    Verse 1
    Well, 
    hello 
    there, 

    little lady. 
    I'm 
    just 
    lonesome 
    guitar 
    picker

    You'd 
    never 
    know 
    from 
    the 
    way I 

    look 
    that 
    I'm 
    an 
    educated 
    man. 

    got 
    the 
    music 
    in 
    my blood, 
    little 
    lady, 

    makes 
    me ramble 
    across 
    the 
    land. 

    The 
    troubles 
    on 
    my 
    mind, 

    this 
    old 
    gui
    tar 
    in 
    my 
    hand. 

    left 
    my 
    home 
    and 
    family, 

    wasn't 
    much 
    more 
    than 
    child. 

    don't 
    count 
    the 
    towns 
    no 
    more, 

    sure 
    don't 
    count 
    the miles. 

    guess 
    I'll 
    never 
    have 
    a home, 

    at 
    least 
    the way 
    it's not 
    your 
    kind. 

    just 
    stopped 
    here 
    in 
    this bar 
    to 
    try 
    to drink 

    some 
    peace 
    of mind. 


    Well, 
    usually 
    play 
    for 
    my 
    drinks 
    and 
    tips, 

    except 
    when 
    play 
    for 
    free. 

    This 
    old 
    guitar 
    and 
    a bank 
    of songs, 

    that's about 
    all 
    there 
    is 
    to me. 

    Little 
    lady, 
    if 
    you don't 
    mind, 

    think 
    I'll 
    make 
    song 
    for 
    you. 

    I'll 
    sing 
    it 
    down 
    the 
    road 

    somewhere. 

    It's the 
    most 
    that 
    can do. 

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

    It's 
    curse 
    to 
    be 
    this 
    kind. 

    Little 
    lady, 
    you'll 
    never 
    know 

    the 
    comfort 
    that 
    find 

    And 
    just 
    talking 
    to 
    someone 
    like 
    you, 

    in 
    this 
    bar 
    along 
    the way, 

    sure 
    ain't 
    the 
    usual 
    kind 
    find 
    to 

    brighten 
    up 
    my 
    day. 


    And 
    the 
    night 
    when I 
    lay 
    down 
    along 

    some 
    road 
    to 
    try 
    to 
    sleep, 

    Just 
    memory 
    in 
    your 
    treasure 
    chest, 

    this 
    is 
    all 
    that 
    you 
    may 
    keep. 

    No 
    wait 
    now, 

    got 
    more 
    than 
    that 
    to give 
    you. 

    It's 
    this 
    locket 
    made 
    of 
    gold. 

    My 
    mother 
    gave 
    it 
    to me 
    ma 
    'am, 

    now 
    it's 
    yours 
    to 
    hold. 

    Now 
    don't 
    try 
    the 
    thing, 

    do 
    I need 
    place 
    to 
    stay? 

    Well, 
    thank 
    you, 
    little lady. 

    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.
