    Verse 1
    In 
    little 
    cabaret 

    In 
    South 
    Texas 
    border 
    town 

    Sat 
    boy 
    and 
    his 
    guitar 

    And 
    the 
    people 
    came 
    from 
    all 
    around 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    girls 

    From 
    there 
    to 
    Austin 

    Were 
    slippin' 
    away 
    from 
    home 

    And 
    puttin' 
    jewelry 
    in 
    hock 

    To 
    take 
    the 
    trip 

    To 
    go 
    and 
    listen 

    To 
    the 
    little 
    dark-haired 
    boy 

    That 
    played 
    the 
    Tennessee

    top 
    box 

    Interlude 1
    And 
    he 
    would 
    play 





    Verse 2
    Well, 
    he 
    couldn't 
    ride 
    or 
    wrangle 

    And 
    he 
    never 
    cared 
    to 
    make 
    dime 

    But 
    give 
    him 
    his 
    guitar 

    And 
    he'd 
    be 
    happy 
    all 
    the 
    time 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    girls 

    From 
    nine 
    to 
    ninety 

    Were 
    snappin' 
    fingers, 
    tappin' 
    toes 

    And 
    beggin' 
    him: 
    "Don't 
    stop" 

    And 
    hypnotized 
    and 
    fas
    ci
    nated 

    By 
    the 
    little 
    dark-haired 
    boy 

    That 
    played 
    the 
    Tennessee 
    flat 
    top 
    box 

    Interlude 2
    And 
    he 
    would 
    play 





    Verse 3
    Then 
    one 
    day 
    he 
    was 
    gone 

    And 
    no 
    one 
    ever 
    saw 
    him 
    'round 

    He 
    vanished 
    like 
    the 
    breeze 

    And 
    they 
    forgot 
    him 
    in 
    the 
    little 
    town 

    But 
    all 
    the 
    girls 

    Still 
    dreamed 
    a
    bout 
    him 

    And 
    hung 
    around 
    the 
    cabaret 

    Until 
    the 
    doors 
    were 
    locked 

    And 
    then 
    one 
    day 

    On 
    the 
    hit 
    pa
    rade 

    Was 
    little 
    dark-haired 
    boy 

    That 
    played 
    Tennessee 
    flat 
    top 
    box 

    Outro 1
    And 
    he 
    would

    • 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.
