    Verse 1
    Well on 
    a greyhound 
    bound 
    for 

    Shreveport 
    spent 
    too 
    long 
    in 
    my 
    seat 

    We 
    stopped 
    off 
    in 
    no 
    name 

    town 
    to 
    grab 
    bite 
    to 
    eat 

    And 
    the ceiling 
    fans 
    they 
    hung 
    above 

    screened 
    in 
    patio 

    Crawfish 
    hotter 
    than 
    chimney 
    fire 

    the beer 
    was 
    cheap 
    and 
    cold 

    And 
    the bar 
    maid 
    smiled 
    that 
    kind 
    of 

    smile 
    that knocked 
    me 
    off 
    my 
    stool 

    Said 
    hang 
    around 
    I'll 
    show 
    you 
    things 
    they 

    don't 
    teach 
    in 
    school 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    Across 
    the 
    way 
    an 
    old 
    blues 
    man 

    was 
    playing 
    on 
    the 
    street 

    Well 
    he 
    moaned 
    just 
    like 
    black 
    and 

    tan 
    found 
    my
    self 
    seat 

    He sang 
    Lord 
    he 
    lives 
    above 
    us 
    and 

    the 
    devil 
    sleeps 
    be
    neath 

    He growled 
    it 
    mean 
    and 
    low 
    between 

    his 
    three 
    or 
    four 
    gold 
    teeth 

    Verse 3

    And 
    wish 
    was 
    in 
    Shreveport 

    just 
    gambling 
    like 
    fool 

    Yeah 
    you 
    can 
    learn 
    some 
    things 
    down 
    there 

    they 
    don't 
    teach 
    in 
    school 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 4
    Well 
    I dreamed 
    that 
    night 
    of 
    pretty 

    girl 
    dreamed 
    of 
    riverboat 

    Til a 
    man 
    in 
    blue 
    kicked 
    at 
    my 
    shoe 

    said 
    come 
    on 
    boy 
    let's 
    go 

    I said 
    oh 
    officer 
    oh 
    officer 
    please 

    don't 
    take 
    me 
    to 
    jail 

    He 
    said 
    you can't 
    sleep 
    outside 
    now 
    my 
    hands 

    are 
    tied 
    knew 
    that 
    feeling 
    all 
    too 
    well 

    He said 
    if 
    you 
    play 
    in 
    must 
    town 

    son 
    you'll 
    play 
    it 
    by 
    the 
    rules 

    That 
    downtown 
    time 
    shed 
    light 
    on 
    sights 

    you 
    won't 
    see 
    in 
    school 

    Interlude 3

    Verse 5
    Out 
    of 
    jail 
    found 
    my
    self

    down 
    the 
    road 

    So 
    glad 
    to 
    hear 
    that 
    old 
    Jake 
    brake 

    come 
    purring 
    nice 
    and 
    slow 

    He said 
    I'm 
    gone 
    as 
    far 
    as 
    Fayetville I've 

    got 
    some 
    room 
    to

    • 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.
