    Verse 1
    Well, 
    the 
    Devil 
    went 
    down 
    to 
    Georgia 

    He 
    was 
    lookin' 
    for 
    soul 
    to 
    steal 

    He 
    was 
    in 
    bind 
    ’cause 
    he 
    was 
    way 
    behind 

    And 
    he 
    was 
    willing 
    to 
    make 
    deal 

    When 
    he 
    came 
    across 
    this 
    young 
    man 

    Playin' 
    gui
    tar 
    and 
    pickin' 
    it 
    hot 

    And 
    the 
    Devil 
    jumped 
    up 
    on 
    hickory 
    stump 

    And 
    said, 
    "Hey, 
    boy, 
    let 
    me 
    tell 
    you 
    what" 

    Verse 2
    "Guess 
    you 
    didn't 
    know 
    it, 

    but 
    I'm 
    guitar 
    player 
    too 

    And 
    if 
    you'd 
    care 
    to 
    take 
    dare, 

    then 
    I'll 
    make 
    little 
    bet 
    with 
    you 

    Now 
    you 
    play 
    pretty 
    good 
    guitar, 
    boy, 

    but 
    give 
    the 
    Devil 
    his 
    due 

    I'll 
    bet 
    guitar 
    o' 
    gold 
    against 
    your 
    soul, 

    'cause 
    think 
    I'm 
    better 
    than 
    you" 

    Well, 
    the 
    boy 
    said, 
    "My 
    name’s 
    Johnny 

    and 
    this 
    might 
    bе 
    sin 

    But 
    I’m 
    gon' 
    take 
    your 
    bet 

    and 
    you’re 
    gonna 
    rеgret 

    'cause 
    I'm 
    the 
    best 
    that's 
    ever 
    been" 

    Bridge 1
    Johnny, 
    limber 
    up 
    your 
    fingers 

    play 
    that 
    guitar 
    hard 

    All 
    Hell’s 
    broke 
    loose 
    in 
    Georgia 

    and 
    the 
    Dev
    il 
    deals 
    the 
    cards 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    win, 
    you 
    get 

    this 
    shiny 
    guitar 
    made 
    of 
    gold 

    But 
    if 
    you 
    lose, 

    the 
    Devil 
    gets 
    your 
    soul 

    Interlude 1



    Well, 
    the 
    Verse 3
    Devil, 
    he 
    just 
    opens 
    up 
    his 
    case 

    and 
    he 
    said, 
    "Well, 
    I'll 
    start 
    this 
    thing" 

    And 
    the 
    fire 
    flew 
    from 
    his 
    fingertips 

    as 
    he 
    started 
    tuning 
    them 
    strings 

    He 
    put 
    that 
    pick 
    down 
    on 
    them 
    strings 

    and 
    it 
    made 
    an 
    evil 
    sound 

    And 
    him 
    and 
    them 
    demons 
    all 
    got 
    together 

    Started 
    puttin' 
    this 
    weird 
    music 
    down 

    Solo 1









    Verse 4
    The 
    Devil 
    finished, 
    and 
    Johnny 
    said, 

    "Well, 
    that's 
    pretty 
    good 
    pickin' 
    son 

    But 
    pull 
    up 
    chair, 
    sit 
    down 
    right 
    there 

    I'm 
    gon' 
    show 
    you 
    how 
    it's 
    done" 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    he 
    played 
    fire 
    on 
    the 
    mountain, 

    run, 
    boys, 
    run 

    The 
    Devil's 
    in 
    the 
    house 
    of 
    the 
    risin' 
    sun 

    Chicken 
    in 
    the 
    bread-pan 
    pickin' 
    out 
    dough 

    Granny, 
    does 
    your 
    dog 
    bite? 
    No, 
    child, 
    no 

    Solo 2





    Verse 5
    Well, 
    I'm 
    a
    fraid 
    the 
    Devil 
    just 
    bowed 
    his 
    head 

    'cause 
    he 
    knew 
    that 
    he'd 
    been 
    beat 

    And 
    he 
    laid 
    that 
    golden 
    guitar 

    on 
    the 
    ground 
    right 
    there 
    at 
    Johnny's 
    feet 

    Johnny 
    said, 
    "Devil, 
    just 
    come 
    on 
    back 

    if 
    you 
    ever 
    wanna 
    try 
    it 
    again 

    'Cause 
    done 
    told 
    you 
    once, 
    you 
    son 
    of 
    gun, 

    I'm 
    the 
    best 
    there's 
    ever 
    been" 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    he 
    played 
    fire 
    on 
    the 
    mountain, 

    run, 
    boys, 
    run 

    The 
    Devil's 
    in 
    the

    sun 

    Chicken 
    in 
    the 
    bread-pan 

    pickin'

    dough 

    Granny, 
    does

    • 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.
