  • Verse 1
    The 
    runway 
    rushed 
    up 
    at 
    him 
    as 
    he felt 

    the wheels 
    touch 
    down 

    He stood 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    blacktop and 

    took 
    a taxi 
    into 
    town 

    He 
    got 
    out 
    down 
    on 
    Main 
    Street 

    and 
    went 
    into 
    a local 
    bar 

    He 
    bought 
    a drink 
    and 
    found 
    seat 

    in a 
    corner 
    off 
    the 
    dark 

    Well she 
    called 
    up 
    her 
    mama 
    to make 
    sure 
    the 

    kids 
    were 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    house

    She checked 
    herself 
    out 

    in the 
    dining 
    room 
    mirror 

    And 
    undid 
    an 
    ex
    tra 
    button 

    on 
    her 
    blouse 

    He felt 
    her 
    lying 
    next 
    to 
    him, 

    the clock 
    said 
    4:00 am 

    He 
    was staring 
    at 
    the 
    ceiling 

    He 
    couldn't 
    move 
    his 
    hands 

    Verse 2
    [Chorus] 
    Oh 
    mama 

    mama 
    mama 
    come 
    quick 

    I've 
    got 
    the shakes 
    and 

    I'm 
    gon
    na 
    be 
    sick 

    Throw 
    your 
    arms 
    around 
    me 

    in 
    the 
    cold 
    dark 
    night 

    Hey 
    now 
    mama 
    don't shut 

    out 
    the 
    light 

    Don't 
    you shut 
    out 
    the 
    light 

    Don't 
    you shut 
    out 
    the light 

    Don't 
    you shut 
    out 
    the 
    light 

    Don't 
    you shut 
    out 
    the 
    light 

    Verse 3
    Well 
    on 
    his 
    porch 
    they 
    stretched 
    banner 

    that said 
    "Johnny 
    Welcome 
    Home" 

    Bobby 
    pulled 
    his Ford 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    garage 

    and 
    they 
    polished 
    up 
    the 
    chrome 

    His 
    mama 
    said 
    "Johnny 
    oh 
    Johnny, 

    I'm so 
    glad 
    to 
    have 
    you 
    back 
    with 
    me" 

    His 
    pa 
    said 
    he 
    was sure 
    they'd 
    give 

    him his 
    job 
    back 
    down 
    at 
    the 
    factory 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    [Chorus] 

    Well deep 
    in 
    a dark 
    forest, 

    forest 
    filled 
    with 
    rain 

    Beyond 
    a stretch 
    of Maryland 
    pines 

    there's 
    a river 
    without 
    name 

    In 
    the 
    cold 
    black 
    water 
    John

    son 
    Lineir stand

    He 
    stares 
    across 
    the lights 
    of 
    the city 
    and 
    dreams 

    Interlude 2
    of 
    where 
    he's 
    been

    • 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.
