Verse 1
D

Way back in my memory
G
D

there's a scene that I recall
A

Of a little run-down cabin
D

cabin in the woods

Where my dad never promised that our
G
D

blue moon would turn gold
A

But he laid awake nights
D

wishin' that it would
Verse 2
D

When the world was on our radio,
G
D

hard work was on our minds
A

We lived our day-to-day in in
D

in plain dirt fashion

With ol' overalls and cotton balls
G
D

all strapped across your back
A

Man, it's hard to make believe
D

there ain't nothing wrong
Verse 3
Bm
A

But mama kept the Bible read,
G

and daddy kept our family fed
D

And somewhere in between
A

I must have grown
Bm

'Cause someday I was dreamin'
A
G

that a song that I was singin'
D

Takes me down the road to
A

where I want to go
Verse 4
Bm
A

Now I know it's a long,
D
G
D
A

hard road
D


Sometimes, I remember when
G
D

I stay up late at night
A

When the sun up came,
D

we got up and went

In the shadows of a working day,
G
D

our moonlight hours spent
A

Singin' songs along with grandma's radio
Verse 5
D

Now I'm beatin' down a ol' blacktop road,
G
D

sleepin' in a sack
A
D

Livin' in my memories all in vain

'Cause those city lights ain't all that bright,
G
D

compared to what it's like
A

To see lightning bugs go
D

dancin' in the rain
Verse 6
Bm
A

Mama played the guitar then,
G

and daddy made the saw blade bend
D

And raindrops played
A

the tin roof like a drum
Bm
A

But I just kept on dreamin' that
G

a song that I was singin'
D

Takes me down the road
A

to where my name is known
Verse 7
Bm
A

Now I'm gone, and it's a long,
D

hard road
Bm
A

Yes, I know, it's a long,
D

hard road

  • 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.
