Intro 1

Verse 1
D
Swing
G
It's a hard decision
Am I gonna leave this prison
If they tell me one more time
To get in line
D
I'm gonna break away
Verse 2
D
But I'm sure
G
That every single prison guard
That walks around this prison yard
Is gonna have a shot at me
D
If he sees me running for the gate
Verse 3
D
G
I'd be better off dead
Full of the lead
Rather than to lay one more day
Let my mind and my body rot away
D
In this awful place
Verse 4
D
G
I'd be floating way up so high
Looking down at all my buddies
Saying "You chumps, you suckers
I hope one day you can find
D
the guts to escape"
Verse 5
D
Well you might say
G
"How come you're so sure
Heaven's where you're going?
You ain't exactly been showing
the ways of an angel"
D
Glory bound
Verse 6
D
G
I must admit you got a point
But I got a feeling
The ceiling ain't so far
And Yahweh just may
want a couple words
D
With yours truly
Verse 7
D
A
So I'll be walking right up to
those big pearly gates
G
Saying "Hey Saint Peter,
D
ol' buddy, ol' pal
How's the family, how's work,
how's the kids
What do you say?
How's about cracking those gates?
A
And letting a fine upstanding fellow,
G
like myself
D
Join the club"
Verse 8
D
And he might say
G
"Ah, Mr. Avett you can save it
I ain't gonna be buying any of that lying
Jive, hustling, bald-faced, fake,
fake, conman nonsense
That you used to get by with
D
Down there on Earth"
Verse 9
D
And I'll say
"Come on
G
Surely you and God of all people oughta know
I was innocent of those crimes
I told you so,
every night by myself in that cell
Surrounded by nothing but
D
gray and quiet"
Verse 10
D
Well dear God
G
Maybe I should just be talking
straight to you
The truth is I lost my way some
D
where along the way
G
And if you got a minute,
would you spend it with a sinner
Just long enough to give me
some directions home
D

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
