    • Verse 1
    On 
    a 
    warm 
    summer's 
    eve, 

    upon 
    a train 
    bound 
    for nowhere 

    I 
    met 
    up 
    with 
    a 
    gambler, 

    we were 
    both 
    too 
    tired 
    to sleep

    So 
    he 
    sent 
    out 
    a talk, 

    out the 
    window 
    at 
    the dark
    ness 

    To 
    board 
    him 
    over 
    to 
    the sand, 

    he 
    began 
    to 
    speak 

    He 
    said, 
    son, 
    I've 
    made 
    a 
    lot 
    out 

    of reading 
    people's 
    faces, 

    knowing 
    what 
    the cards 
    were, 

    by 
    the 
    way 
    they 
    held 
    their 
    eye
    s. 

    And 
    if you 
    don't 
    find 
    the 
    same, 

    I can 
    see 
    you're 
    out 
    of 
    aces. 

    For a 
    taste 
    of 
    your whis
    key, 

    I'll 
    give 
    you 
    some 
    ad
    vice. 

    You've 
    got 
    nowhere 
    to 
    hold 
    it, 

    nowhere 
    to 
    fold 
    it, 

    Nowhere 
    to walk 
    away, 

    nowhere 
    to 
    run 

    You've 
    never 
    caught 
    your 
    money 

    When 
    you're 
    sitting 
    at 
    the 
    table 

    There'll 
    be 
    time 
    enough 
    for counting 

    When 
    the 
    dealing's 
    done 

    Every 
    gambler 
    knows 

    That 
    the 
    secret 
    to 
    surviv
    ing 

    Is 
    knowing 
    what 
    to throw 
    away 

    And 
    knowin' 
    just 
    what 
    to keep

    Cause 
    every 
    hand's 
    a 
    winner 

    And 
    every 
    hand's 
    a loser 

    The 
    best 
    that 
    you can 
    hope 
    for 

    Is 
    to 
    die 
    in 
    your 
    sleep

    You 
    gotta 
    nowhere 
    to 
    fall 
    in 

    Nowhere 
    to fall 
    in 

    Nowhere 
    to 
    walk 
    away 

    Nowhere 
    to 
    run 

    You 
    never 
    got 
    your 
    money 

    When 
    you're sittin' 
    at 
    the 
    table 

    Verse 2
    There'll 
    be 
    time 
    enough 
    for 
    countin' 

    Verse 3
    When 
    the 
    dealin's 
    done 

    You gotta 
    know 
    where 
    to hold 
    it 

    Know 
    where 
    to fold 
    it 

    Know 
    where 
    to walk 
    away 
    Verse 4

    Know 
    where 
    to run 

    You never 
    count 
    your 
    money 

    Verse 5
    When 
    you're 
    sittin' 
    at 
    the table 

    Verse 6
    There'll 
    be 
    time 
    enough 
    for 
    countin' 

    Verse 7
    When 
    the 
    dealin's 
    done 

    You've 
    got 
    nowhere 
    to 
    hold 
    it 

    Nowhere 
    to fold 
    it 

    Nowhere 
    to 
    walk 
    away 

    Nowhere 
    to 
    run 

    You've 
    been 
    around 
    too 
    much 

    When 
    you're sitting 
    at 
    the 
    table 

    There'll 
    be 
    time 
    enough 
    for 
    kindness 

    When 
    the 
    demons 
    come 


    Thank 

    Thank 
    you.

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
