  • Verse 1
    I woke 
    up in a 
    cold 
    sweat, 

    from 
    dream 
    at 
    3am, 

    I was driftin' 
    on 
    a sea 
    of shadows 

    the rain 
    was whippin' 
    in the 
    wind 

    I saw 
    a man 
    dressed 
    all 
    in 
    black, 

    reach 
    out 
    and 
    take 
    the helm, 

    And he 
    charted 
    us 
    a course, 

    out 
    into 
    the spirit 
    realm. 

    can 
    taste 
    the salt, 

    feel 
    the blisters 
    on my 
    hand 

    As 
    I'm 
    pulling 
    at 
    the 
    ores, 

    rowing 
    on 
    the 
    glory 
    land, 

    He's 
    sitting 
    in 
    the stern, 

    singin' 
    hymns 
    and 
    talkin' 
    trash 

    Is 
    my 
    broke 
    guardian 
    an
    gel, 

    the 
    Ghost 
    of Johnny 
    Cash. 

    Well, 
    Johnny's 
    quoting 
    from 
    the bible, 

    while 
    I'm 
    trying 
    to steer 
    this 
    leaky 
    craft, 

    His 
    familiar 
    voice 
    reminds 
    me 
    that 
    I'm 

    man 
    who's 
    cut 
    in 
    half, 

    His tarnished 
    halo 
    slips 
    and shines, 

    and the 
    raging 
    bellows 
    crash, 

    and 
    I'm 
    riding 
    out 
    the de
    luge 

    with the 
    ghost 
    of Johnny 
    Cash. 

    Some 
    sinners 
    need 
    their 
    saint

    to 
    be 
    survivors 
    of 
    the fall, 

    'Cause 
    when 
    your 
    down 
    here 
    on 
    your 
    knees, 

    most 
    angels 
    look 
    to 
    tall, 

    So 
    I'll 
    just 
    live 
    this 
    life 
    out 

    dust 
    to dust 
    and 
    ash 
    to 
    ash, 

    Verse 2
    With 
    my 
    guide 
    from 
    the 
    other 
    side 
    the 
    ghost 
    of 
    Johnny 
    Cash, 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    You 
    gotta 
    stand 
    for 
    something, 

    'cause when 
    you're 
    gone 
    your 
    gone 

    The devil 
    lost 
    a lot 
    of souls 
    when Johnny 

    put 
    that 
    black 
    suit 
    on, 

    He's 
    still 
    flipping 
    of 
    the 
    fair

    icies, laughing 
    that 
    old 
    scratch 

    While 
    he 
    haunts 
    the 
    halls 
    of 
    heaven 

    , the ghosts 
    of 
    Johnny 
    Cash 

    Some 
    sin
    ners 
    need 
    their 
    saint

    to 
    be 
    sur
    vivors 
    of 
    the fall, 

    'Cause 
    when 
    your 
    down 
    here 
    on 
    your 
    knees, 

    most 
    angels 
    look 
    to 
    tall, 

    So 
    I'll 
    just 
    live 
    this 
    life 
    out, 

    dust 
    to dust 
    and 
    ash 
    to 
    ash 

    With 
    my 
    guide 
    from 
    the

    Cash, 

    Yeah, 
    I'll

    • 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.
