    • Verse 1

    Who's that knockin' 
    on that door 

    Jones? 

    You 
    better get away 
    from 
    that door 

    I don't 
    know nobody named 
    Jones 

    You're 
    in the right 
    church, brother, but the 

    wrong pew 

    Sam Jones 
    left 
    his 
    Verse 2
    lawful 
    wife, 

    just 
    to 
    step around 

    Came back 
    home, 
    'bout 
    a year 

    Took it for his 
    high 
    brown 

    Went 
    to his accustomed 
    shore 

    And 
    he knocked 
    his knuckles sore 

    His 
    wife 
    she 
    came, 
    but 
    to his 
    shame 

    She 
    knew his 
    face 
    no more 

    Sam 
    said, 
    "I'm 
    your 
    husband, 

    dear" 

    But 
    she said, 
    "Dear, 

    that's 
    strange 
    to 
    hear" 

    You 
    Verse 3
    ain't 
    talkin' 
    to 
    Mrs. 
    Jones 

    You 
    speakin' 
    to Miss 
    Wilson 
    now 

    I 
    used 
    to 
    be 
    your 
    lawful 
    mate 

    But the 
    judge 
    done 
    changed my 
    fate 

    Was 
    a time 
    you could- 
    a' walked right 
    in 

    And call 
    this 
    place 
    your 
    home 
    sweet home 

    But 
    now 
    it's 
    all mine, 
    for 
    all 
    time 

    I'm 
    free and 
    livin' 
    all alone 

    Don't 
    need your 
    clothes, 

    don't need your 
    rent 

    Don't 
    need your 
    ones and twos 


    Though 
    I ain't 
    rich, 
    I know my 
    stitch 

    I earned my 
    strutting 
    shoes 

    Say, hand 
    me the key 
    that unlocks 

    my 
    front 
    door 

    Because 
    that bell 
    don't read 

    Sam 
    Jones 
    no 
    more, no 

    You 
    ain't talk
    in' 
    to Mrs. Jones 

    You 
    speakin' 
    to Miss 
    Wilson 
    now

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
