    Verse 1
    Poor 

    old 
    Tim 
    got 
    umpteen 
    years 
    inside, 

    as 
    everybody 
    knows 

    For 
    sucking 
    on 
    a 
    stick 
    of 
    grass, 

    they 
    give 
    him 
    denim 
    clothes 

    He 
    lived 
    high 
    on 
    a 
    moun
    tain, 

    but 
    they 
    picked 
    up 
    on 
    his 
    trail 

    It's 
    sad 
    too 
    late, 
    the 
    family 
    paid 

    since 
    Tim 
    got 
    put 
    in 
    jail 

    Roll 
    another 
    gently, 
    friend, 

    roll 
    an
    other 
    slow 

    Light 
    up 
    and 
    get 
    a 
    load 
    of 
    yourself, 

    suddenly 
    burst 
    afloat 

    Our 
    plants 
    all 
    died 
    a 
    month 
    ago, 

    I 
    just 
    saved 
    one 
    by 
    a 
    fluke 

    But 
    I 
    hid 
    it 
    in 
    the 
    barn 

    that 
    got 
    burnt 
    down 
    by 
    brother 
    Stu 

    The 
    cleaning 
    screens 
    are 
    rusty 
    now 

    and 
    the 
    place 
    is 
    up 
    for 
    sale 

    God 
    knows 
    what 
    else 
    may 
    turn 
    to 
    junk 

    before 
    Tim 
    gets 
    out 
    of 
    church 

    Roll 
    another 
    gently 
    friend, 

    roll 
    an
    other 
    smoke 

    Light 
    up 
    and 
    get 
    a 
    load 
    of 
    yourself, 

    suddenly 
    burst 
    of 
    love 

    Sweet 
    Rose, 

    she 
    fell 
    for 
    some 
    strange 
    bloke 

    who's 
    gone 
    and 
    we 
    don't 
    know 
    where 

    The 
    welfare 
    came 
    to 
    shake 
    her 
    hand 

    and 
    say 
    it's 
    just 
    not 
    fair 

    Sweet 
    Sally 
    has 
    a 
    fiddler 
    man 

    forever 
    within 
    her 
    youth 

    And 
    the 
    family 
    may 
    have 
    grown 
    a 
    bit 

    when 
    Tim 
    comes 
    home 
    from 
    jail 

    Roll 
    another 
    gently, 
    friend, 

    roll 
    an
    other 
    slow 

    Ride 
    up 
    and 
    get 
    a 
    load 
    of 
    yourself, 

    suddenly 
    bust 
    a 
    blow 

    Well 
    they 
    let 
    him 
    out 

    be
    fore 
    it's 
    time 

    to 
    give 
    us 
    all 
    a 
    sur
    prise 

    He 
    came 
    home 
    and 
    he 
    looked 
    around, 

    ap
    pearing 
    very 
    wise 

    He 
    shook 
    hands 
    with 
    the 
    fid
    dler, 

    said, 
    hope 
    I 
    get 
    to 
    hear 
    you 
    wail 

    Then 
    he 
    left 
    and 
    the 
    last 

    we 
    heard 
    of 
    him, 

    he'd 
    wound 
    up 
    back 
    in 
    jail 

    Roll 
    another 
    gently, 
    friend, 

    roll 
    another 
    slow 

    Light 
    up 
    and 
    get 
    a 
    load 
    of 
    yourself, 

    suddenly 
    burst 
    afloat 
    you

      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.
