    Verse 1
    I 
    left 
    my 
    home 
    in 
    Norfolk 
    Virginia 

    California 
    on 
    my mind 

    I straddled 
    that 
    Greyhound 

    And 
    rode 
    into 
    Raleigh 
    and 
    on 

    across 
    Caroline 

    Verse 2
    We had 
    motor 
    trouble 
    that 

    turn 
    into 
    a struggle 

    Halfway 
    across 
    Alabama 

    And 
    that 
    hound 
    broke 
    down 

    and 
    left 
    us 
    all 
    stranded 

    In 
    downtown 
    Birmingham 

    Verse 3
    Right 
    away 
    I 
    brought 
    me 
    a 

    through 
    train 
    ticket 

    Ridin' 
    across 
    Mississippi 
    clean 

    I 
    was 
    on 
    that 
    midnight 
    flyer 

    out 
    of 
    Birmingham 

    Smoking 
    into 
    New 
    Orleans 

    Verse 4
    Somebody 
    help 
    me 
    get 
    out 
    of Louisiana 

    Just 
    help 
    me 
    get 
    to Houston 
    Town 

    There 
    are people 
    there, 

    who 
    care 
    a little 
    about 
    me 

    And 
    they 
    won't 
    let 
    the 
    poor 

    boy 
    down

    • 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.”
