D
G
D
I wish
I'd known
C
a man a little better
G
to turn my mama on
D
It must have been a hell of a man,
A
cause mama was a lady,
G
D
don't you know?
Mama was no prude,
but she was proper,
G
D
never wore her dress too short
She didn't care if you did,
A
D
but she'd have never taken a drink
Grandma Kate did the best
she could to see
G
D
Mama grew up right
A
So she'd be fittin' for Colton one day
G
D
and to wear some gentleman's ring
I wish I'd known a man
C
a little better
G
to turn my mama on
D
They say he was always laughing
A
D
and sang a real sweet song
C
I wish I'd known the man a little better
G
to turn my mama on
D
He must have been a hell of a man,
A
G
D
cause mama was a lady, don't you know?
I hear he came to town one day
G
D
in a rusty old 49 Ford
Selling ladies' shoes
A
D
and assorted greeting cards
He was killin' good lookin'
and easy to like
G
D
and turnin' all the ladies' heads
But he saw mama first,
A
and you heard stories about how
G
D
some of them traveling men are
I wish I'd known the man
C
a little better
G
that turned my mama on
D
She was always laughing
A
D
and sang a real sweet song
I wish I'd known the man
C
a little better
G
that turned my mama on
D
He must have been a hell of a man,
A
cause mama was a lady,
D
don't you know
Mama seemed to forget the things
that
G
D
Grandma Kate had always told her
She ran away one night
A
D
with that traveling man
They bought gas at a rebus truck stop
G
and drove to DeSoto County
D
A
But he brought home next day a lady
G
D
with a ring upon her hand
Mama's told me about the fever
that took him
G
when I was barely five
D
A
And I can remember him pitching me up
D
and catching me
A
D
Lord, I loved to sit and listen to her
G
tell me about my daddy
D
She says he thought
A
the sun must surely rise
G
D
and she said he
I wish I'd known the man
C
a little better
G
to turn my mama on
D
She said he was always laughing
A
D
and sang a real sweet song
C
I wish I'd known a man
a little better
G
that turned my mama on
D
He must have been a hell of a man,
A
cause mama was a lady,
G
D
don't you know?
C
I wish I'd known a man a
little better
G
that turned my mama on

He must have been a hell of a man,

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 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
