Verse 1
G
Come to the door, Ma,
C
G
and unlock the chain
I was just passin' through and
C
got caught in the rain
There's nothin' I want, nothin'
G
that you need say
Just let me lie down for a while
D
G
and I'll be on my way
C
I was no more than a kid when you put me on the Southern
Verse 2
G
Queen
With the police on my back
C
I fled to New Orleans
I fought in the dockyards and with the money I
G
made
I knew the fight was my home
and blood was my trade
C
Baton Rouge, Ponchatoula, and Lafayette
Verse 3
G
town
Well they paid me their money,
C
Ma, I knocked the men down
I did what I did well it come
G
easily
Restraint and mercy,
D
G
C
Ma, were always strangers to me
G
C
Verse 4
G
I fought champion Jack Thompson in a
C
G
field full of mud
Rain poured through the tent to the canvas
C
and mixed with our blood
In the twelfth I slipped my tongue
G
over my broken jaw
I stood over him and pounded his bloody
C
body into the floor
Well the bell rang and rang and
G
still I kept on
'Till I felt my glove leather slip
'tween his skin and bone
C
Then the women and the money came fast and the days I lost
Verse 5
G
track
The women red, the money green,
C
but the numbers were black
I fought for the men in their silk suits
G
to lay down their bets
I took my good share, Ma, I have
no regrets
Verse 6
G
Then I took the fix at the state armory with big John
McDowell
From high in the rafters
C
I watched myself fall
As they raised his arm my stomach
G
twisted and the sky it went black
I stuffed my bag with their good money
D
G
and I never looked back
C
Understand, in the end, Ma, every man plays the
Verse 7
G
game
If you know me one different then
speak out his name
C
Ma, if my voice now
you don't recognize
G
Then just open the door and look
D
G
into your dark eyes
C
I ask of you nothin', not
a kiss not a smile,
G
Just open the door and let me
D
lie down for a while
G
Now
Verse 8
the gray rain's fallin' and my
C
G
ring fightin's done
So in the work fields and alleys I take all
C
who'll come
If you're a better man than me then
G
just step to the line
Show me your money and speak out
C
your crime
Now there's nothin' I want, Ma, nothin'
G
that you need say
Just let me lie down for a while and
D
G
I'll be on my way
Verse 9
G
Tonight in the shipyard a man draws a circle
in the dirt
I move to the center and I take off
C
my shirt
I study him for the cuts, the scars,
the pain,
G
Man, nor time can erase
I move hard to the left and
C
G
C
I strike to the face
G

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
