I was just fifteen and out of

G

control lost to James Dean and rock and roll
G

I knew down deep in my country soul
A
Am
that I had to get away
D

Hollywood was a lady in red who
D

danced in my dreams as I tossed in bed
G
D
I knew I?d wind up in jail or
A
D
dead if I have to stay
G
I thought happiness was Lubbock
A

Texas in my rearview mirror
G

My mama kept calling me home but I
D

Bm

just did not want to hear her
G
And the vision was getting
Abdim
E
A
clear er in my dream
D
G
So I let out one night in June stoned on
D
the glow of the Texas moon
Humming an old Buddy Holly tune called
A
Peggy Sue (pretty, pretty Peggy Sue)
D
With my fa vorite jeans and a cheap
G
D
guitar I ran off chasing a distant star
G
D
If Buddy Holly could make it that
A
D
far then I figured I could too
G
I thought happiness was Lubbock
A

Texas in my rearview mirror

The lady in red just wanted my last dime

F#m
And I cried myself to sleep at night
Bm
D
too dumb to run too scared to fight
G
Abdim
And too proud to admit
E
A
it at the time
D
G
So I got me some gigs on Saturday night not
D
much more than orchestrated fights
G
D
I?d come home drunk and I tried to write
A
but the words came out all wrong
D
G
Hell bent and bound for a wasted youth too
D
much gin and not enough vermouth
G
D
And no one to teach me to seek the truth
A
D
before I put an end to this song
G
I still thought happiness was Lubbock
A
D
Texas in my rearview mirror
G
A
D
My mama kept calling me home but I just could not,

would not hear her
G
Abdim
And the vision was getting clear
E

er in my dream
A
D
Well I thank God each and every day for
G

giving me the music and the words to say
G
D
I?d never had made it any other way
A
D
A
he was my only friend
D
A

Now I sleep a little better each night and when
G
D
I look in the mirror in the morning light
G
D
The man I see was both wrong and
A
D
right he's going home again
G
I guessed happiness was Lubbock
A
D
Texas in my rearview mirror
G
A
But now happiness was Lubbock Texas
D
A
Bm
D
growing nearer and dearer
G
And the vision was getting
Abdim
E
A
clear er in my dream
G
Abdim
And I think I finally know
E
A
just what it means
G
Abdim
E
Abdim
And when I die you can bury me in Lub
G
G
bock Texas in my jeans

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
