    Verse 1
    D

    Well, hello there,
    G

    little lady. I'm just a lonesome guitar picker.
    C
    G

    You'd never know from the way I
    D

    look that I'm an educated man.
    G

    I got the music in my blood, little lady,
    D
    G
    C

    makes me ramble across the land.
    G

    The troubles on my mind,
    D

    this old guitar in my hand.

    I left my home and family,
    G

    I wasn't much more than a child.
    C
    G

    I don't count the towns no more,
    D

    sure don't count the miles.

    I guess I'll never have a home,
    G
    C

    at least the way it's not your kind.
    G

    I just stopped here in this bar to try to drink
    D
    C
    G
    D

    some peace of mind.


    Well, I usually play for my drinks and tips,
    G
    C

    except when I play for free.
    G

    This old guitar and a bank of songs,
    D

    that's about all there is to me.

    Little lady, if you don't mind,
    G

    I think I'll make a song for you.
    C
    G

    I'll sing it down the road
    Em
    G

    somewhere.
    D

    It's the most that I can do.

    Lord, the music just won't turn me loose.
    G
    D
    G
    C

    It's a curse to be this kind.
    Em

    Little lady, you'll never know
    D

    the comfort that I find

    And just talking to someone like you,
    G

    in this bar along the way,
    C
    D
    G

    sure ain't the usual kind I find to
    D
    C
    D
    G
    D

    brighten up my day.


    And the night when I lay down along
    G

    some road to try to sleep,
    C

    Just a memory in your treasure chest,
    G
    D

    this is all that you may keep.

    No wait now,

    I got more than that to give you.
    G

    It's this locket made of gold.
    C

    My mother gave it to me ma 'am,
    G
    D

    now it's yours to hold.

    Now don't try the thing,
    G

    do I need a place to stay?
    C
    G

    Well, thank you, little lady.
    D
    C
    Am

    Why don't we pick up a bottle on the way?

    • 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.”
