Verse 1

Carroll County's

The biggest thing that

like such a big event

What we all call the Carroll
C

County accident
Verse 2
C

The wreck was on the highway
G

just inside the line
C
G

Walter Browning lost his life and for a time

It seemed that Mary Ellen
G

Jones would surely die

But she lived long enough

for her to testify

Walter Browning was a happy married man

And he wore a golden wedding

ring upon his hand

But it was gone,

nobody knew just where it went

Mary Ellen testified he flagged her down

Said he was sick and could

she drive him into town

No one even doubted what

she said was true

'Cause she was well

respected in the county too
Verse 5
D

I went down to see the
A

wreck like all the rest

The bloody seats, the broken glass,

Behind the dash,

in Mary's crumpled up machine

A little match box circled by a rubber band

And inside,
E

the ring from Walter Browning's hand

It took a while to figure out

just what it meant

The truth about the Carroll County accident

By dark of night,

I dropped the ring into a well

And took a sacred oath

dad a marble monument

I lost him in the Carroll County accident

  • 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.
