    Mr
    s. 
    Jones, 
    Mr
    s. 
    Jones 

    Her 
    real 
    first 
    name 
    was 
    Betty 

    But 
    I'd 
    rather 
    just 
    forget 
    it 

    So 
    I'll 
    call 
    her 
    the 
    first 
    Mrs. 
    Jones 

    We 
    were 
    married 
    in 
    September 

    And 
    it 
    lasted 
    till 
    November, 

    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, 

    please 
    come 
    home. 

    Pretty 
    soon 
    I 
    started 
    drinkin' 

    Tryin' 
    hard 
    to 
    keep 
    from 
    thinkin' 

    Just 
    how 
    much 
    I 
    loved 
    the 
    first 
    Mrs. 
    Jones 

    It 
    was 
    cold 
    and dark 
    one 
    mornin' 

    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 

    stumbled 
    out 
    and 
    hailed 
    a 

    taxi 
    told 
    the taxi 
    driver

    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. 

    The 
    next 
    thing 
    I 
    recalled 

    was 
    walking 
    through 
    the 
    forest, 

    looking 
    for 
    a place 
    to 
    hide 
    her bones. 

    I 
    dug 
    and 
    dug 
    for hours, 

    and 
    then I 
    planted 
    flowers 
    right 
    on 
    top 

    of 
    the first 
    Mrs. 
    Jones. 

    Did 
    my 
    little 
    story 
    scare 
    you? 

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

    Little 
    beads 
    of 
    perspiration 

    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

      "

      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.
