    Verse 1
    G

    My body was strong,

    my mind came along
    C
    G

    A journey that would
    Am
    G
    C

    take me so far
    Am

    From the life I had known
    D
    Am

    The seeds I'd sown
    D
    Am
    D
    G

    I jumped in my beat -up old car

    But the road was so wide

    There was nowhere to hide
    Am

    I hid in my tears down there

    All of your songs were like friends
    C
    D
    G

    Treated each line like a child
    A

    Some stayed close to home
    D

    and others ran wild

    And your body and your

    soul were so tight
    G

    They were stolen by thieves in the night

    So I ran like a fool, guarding my jewels
    C
    G

    With so many friends by my side
    C
    Am

    But between you and me,
    Am

    it's so hard to see
    D
    Am
    D
    G

    So many good dreams died

    Cause I've seen all the hustle,

    felt all of the muscle, baby,
    C

    when I was down on the scrime
    Am
    D

    Now I'm livin' in Vegas,
    Am
    D

    mak in' my wages,
    Am
    D
    G

    my old lady sings in the lounge

    Sometimes at night,

    if the moon shines so bright
    C
    G
    C

    My Buick and I take a spin
    Am

    And my mind drifts away,

    the old bygone days
    Am
    D

    Lonesome way back when, of course

    • 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.
