    to be 
    goin' 
    that 
    fast 

    Two 
    fishermen 
    sat 
    in

    green 
    Jon 
    boat 

    Makin'

    Full 
    moon 
    rising 
    big

    pale

    garette 
    boat 
    didn't 

    even

    down 

    It

    up 
    a big 
    old 

    rooster 
    tail 

    And

    ran 
    right 
    through 
    'em 

    Verse 4
    with 
    a sickening

    Verse 5
    The

    They 
    hauled 
    up 
    the body 

    with 
    rope 
    and 
    a hook 

    They 
    got 
    no 
    leads 
    and no 
    suspects 

    State 
    trooper 
    says 
    they're not 

    even

    who killed 
    the 
    fishermen? 

    Had 
    to have been 
    some 
    fat 
    cat 

    Them 
    ci
    garette 
    boats, 
    they cost 
    many 

    Can't 
    just 
    anybody 
    buy 

    boat 
    like 
    that 

    Verse 7

    Does the 
    Governor 
    know 
    who killed 

    the fishermen? 

    Verse 8

    They 
    can't 
    find 
    the boat, 

    they can't 
    find 
    the trailer 

    They were 
    watchin' 
    the 
    ramps, 
    big 
    mistake 

    I'll bet 
    you the farm 
    it's in 

    somebodies' boathouse 

    It never 
    made 
    the ramp 

    and it's 
    still 
    on the 
    lake 

    They 
    try 
    to get 
    Verse 9
    warrant...dream all you 

    want 

    they won't 
    be searchin' 

    any 
    lake 
    front 
    homes 

    Justice 
    is blind 
    to them 
    that 
    own 
    it 

    Money 
    don't 
    talk 
    when 
    it's 

    one 
    of their own 

    Money 
    don't 
    talk 
    when 

    it's one 
    of their

    • 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.
