    G

    Mrs. Jones, Mr s. Jones
    D
    G

    Her real first name was Betty

    But I'd rather just forget it
    D

    So I'll call her the first Mrs. Jones

    We were married in September

    And it lasted till November,
    Am
    D
    G

    when one day she just took off on her own.

    I followed her to Savannah,

    then Mobile,

    and then Atlanta.

    Every day I begged her,
    D

    please come home.

    Pretty soon I started drinkin'

    Tryin' hard to keep from thinkin'
    G

    Just how much I loved the first Mrs. Jones

    It was cold and dark one mornin'
    C
    G

    Just before the day was dawnin'

    When I staggered from a

    tavern to a phone

    When she picked up her receiver

    I said you're gonna come back

    or either they're gonna be calling you

    the late Mrs. Jones.

    I put a pistol in my jacket
    D

    stumbled out and hailed a
    Am

    taxi told the taxi driver
    D

    to take me to her home.

    I remember walking proudly

    and everybody said that I yelled out loudly come

    on out I'm gonna come in, Mrs. Jones.
    G

    The next thing I recalled

    was walking through the forest,
    C
    G

    looking for a place to hide her bones.

    I dug and dug for hours,
    C
    G
    D

    and then I planted flowers right on top
    G
    Eb

    of the first Mrs. Jones.
    Ab

    Did my little story scare you?
    Eb
    Ab

    I can see, cause I'm so near you.
    Eb
    Ab

    Little beads of perspiration
    Eb

    dot your clothes.

    Aren't you sorry now that you left me?

    Really now, don't you want

    to come go with me?

    After all, you are the second Mrs. Jones.

    • 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.
