The Hitter chords by 
Tom Jones
N/A•
Intro 1
G
Verse 1
G
Come to the door Ma, and unlock the chain
I was just passing through and got
C
caught in the rain
There's nothing I want,
G
nothing that you need say
Just let me lie down for a while
and I'll be on my way
Verse 2
G
I was no more than a kid when you put
me on the Southern Queen
With the police on my back
C
I fled to New Orleans
I fought in the dockyards and with
G
the money I made
I knew the fight was my home
and blood was my trade
Verse 3
G
Baton Rouge,
Poncitoula, and Lafayette town
Well they paid me their money Ma
C
I knocked the men down
G
I did what I did well it come easily
Restraint and mercy Ma were
always strangers to me
Verse 4
G
I fought champion Jack Thompson
in a 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
Am
G
over my broken jaw
I stood over him and pounded his
bloody body into the floor
Well the bell rang and rang
C
and still I kept on
Till I felt my glove leather slip
G
'tween his skin and bone
Verse 5
G
Then the women and the money came
fast and the days I lost track
The women red, the money green,
C
but the numbers were black
I fought for the men in their silk
G
suits 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 he raised his arm my stomach
G
twisted and the sky it went black
I stuffed my bag with their good money
and I never looked back
Verse 7
G
Understand,
C
in the end Ma every man plays the game
If you know me one different
G
then speak out his name
Ma if my voice now you don't recognize
Then just open the door and look
C
into your dark eyes
I ask of you nothing,
Am
G
not a kiss not a smile,
Just open the door and let
me lie down for a while
Verse 8
G
Now the gray rain's falling
and my ring fightin's done
So in the work fields and alleys
C
I take all who'll come
If you're a better man than me then
G
just step to the line
C
Now there's nothing I want Ma
G
nothing that you need say
Just let me lie down for a while
and 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
C
I take off my shirt
I study him for the cuts, the scars, the pain,
G
Man, nor the time can erase
Outro 1
I move hard to the left and 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
