    Verse 1

    Now 
    a 
    Ramblin' 
    Jack 
    Elliot 
    said: 

    I 
    got 
    these 
    lines 
    in 
    my 
    face 

    Tryin' 
    to 
    straighten 
    out 
    the 

    wrinkles 
    in 
    my 
    life 

    When 
    I think 
    of 
    all 
    the 
    fools 
    I've 
    been 

    It's 
    a wonder 
    that 
    I've 

    sailed 
    this 
    many 
    miles 

    Verse 2

    To 
    which 
    Larry 
    Mahan 
    replied, 

    He said, 
    "The 
    sweet 
    bird 
    of youth 

    Was sittin' 
    on 
    my 
    shoulder 
    yesterday 

    But 
    she's 
    al
    ways 
    changin' 
    partners 

    And 
    I 
    always 
    knew 
    she'd 
    up 

    and 
    fly 
    away" 

    Verse 3

    [Chor
    us] 

    Stayin' up 
    all 
    night 

    In 
    the 
    Driskill Hotel 

    Ramblin' 
    Jack 
    and 
    Mahan 

    Was 
    cowboy'd all 
    to 
    hell 

    The 
    room 
    smelled 
    like 
    bulls 

    The 
    words 
    sound 
    like 
    songs 

    Now 
    there's 
    a 
    pair 
    to draw 
    to 
    boys 

    Interlude 1
    I 
    would 
    not 
    steer 
    you 
    wrong 




    Verse 4
    So 
    ol' 
    Ramblin' 
    Jack 
    said: 

    He 
    said, 
    "I 
    recall 
    a 
    time 

    I set 
    my 
    soul 
    on 
    fire 
    just 
    for show 

    All 
    it 
    ever 
    taught 
    me 
    was 

    Verse 5
    The more 
    I 
    learn 
    the 
    less 
    I 
    seem 
    to know" 

    Ol' 
    Mahan 
    crawled 
    out 
    from behind 

    a couch 
    and 
    said: 

    "Jack, 
    as far 
    as 
    I 
    can 
    see 

    Mistakes 
    are 
    only 
    horses 
    in 
    dis
    guise 

    Ain't 
    no 
    need 
    to 
    ride 
    'em 
    over 

    'cause 
    we 
    could 
    not 
    ride 
    them 

    different 
    if 
    we 
    tried 

    [Chorus]

      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.
