    Verse 1
    Well 
    I 
    spent 
    the 
    better 
    part 
    of 

    my 
    life 
    on 
    a 
    Mississippi 
    riverboat 

    I used 
    to 
    be 
    known 
    from 
    coast 
    to 
    coast 

    as 
    the 
    slick
    est 
    gambler 
    afloat 

    I've 
    dealt 
    the 
    cards 
    from 
    Minnesota 

    to 
    the 
    harbor 
    at 
    New 
    Or
    leans 

    Made 
    a 
    lotta 
    big 
    money 
    on 
    the 
    riverboat loved 
    a lotta 

    pretty 
    riverboat queens 

    Riverboat riverboat I 
    love 

    your 
    whistle's 
    wail 

    I 
    wish 
    I was 
    back 
    on 
    the 
    riverboart stead 

    of 
    in 
    the 
    Memphis 
    jail 

    [ banjo 
    ] 

    Well 
    a 
    big 
    man 
    got 
    on 
    the 

    riverboat our 
    last 
    time 
    in 
    St 
    Paul 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    lotta 
    money 
    but 
    his 
    luck 
    went 

    bad 
    and 
    the 
    riverboat won 
    it 
    all 

    He 
    said 
    I 
    dealt 
    from 
    the 
    bottom 
    of 

    the deck 
    and 
    he 
    pulled 
    a shiny 
    knife 

    But 
    be
    fore 
    that 
    gambler 
    lunged 
    at me 
    my 

    forty- 
    four 
    took 
    his 
    life 

    Riverboat ri
    verboat... 

    [ ban
    jo 
    ] 

    Well 
    they 
    came 
    on 
    the 
    boat 
    and 
    they took 

    me 
    to jail 
    when 
    we 
    got 
    to 
    Ten
    nessee 

    A 
    gamblin' 
    man 
    has 
    very 
    few 
    friends 

    guess 
    nobody 
    cared 
    for 
    me 

    Well 
    I might 
    be 
    here 
    for 
    a many 

    long 
    years 
    but 
    if 
    I 
    ever 
    get 
    out 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    head 
    straight 
    for 
    that 
    levee 
    and 
    get 
    me 

    a 
    riverboat 
    head
    in' south

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
