    • Verse 1
    Back 

    in Nineteen 
    Twenty- 
    Seven 

    I 
    had a 
    little farm 
    that I 
    called 
    heaven 

    Well, the 
    prices 
    up and 

    the rain 
    come 
    down 

    And 
    I 
    hauled 
    my crops 
    all 
    into town 

    I got 
    the money 

    Bought 
    clothes 
    and groceries 

    Fed 
    the 
    kids 
    and 
    raised 
    a family 

    Verse 2
    Well the 
    rain 
    quit 
    and 
    the 
    wind 
    got 
    high 

    And 
    the black 
    ol' dust 
    storm 

    filled 
    the sky 

    And I swapped 
    my farm 

    for a Ford 
    machine 

    And 
    I poured 
    it 
    full 
    of this 
    gas- 
    i- line 

    And I 
    started, 
    rockin' 
    and 
    a- rollin' 

    Over 
    the mountains, 

    out 
    towards 
    the 
    old 
    Peach 
    Bowl 

    Verse 3
    Way up 
    yonder 
    on a mountain 
    road 

    I 
    had a 
    hot 
    mo
    tor 
    and 
    a heavy 
    load 

    Got 
    a- goin' 
    pretty 
    fast, 

    there 
    wasn't even 
    stoppin' 

    And a- 
    bouncin' 
    up and 

    down, like 
    popcorn 
    poppin' 

    I had 
    a breakdown, 

    sort 
    of a 
    nervous 
    breakdown 
    of some 
    kind 

    There was 
    a feller 
    there, 

    a mech
    anic 
    feller 

    Said 
    it was 
    engine 
    trouble 

    Verse 4

    Way 
    up yonder 
    on a mountain 
    curve 

    Way 
    up yonder 
    in the 
    piney 
    wood 

    I 
    gave 
    that 
    rollin' 
    Ford 
    a shove 

    And was 
    a- gonna 
    coast 

    as far 
    as 
    I 
    could 

    Commence 
    coastin', 
    pickin' 
    up speed 

    Was 
    a hair
    pin 
    turn, 
    I 
    didn't 
    make 
    it 

    Verse 5

    Well man 
    alive, 
    I'm tellin' 
    you 

    And 
    the fiddles 
    an

    d the guitars 
    really 
    flew 

    And 
    that 
    Ford 
    took 
    off like 

    a flying 
    squirrel 

    And it flew 
    halfway 
    around 
    the world 

    Scattered 
    wives 
    and children 

    All 
    over 
    the side 
    of that 
    mountain 

    Verse 6

    We got 
    out 
    to 
    the West 
    Coast 
    broke 

    So 
    doggon' hungry 
    I thought 
    I'd 
    croak 

    So I 
    bummed 
    up 
    a spud 
    or two 

    And my 
    wife 
    fixed 
    up 
    a 
    tater 
    stew 

    We poured 
    the 
    kids 
    full 
    of it 

    Mighty 
    thin 
    stew, 
    though 

    You could 
    read a 
    magazine 

    right through 
    it 

    Verse 7

    Well I 
    always 
    have 
    figured 
    that 

    If 
    it'd been 
    just 
    a 
    little bit 
    thinner 

    Some 
    of 
    these here 
    politicians 

    coulda 
    seen 
    right 
    through it

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
