    Oh 
    Ameli

    a, 

    oh 
    Amelia 

    A 
    southern 
    wo
    man, 
    a 
    southern 
    woman 

    Never 
    had 
    a chance 
    to 
    say 

    goodbye 

    Verse 2

    I met 
    her back 
    in 
    sixty- 
    three, 

    She was 
    such 
    a mystery 

    She was 
    there 
    on 
    Barron 
    Street, 

    Down 
    in 
    New 
    Or
    leans 

    So 
    wild, 
    but 
    yet so 
    tame, 

    She could 
    calm 
    a hurricane 

    She was 
    only 
    seventeen 

    And 
    Amelia 
    was 
    her name 

    Oh 
    Verse 3
    when I took 
    her 
    for a 
    ride, 

    She 
    got close 
    by my side 

    And when 
    I looked 
    into 
    her 
    eye, 

    Amelia 
    kept 
    me 
    hypnotized 

    But in 
    my heart 
    she 
    fell, 

    Oh, I 
    got pulled 
    into 
    her spell 

    I can 
    still see 
    her there, 

    With the 
    flowers 
    in 
    her hair 

    Verse 4
    Oh 
    Ameli
    a, 
    my 
    southern 
    wo
    man, 

    oh 
    my woman 

    I 
    can 
    still feel 
    you, 
    feel 
    you, 

    Feel 
    you, 
    everytime 
    I 
    close 
    my 
    eyes 

    Sweet 
    Amelia, 
    sweet 
    Ameli
    a 

    Where did 
    you run 
    to 

    We 
    never 
    had 
    a chance 
    to 
    say 
    goodbye 

    Never 
    heard her 
    say 
    goodbye 

    I remember 
    making 
    love 
    Verse 5

    Under
    neath 
    the stars 
    above 

    I can 
    feel 
    the sum
    mer 
    breeze 

    Up in magno
    lia 
    trees 

    That 
    night 
    in the southern 
    light, 

    The girl she 
    took 
    me by 
    the 
    hand 

    I was 
    weak 
    as 
    a little 
    lamb, 

    But 
    I 
    became 
    a man 

    Verse 6
    Love 
    was pumping 
    through my 
    veins, 

    Her lips 
    were 
    sweet 
    like sugarcane 

    We rode 
    all night 
    in 
    the rain, 

    'Cross 
    lake 
    Poncetrain 

    She had 
    a heart 
    as fine 
    as 
    fire, 

    Burning 
    innocent 
    desire 

    I can 
    still 
    see 
    her 
    there, 

    With 
    flowers 
    in her hair 

    Verse 7
    Oh Ameli
    a, 
    oh 
    Amelia 

    A southern 
    wo
    man, 
    a 
    southern 
    woman 

    I can 
    still feel 
    you, 

    Everytime 
    I 
    close 
    my 
    eyes 

    Sweet 
    Ameli
    a, sweet 
    Ameli
    a 

    Where did 
    you run 
    to, 
    where'd 
    you run 
    to 

    We 
    never 
    had 
    a chance 
    to 
    say 
    goodbye 

    Never 
    want to 
    say 
    good
    bye 

    Verse 8
    Just 
    like 
    a shooting 
    star, 

    She 
    vanished 
    in the night 

    But I'll 
    always 
    remember 

    Her 
    lips 
    so 
    warm 
    and 
    tender 

    And 
    in my 
    heart 

    She'll always 
    shine 
    so 
    bright 

    Sweet 
    Amelia, 
    if I could 
    just 

    See 
    her 
    one 
    more 
    time

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
