    Verse 1
    Harry 
    Truman 
    was 
    our 
    president 

    A coke 
    and 
    burger 
    cost 
    you 
    thirty 
    cent

    was still 
    in love 
    with 
    Mavis 
    Brown 

    On 
    the night 
    Hank 
    Williams 

    came 
    to town 


    Verse 2
    I Love 
    Lucy 
    debuted on 
    TV 

    That 
    was 
    one 
    big 
    event 

    we 
    didn't 
    see 

    'Cause 
    no one 
    stayed 

    at home 
    for miles 
    around 

    It 
    was 
    the night 
    Hank 
    Williams 

    came 
    to town 


    Verse 3
    Mama 
    ironed 
    my shirt 
    and 
    daddy 

    let me 
    take 
    the truck 

    I drove 
    on 
    out 
    to Grapevine 

    and 
    picked 
    old Mavis 
    up 

    We 
    hit that 
    county 
    line 
    for one 
    quick 
    round 

    On 
    the night 
    Hank 
    Williams 

    came 
    to town 

    Verse 4

    A thousand 
    people 
    sweltered 
    in 
    the gym 

    Then 
    I heard 
    someone 
    whisper 

    hey, that's 
    him 

    That's 
    when 
    the crowd 

    let out 
    this 
    deafening 
    sound 

    It 
    was 
    the night 
    Hank 

    Williams 
    came 
    to town 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 5
    On 
    and on 
    he sang 
    into 
    the night 

    'Jambalaya', 'Cheatin' heart', I saw 

    the light 

    How'd 
    they get 
    Miss 
    Audrey 
    in 
    that 
    gown 

    On 
    the night 
    Hank 
    Williams 

    Interlude 2
    came 
    to town 



    Verse 6
    Mavis 
    had her 
    picture 
    made 

    with Hank 
    outside 
    his car 

    She said 
    he 
    sure 
    is 
    humble 

    for a Grand 
    Old 
    Opry 
    Star 

    Mavis 
    said 
    why 
    don't 
    we 
    hang 
    around 

    It 
    ain't 
    of
    ten 
    that 
    Hank 

    Williams 
    comes 
    to town

    • 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.
