Verse 1
Am

The devil went down to Georgia,

he was lookin' for a soul to steal

He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind

And he was willin' to make a deal

When he came across this young man

sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot

And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
E
G

And said, "boy, let me tell you what"
Verse 2
Am

"I guess you didn't know it

but I'm a fiddle player too

And if you'd care to take a dare,

I'll make a bet with you

Now you play pretty good fiddle, boy

But give the devil his due

I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
E
G

'Cause I think I'm better than you"
Am

The boy said,

"my name's Johnny and it might be a sin

But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
E

'Cause I'm the best there's ever been"

And if you win, you get this shiny

Verse 3
Am

The devil opened up his case and he said,

"I'll start this show"

And fire flew from his fingertips

as he rosined up his bow

And he pulled the bow across the strings

And it made a evil hiss

Then a band of demons joined in

And it sounded something like this

The devil bowed his head

because he knew that he'd been beat

I done told you once you son of a bitch,

I'm the best that's ever been"

  • 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.
