  • Verse 1
    Now 
    it 

    was 

    hot 
    sticky 
    morning 

    'Round 
    the 
    Fourth 
    of 
    July 

    The 
    breeze 
    was 
    standing 
    still 

    I'm 
    hanging 
    out 
    by 
    myself 

    And 
    I'm 
    having 
    good 
    time 

    With 
    the 
    folk 
    inside 
    my 
    head 

    And 
    you 
    know, 
    Lord, 

    How 
    you 
    did 
    a lovely 
    thing 

    See, 
    times 
    my 
    head 
    is 
    lighter 

    Than 
    it's 
    ever 
    been 

    An
    any
    one 
    who's 
    ever 
    had 

    Sweet 
    potato 
    pie 

    Don't 
    want 
    pumpkin 
    again, 

    No, 
    they 
    don't 
    want 

    Verse 2
    'Cause 
    it don't 
    taste 
    right, 
    no 
    Look-a-here 

    city city 
    city 
    boy 
    with 
    your 

    Silks 
    and 
    braided 
    hair 

    Don't you 
    let 
    nobody 
    fool 
    you 

    With 
    no 
    imitation 
    nothing 

    Tell 'em, 
    say, 
    unh, 
    unh, 
    buddy, 

    I been 
    there 

    Listen 
    mama, 
    when 
    you 

    Finally 
    walk 
    on 
    in

    Don't 
    forget 
    to 
    bring 
    along 

    Your 
    sweet 
    potato 
    tin 

    'Cause 
    when 
    you 
    serve 
    him 

    slice 
    of 
    your 
    sweet 
    potato 

    Verse 3
    Sin, 
    girl, 
    he 
    won't 
    want 
    pumpkin 
    again, 

    No, 
    he 
    won't 
    want 

    Now 
    I took 
    a trip 
    down 
    to Sissy's 

    She's 
    friend 
    of mine 

    She 
    smiled 
    and 
    asked 
    me 
    in 

    Well, she 
    drew 
    box 
    and 
    big, 

    Fancy 
    question 
    mark 

    Said, 
    "Brother, 
    which 
    one 
    is 
    you 
    in?" 

    told 
    her, 
    "S
    ister, 
    don't 
    worry 

    'bout 
    the mule 
    going 
    blind 

    You 
    just 
    sit 
    in 
    the wagon 
    and 

    Hold 
    on 
    to 
    the 
    line 

    'Cause 
    anyone 
    who's 
    ever 
    had 

    Sweet 
    potato 
    pie 

    Don't 
    want 
    pumpkin 
    again, 

    Really 
    don't 
    want" 

    Verse 4
    Now 
    saw 
    the 
    gates 

    Gold 
    and 
    pearl 

    And I sat 
    right 
    down 

    In 
    dream 
    of 
    you, 
    old 
    friend 

    I'm 
    thinking 
    some 
    milk 
    and 

    Honey 
    and 
    pot 
    of 
    stew 

    Might 
    fill 
    that 
    gap 
    again 

    You 
    know, 
    I'm 
    a thank
    ful 

    Witness 
    to 
    the 
    things 
    I've seen 

    And 
    times 
    my 
    Verse 5
    head 
    is 
    lighter 

    Than 
    it's 
    ever 
    been 

    And 
    anyone 
    who's 
    ever 
    had 

    Sweet 
    potato 
    pie 

    Really 
    don't 
    want 
    pumpkin 
    again, 

    No 
    they 
    won't 
    want 

    Interlude 1

    Would 
    you 
    give me 
    some 


    Sweet 
    potato

    • 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.
