    • Verse 1
    Oh, 

    the sun 
    goes 
    down 

    and 
    the moon 
    shines 
    bright 

    And it's 
    fun 
    dance 
    time 

    on 
    a Saturday 
    night 

    The 
    folks 
    gather 
    round 

    like 
    bees 
    in 
    a hive 

    And the 
    fiddle 
    tune's 
    up 

    to play the 
    Tenness
    ee jive 

    And I'm 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone 

    till 
    the break 
    of 
    day 

    It's 
    the Tennessee 
    jive 

    and 
    they 
    play 
    it in 
    a 
    real 
    gone 
    way 




    Dance 
    the Tennessee 
    Chive 

    and 
    you'll ask 
    for more 

    With 
    your bare 
    feet 
    pickin' 
    up 

    splinters 
    on 
    the floor 

    Your 
    pants 
    rolled 
    up 

    and 
    you're truckin' 
    on 
    down 

    With 
    a high 
    -tone 
    gal 
    in 
    the 
    calico 
    gown 

    And 
    I'm 
    gone 
    till 
    the 
    break 
    of 
    day 

    It's 
    the Tenness
    ee Chive 

    and 
    they 
    play 
    it in 
    a 
    real 
    gone 

    way 



    Oh, 
    you grab 
    a little 
    gal 

    and 
    you circle 
    like 
    a top 

    And you 
    jump 
    across 
    the floor 

    with a 
    skip 
    and a hop 

    You 
    gotta 
    be 
    sharp, 

    you gotta 
    look 
    alive 

    Cause the 
    joint's 
    really 
    jumpin' 

    to the 
    Tennessee 
    Jive 

    And I'm 
    gone 
    till 
    the 
    break 
    of 
    day 

    It's 
    the 
    Tennessee 
    Jive, 

    and 
    they 
    play 
    it in 
    a real 
    gone 

    way 



    Well, 
    if 
    you want 
    to be 
    happy 

    and 
    glad 
    you're 
    alive 

    Take 
    off 
    your 
    shoes 

    and do the 
    Tennessee 
    Jive 

    Feelin' 
    kinda 
    low 
    and 
    gonna 
    get a 
    treat 

    Just 
    a -slippin' 
    and 
    a -slidin' 

    to 
    a hillbilly 
    beat 

    And I'm 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone, 
    gone 

    till 
    the break 
    of 
    day 

    It's 
    the Tennessee 
    Jive 

    and 
    they 
    play 
    it in 
    a real 
    gone 
    way

      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

      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.
