Back in 1927 I
A
E
A

had a little farm and I call that heaven
D
G

And the price is up and the rain come
A

down and I hauled my crops all into town
D

I got the money
G

Bought clothes and groceries
A

and I rared back

Fed the kids and raised
D
G
A
D

me a family
G

The rain quit, the wind got high
A

And a black old dust storm filled the sky
D

And I swapped my farm for
G

a forward machine
A

And I poured it full of this gas

I laid and it started
D
G

Rockin' and rollin'
A

Out of the dust bowl

And across the mountains
D

Way over towards that old pizza place

In

G

It was way up yonder in a mountain road
A

that had a hot motor and a heavy load
D

And I was goin' pretty fast,
G

it wasn't even stoppin'
D
A

Just a -bouncin' up and down like popcorn,
E
A
D

poppin' had a breakdown
G

Kind of a sort of a nervous

bust down there
A

Some guy was a feller there,

a mechanic feller

They charged me 13,
G

D
G

said it was in giant bubbles.
D

Yeah, way up yonder in a
G

mountain road,
A
D

way high up in a piney wood,

G

and they gave that ford a rollin' shove,
A
E

and I was gonna coast

as fur as I could,
A
D

and commenced to coast.
G

Pickin' up speed was a hairpin turn.
D
G
A

I didn't make it.

Man alive, I'm a -tellin' you that

bittersweet guitars really flew

That fort took off like a blind squirrel and it
A
E

flew halfway around the world
D
G

Scattered wives and childrens all
A
D
G
A
D

over the side of that mountain
G

We got out to the west coast broke so
A

Dad got me hungry

I thought I'd croak and
D
G

I bombed up a spud or two
A

My wife fixed up a potato stew
G

They poured the can full of it.
A

On a mighty thin stew though,
E

D
G
A
D

you could read the magazine right through it.
G

I always have figured that if that stew'd

been just a little bit thinner,

some of them there politicians
A
D

could have seen through it.

  • 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.
