The Letter Edged In Black easy guitar chords by 
Johnny Cash
N/A•
Verse 1
G
I was standin' by my
D
Window yesterday morning
G
Without a thought of worry or regret
When I saw the postman
C
Comin' down the pathway
D
He was bringin' me a
G
letter edged in black
Verse 2
G
Well, he rang the bell and
D
Whistled as he waited
Then he said "Good mornin' to ya,
G
Jack"
But he never knew the sorrow
C
That he brought me
D
When he handed me that
G
letter edged in black
Verse 3
G
With trembling hand I took
D
The letter from him
I broke the seal and this
G
is what it said:
"Come home my boy
C
Your dear old father wants you
D
Come home my boy
G
Your dear old mother's dead"
The last words that your
D
Mother ever uttered was:
G
"Tell my boy I want him to come back
My eyes are dim
C
My poor old heart is breaking
D
And, I'm writing you this
G
Letter edged in black"
D
I bowed my head in sorrow and in silence
G
The sunshine of my life, it all has fled
Since the postman brought
That letter yesterday
C
D
Morning saying "come home my boy
G
Your poor old mother's dead"
Verse 4
G
"Those angry words I wish
D
I'd never spoken
You know I never meant them, don't you
G
Jack?
D
G
May the angels bear me witness,
D
C
I am asking
D
Your forgiveness in this letter
G
Edged in black"

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!!!”

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
