  • Verse 1
    was 
    born 
    on 
    Stagger 
    Mountain 

    in 
    the sun
    shine 
    and 
    the snow 

    And 
    leavin' 
    was 
    the first 

    mis
    take 
    made; 

    But 
    hungered 
    for 
    the 
    shadows 

    in 
    the 
    valley 
    down 
    below 

    And 
    the girl 
    that danced 
    the 

    tune 
    the devil 
    played. 

    Her smile 
    was 
    like 
    the 
    blindin' 
    light 

    of sun
    shine 
    on 
    the snow 

    And 
    the 
    flashin' 
    of 
    her 

    hair 
    was 
    black 
    as sin. 

    And 
    her 
    body 
    set 
    the smokes 
    of 
    hell 

    a-boilin' 
    in 
    in my 
    skull 

    When the 
    fiddle 
    of 
    the 
    devil 

    made 
    her spin. 

    Morning 
    sunshine 
    [sunshine] high 

    on 
    the 
    mountain, 

    Where 
    the air 
    is 
    pure 
    and 
    cold; 

    But 
    there's 
    darkness 
    in 
    the 
    shadows 

    In 
    the 
    canyons 
    of my 
    soul. 

    The lantern 
    cast 
    a shadow 

    like 
    demon 
    on 
    the wall 

    And 
    the naked 
    sweat 
    was 

    breathin' 
    on 
    her 
    skin; 

    Then 
    the room 
    was 
    spinning 
    closer 

    as 
    her 
    clothes 
    began 
    to fall 

    And the 
    eagle 
    started 

    screamin' 
    in 
    my 
    brain; 

    Then I 
    saw 
    the 
    laughin' 
    dagger 

    and I 
    heard 
    the 
    devil 
    scream 

    And 
    her 
    bleeding 
    heart 
    was 

    beating 
    in 
    my 
    hand. 

    Then 
    the dark
    ness 
    blew 
    away 
    and 

    was standin' 
    by 
    a tree 

    With a 
    hanging 
    rope 
    a-danglin' 

    from 
    from 
    a limb. 

    Morning 
    sunshine 
    [sunshine] high 

    on 
    the 
    mountain, 

    Where 
    the 
    air 
    is 
    pure 
    and 
    cold; 

    But 
    there's 
    darkness 
    in 
    the 
    shadows 

    In 
    the canyons 
    of my 
    soul.

    • 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.
