    • Verse 1
    There 
    is 
    a 
    spring 
    not 

    far 
    from 
    here 

    The water 
    run
    s 
    both sweet 
    an
    d clear 

    Both 
    sweet 
    and 
    clear, 
    and 
    cold 

    Could 
    crack 
    your bones 

    With 
    veins 
    of 
    gold 

    I stood, 
    a- 
    Verse 2
    wagging, 
    at the 
    tap 

    Just 
    a- waiting 
    on 
    the lagging, 
    rising 
    sap 

    I 
    held 
    the cold 
    tin 
    ladle 
    to 
    my 
    lip 

    At the 
    Shrine 
    of the 
    Thousand 
    Arms 

    I lowered 
    my 
    eyes to 
    sip 

    Verse 3
    What 
    a beautiful 
    day 

    to catch 
    my 
    drift 

    Or be 
    caught 
    up in 
    it 

    You 
    want your 
    love, 
    Love? 

    Come 
    and get 
    your love 

    I only 
    took 
    it back 

    Because 
    I thought 
    you 
    didn't 

    Verse 4
    How 
    my 
    ears 
    did 
    ring 

    At 
    the municipal 
    pound 

    From 
    that 
    old hangdog 

    To 
    which 
    I was bound 

    Curled 
    'round 
    the bottom 
    rung 

    Doesn't 
    anybody 
    want 
    you? 

    Well, 
    come 
    on, darlin' 

    I 
    could use 
    someone 
    like 
    you 
    around 

    I am not 
    like 
    you 

    I ain't 
    from 
    this 
    place 

    And 
    I do 
    reserve 
    the 
    right 
    to 
    repeat 

    all 
    my same 
    mis
    takes 

    And, in 
    the night, 
    like 
    you 

    I certainly 
    bite 
    and chew 

    What 
    I can 
    find 

    And never 
    seem 
    to lose 
    the 
    taste 

    Verse 5
    What 
    a horrible 
    face 

    I feel 
    me 
    make 

    For 
    Pete's 
    sake 

    What you 
    have 
    told 
    me, 

    I can
    not 
    erase 

    Though 
    I keep 
    on say
    ing 

    and 
    I do believe 

    It is not 
    too 
    late 

    All 
    day, you're 
    Verse 6
    hassling 
    me 

    with 
    trifles 

    Black 
    nose 
    of 
    the dog 

    as 
    cold 
    as 
    a rifle 

    Indicating, 
    with 
    a 
    nudge 

    God, 
    no 
    God, 
    God, 
    no 
    God 

    Sweet, 
    appraising 
    eye 
    of the 
    dog 

    Blink 
    once 
    if 
    God, 
    twice 
    if 
    no 
    God 

    Verse 7
    My 
    mama may 
    be 
    ashamed 
    of 
    me 

    With 
    all 
    of 
    my 
    finery 

    Carrying 
    on 

    Whooping 
    it 
    up 
    till the early 
    morn' 

    Lost 
    and 
    lorn 
    among 
    the madding 
    rev
    elry 

    Sure, 
    I 
    can 
    pass 

    Honey, 
    I can 
    pass 

    Particularly 
    when 
    I start 
    to tip 
    my 
    glass 

    I'll 
    be 
    a sport 

    And have 
    a go 
    at 
    that 
    old 
    song 

    singing 
    unabashed 

    'Bout 
    them 
    city 
    girls 
    with their 

    ribbon 
    bows 

    And their 
    fancy 
    sash' 

    Verse 8
    But, though 
    I get so 
    sad 

    Could 
    swear 
    the 
    night 
    makes 

    a motion 
    to claim 
    me 

    Around 
    that second 
    verse 

    I reckon 
    and I've felt 
    worse 

    And still 
    held 
    fast 

    But, later 
    on, 
    when I 
    am 
    alone 

    Alone 
    at last 

    Well I 
    take 
    my God 
    to 
    task 

    I take my 
    doggone 
    God 
    to 
    task

      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.
