    Verse 1
    Now, 
    it 
    was 

    just 
    like 
    Frankie 
    and 
    Johnny 

    And 
    it 
    was 
    just 
    like 
    Stagger 
    Lee 

    Dolly 
    Summers 
    was 
    a simple 
    girl 

    From 
    a mid-west 
    family 

    fam
    ily 

    With 
    a stucco 
    home 
    and 
    her 
    own 
    Mustang 

    And 
    a charge 
    account 
    at Sears 

    She 
    had 
    everything 
    that 

    girl 
    could 
    want 

    To live 
    happy 
    for 
    the rest 

    Interlude 1
    of 
    her 
    years 



    Verse 2
    But 
    the 
    thing 
    that 
    she wanted 
    most 
    of 
    all 

    Was 
    the thing 
    that she 
    had lost 

    To 
    the 
    arms 
    of 
    a downtown 

    blackjack 
    hustler 

    By 
    the name 
    of 
    Candyfloss 

    They'd 
    skipped 
    town 

    on 
    late-night 
    train 

    train 

    Heading 
    for 
    the West 

    Dolly 
    slipped 
    behind 

    the wheel 
    of 
    her Mustang 

    With 
    a piece 
    between 
    her 
    breast 

    Verse 3

    She 
    put 
    a pistol 
    in 
    her shoulder 
    holster 

    She 
    took 
    her 
    car 
    up 
    from 
    Santa 
    Fe 

    Yes
    terday 
    morning 
    she 

    was 
    washing 
    dishes 

    Now 
    she's 
    hunting 
    down 
    a runaway 

    Don't 
    judge 
    a man 
    by 
    a misdemeanor 

    You 
    may 
    be sorry 
    when 

    his 
    light 
    goes 
    out 

    Don't 
    put 
    that 
    pistol 
    in 

    your shoulder 
    holster 

    You 
    can 
    never, 

    never 
    tell 
    if 
    the 
    Law's 
    about 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 4
    If 
    it seemed 
    just 
    like 
    a movie 

    Or 
    a night 
    of 
    bad 
    TV 

    They should 
    have 
    had 

    picture 
    of 
    Dolly's 
    face 

    As 
    she drove 
    across 
    country 

    With 
    daggers 
    drawn 
    for 

    her 
    fallen 
    man 

    And 
    venom 
    in her 
    heart 

    It 
    was 
    nearly 
    dawn 
    when she 

    caught 
    them 
    up 

    Making 
    out 
    in 
    a picnic 
    park 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 5
    But 
    the 
    thing 
    that shook 
    her rigid 

    As 
    she fumbled 
    for 
    her gun 

    Was 
    the state 
    of 
    the man 
    that 

    she'd married 
    once 

    And 
    thought 
    of 
    as 
    the 
    only 
    one 

    And 
    as 
    she 
    looked 
    back 
    on 
    the chances 

    That 
    she'd 
    passed 
    up 
    at 
    home 

    Well, 
    she quietly 
    dumped 

    her 
    pis
    tol 
    in 
    ditch 

    And 
    she 
    headed 
    home 
    alone

    • 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.
