    Chorus 1
    You 
    heard 
    about 
    the 
    legend 
    of 
    Jesse 
    James 

    And 
    John 
    Henry, 

    just 
    to 
    mention 
    some 
    names 

    But 
    there's 
    truck 
    driving 
    legend 

    in 
    the 
    south 
    today 

    man 
    called 
    Bandit 
    from 
    Atlanta 
    G.A. 

    Every 
    gear 
    jammer 
    knows 
    his 
    name 

    They 
    swear 
    he 
    got 
    icewater 
    runnin' 
    in 
    his 
    veins 

    foot 
    like 
    lead, 
    and 
    nerves 
    like 
    steel 

    He's 
    gonna 
    go 
    to 
    glory 
    ridin 
    18 
    wheels 

    Verse 1
    He 
    left 
    Atlanta 
    back 
    in 
    '63 

    Haulin' 
    him 
    load 
    up 
    to 
    Tennessee 

    He 
    hit 
    Monteagle 
    in 
    driving 
    rain 

    So 
    hard 
    he 
    couldn't 
    even 
    see 
    the 
    passing 
    lane 

    Well 
    he 
    started 
    down 
    the 
    grade 

    when 
    he 
    lost 
    the 
    gear 

    He 
    hit 
    them 
    brakes 
    found 
    he 
    had 
    no 
    air 

    The 
    Monteagle 
    grade 
    is 
    steep 
    and 
    long 

    And 
    every
    body 
    that 
    seen 
    it 

    thought 
    the 
    Bandit 
    was 
    gone 

    Verse 2
    Well 
    his 
    truck 
    jack-knifed, 

    turned 
    completely 
    'round 

    He 
    was 
    coming 
    down 
    backwards 

    'bout 
    the 
    speed 
    of 
    sound 

    lot 
    of 
    folks 
    seen 
    him 
    and 
    they 
    all 
    say 

    He 
    had 
    his 
    head 
    out 
    the 
    window 

    yelling 
    clear 
    the 
    way 

    Well 
    he 
    got 
    to 
    the 
    bottom 
    safe 
    and 
    sound 

    Every
    body 
    asked 
    Bandit 
    how 
    he 
    made 
    it 
    down 

    He 
    said 
    folks 
    when 
    the 
    truck 

    picked 
    up 
    too 
    much 
    speed 

    just 
    ran 
    along 
    beside 
    it 
    and 
    drug 
    my 
    feet 

    Chorus 2
    You 
    heard

    • 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.
