  • Verse 1
    My 
    daddy 
    was 
    an honest 
    man 

    just 
    a red 
    dirt 
    Georgia 
    farm 
    boy 

    My 
    mama 
    spent 
    her young 
    life 

    raisin' 
    kids 
    and 
    bailin' 
    hay 

    Now 
    I was 
    just 
    fifteen 
    when 

    ached 
    in
    side 
    to 
    wander 

    So 
    hopped 
    a freight 
    in 
    Waycross and I 

    rode 
    it 
    to 
    LA 

    I met 
    a girl 
    known 
    on 
    the Strip 
    as 
    San 

    Francisco's 
    Ma
    bel 
    Joy 

    Destitution's child 
    born 
    on 
    an LA 

    street 
    called 
    Shame 

    The sleep 
    came 
    and 
    left 
    this 
    little 

    Waycross country 
    boy 

    Mabel 
    Joy 
    was 
    gone 
    Lord 
    I'd 

    never 
    see 
    her 
    again 

    Growin' 
    up 
    came 
    quietly 
    in 
    the 

    arms 
    of 
    Mabel 
    Joy 

    Laughter 
    found 
    the 
    mornings 

    brought 
    the 
    meaning 
    to my 
    life 

    woke 
    up 
    one 
    day 
    Lord 

    finding 
    was 
    by 
    myself 

    With 
    dreams 
    of 
    Georgia 
    cotton 

    and a California 
    wife 

    Lord 
    the 
    cold nights 
    had no 
    pity on a 

    Waycross Georgia farm 
    boy 

    Most days 
    he went 
    hungry 
    and 

    then the summer 
    came 

    Sunday 
    morning 
    found 
    me standin' 

    neath 
    the 
    red 
    light 
    at 
    her 
    door 

    Right 
    cross 
    sent 
    me reelin' 

    put my 
    face 
    down 
    on 
    the floor 

    In 
    place 
    of 
    my 
    Mabel 
    Joy 
    he found 

    a merchant 
    mad 
    mar
    ine 

    Who said 
    your 
    Georgia 
    neck 
    is red 
    but 

    Sonny 
    you're 
    still 
    green 

    But I 
    turned 
    twenty 
    one 

    in a grey 
    rock 
    Federal 
    prison 

    The 
    judge 
    had 
    no 
    mercy 
    for 
    this 

    Waycross Georgia 
    boy 

    Sometimes 
    at 
    night 
    in silence 

    Lord 
    I'd 
    listen 

    That 
    midnight 
    freight 
    to take 

    me back 
    to Mabel 
    Joy 

    The 
    cold 
    nights 
    had 
    no 
    pity 
    on 
    this 

    Waycross Georgia 
    farm 
    boy 

    Springtime 
    turned 
    to summer 

    and 
    then the 
    winter 
    came 

    Starin' 
    at 
    those 
    four 
    grey 
    walls 
    in 

    silence 
    Lord 
    I'd 
    listen 

    Somewhere's 
    in the 
    distance 
    to 

    the whistle 
    of 
    a train 

    Sunday 
    morning 
    found 
    me 
    lying 

    neath 
    the 
    red 
    light 
    at 
    her 
    door 

    With 
    a bullet 
    in 
    my 
    side 
    I cried 

    have 
    you 
    seen 
    Mabel 
    Joy 

    Stunned 
    and 
    shaken 
    someone 
    said 

    son 
    she 
    don't 
    live 
    here 
    anymore 

    She 
    left 
    this 
    town 
    ten 
    years 
    ago 

    I heard 
    she's 
    looking 
    for 

    Some 
    Georgi
    a farm 
    boy

    • 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.
