    Verse 1
    I 
    was 
    born 
    on 
    this 

    mountain 
    a 
    long 
    time 
    ago 

    Before 
    they 
    knocked 
    down 
    the 
    timber 

    and 
    strip- 
    mined 
    the coal 

    When 
    you 
    rose 
    in 
    the 
    mornin' 

    before 
    it 
    was 
    light 

    To 
    go 
    down 
    in 
    that 
    dark 
    hole 
    and 

    come 
    back 
    up 
    at 
    night 

    Verse 2

    I 
    was 
    born 
    on 
    this 
    mountain, 

    this 
    mountain's 
    my 
    home 

    She 
    holds 
    me 
    and 
    keeps 
    me 

    from 
    worry 
    and 
    woe 

    Well, 
    they took 
    everything 
    that 
    she 

    gave 
    - now 
    they're 
    gone 

    But 
    I'll 
    die 
    on 
    this 
    mountain, 

    this 
    mountain's 
    my 
    home 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    I 
    was 
    young 
    on 
    this 
    mountain 

    but 
    now 
    I 
    am 
    old 

    And 
    I 
    knew 
    every 
    holler, 

    every 
    cool 
    swimmin' 
    hole 

    'Til 
    one 
    night 
    I 
    lay 
    down 

    and 
    woke 
    up 
    to 
    find 

    That 
    my childhood 
    was 
    over 

    and 
    I 
    went 
    down 
    in 
    the 
    mine 

    Verse 4
    I 
    was born 
    on 
    this mountain, 

    this mountain's 
    my home 

    She holds 
    me and 
    keeps me 

    from worry and 
    woe 

    Well, they 
    took everything 
    that she 

    gave - now they're 
    gone 

    But 
    I'll die on 
    this mountain, 

    this 
    mountain's 
    my 
    home 

    Verse 5
    There's a 
    hole in 
    this 
    mountain 
    and 

    it's 
    dark 
    an
    d 
    it's 
    deep 

    And 
    God 
    only 
    knows 
    all 

    the secrets 
    it 
    keeps 

    There's 
    a chill 
    in 
    the 
    air 

    only 
    miner
    s 
    can 
    feel 

    And 
    there's 
    ghosts 
    in 
    the 
    tun

    nels 
    that 
    the 
    company 
    sealed 

    Verse 6
    I 
    was born 
    on this mountain, 
    this 

    mountain's 
    my home 

    She holds 
    me and 
    keeps me 

    from worry and 
    woe 

    Well, 
    they took 
    everything 
    that she 

    gave - now they're 
    gone 

    But I'll die 
    on this mountain, 

    this mountain's my 
    home

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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.

      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.
