    A hangar 
    with

    a sickly 
    grin

    him 
    folks 
    all 
    fightin' 

    Round 
    the 
    roulette 
    wheel 

    Like

    street 

    In 
    the south 
    of 
    Beale 

    Verse 15
    Then 
    he took 
    him 
    round

    A 
    preacher

    Stretched 
    dead 
    drunk 
    there 

    Verse 17

    he 
    took 
    him 
    to 
    a furnace

    was 
    firin' 

    Hot

    hell 

    Slim's 
    a-mean perspirin' 

    White 
    White 
    devils 
    with 
    pitchforks 

    Threw 
    black 
    devils 
    on 

    Slim 
    thought 
    he'd 
    better 

    Get 
    movin' 
    along 

    Verse 18

    Said 
    Slim 
    this 
    makes 

    Me 
    think 
    of 
    home 

    Vicksburg, 
    Little 
    Rock, 

    Jackson, 
    and 
    Rome 

    Verse 19
    Then 
    the 
    Devil 
    gave 
    Slim 

    The big 
    Ha-ha 

    Turned 
    Turned 
    into 
    a cracker 

    With 
    a sheriff's 
    star 

    So 
    he 
    ran 
    for 
    his 
    wings 
    Verse 20

    Lit 
    out 
    from 
    the 
    ground 

    Hauled 
    it 
    back 
    to 
    Peter 

    He 
    was 
    heaven 
    bound 

    Verse 21

    Said 
    Peter 
    to Slim 

    Man 
    you 
    got 
    back 
    quick 

    Tell 
    me 
    how's 
    the Devil, 

    What's 
    his 
    latest 
    trick? 

    Oh 
    no 
    Verse 22
    said 
    Slim 

    I 
    can
    't 
    really 
    tell 

    That 
    place 
    was 
    Dixie 

    That 
    I took 
    for 
    Hell"

      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.

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
