The Hard Way
D
The hard way to get here,
the hard way to stay
A
The hard way to work
D
and the hard way to play
B
D
The hard way, the long way,
the rough way, the slow
A
The hard way to get here
D
and the old hard way to go
They tell me that I first saw light in 1844
A
D
In a wagon in the hills of Tennessee
And my mother soon lay dead
G
With an arrow through her head
A
D
So it started out the old hard way for me
Bb
Eb
The hard way to get here,
Bb
the hard way to stay
The hard way to work
Eb
and the hard way to play
The hard way, the long way,
C
Bb
the rough way, the slow
The old hard way to get here
Eb
and the old hard way to go
I hunted possum and raccoon
to get my share of grub.
Bb
F
Bb
I fought the bear to
Eb
rob the honeybee
When I was only five
that is how I stayed alive
Bb
Everything has been the old hard
Eb
way for me. I
Never settled anywhere.
Bb
He never earned no pay
a bottle was his steady company.
Eb
I
I never learned to write,
Ab
all I learned to do is fight
Bb
Eb
Everything's been the old hard way for me
B
E
The hard way to get here,
B
the hard way to stay
The hard way to work
and the hard way to play
E
The hard way, the long way,
B
the rough way, the slow
The hard way to get here
E
and the old hard way to go
The bugle started blowin' back in 1861
B
E
I pulled up stakes and volunteered with Lee
I marched with old Stonewall
A
till I met a cannonball
B
Everything's been the
E
old hard way for me
C
F
The hard way to get here,
the hard way to stay
C
The hard way to work
F
and the hard way to play
The hard way, the long way,
C
the rough way, the slow
The hard way to get here
F
and the old hard way to go
C
F
So all good folk who come this way
and look upon this stone,
C
please say a prayer and
F
set my spirit free.
Won't you help me reach my goal,
Bb
because I'm down here
Gm
shoveling coal.
C
Everything is still the old hard
F
way for me.
Gm
Everything is still the
C
F
old hard way for me.
Gm
C
Everything is still the old hard
F
way for me.

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.”
