    blues, sing 
    them blues" 

    They 
    cer

    Verse 2
    I've been 
    in love 
    for

    and ain't 
    done 
    worrying 
    yet 

    Moan

    holler 
    them blues 

    Let

    Verse 3

    Let me 
    tell you, 
    girls, 

    that your 
    man 
    ain't treating 
    you 
    right 

    Let 
    me tell 
    you 
    I don't 
    mean 
    no wrong 

    I will 
    learn you 
    something 
    if 
    you 

    listen 
    to this 
    song 

    Verse 4
    I ain't here 
    to try to 
    save 
    your soul 

    Just 
    want 
    to teach you 
    how to 

    save your 
    good 
    jelly 
    roll 

    Verse 5
    Going 
    on 
    down 
    the line

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
