    • Verse 1
    Was 
    the 

    Nevada 
    winter 
    so 
    cold 
    and so 
    sad? 

    With 
    a river 
    too 
    many 
    to 
    flood? 

    The storming 
    wind 
    cut through 
    to 
    my 
    skin 

    The 
    cheek 
    cut 
    through 
    to 
    my blood 

    I 
    was 
    looking 
    for trouble 

    to 
    tangle 
    my 
    lines 

    When 
    trouble 
    come 
    a 
    -looking 
    for 
    me 

    I 
    knew I 
    was standing 
    on 

    treacherous 
    ground 

    But 
    I was 
    sinking 
    too 
    fast 
    to 
    run 
    free 

    With 
    her 
    schem
    ing 
    hide 
    -all 
    away 

    She 
    left 
    me 
    poor 
    enough 

    The 
    storm 
    and the 
    wind 

    got through 
    to 
    my 
    skin 

    But 
    she 
    got 
    through 
    to 
    me 
    blood 



    Permanent 



    Now 
    I 
    would not 
    be asking, 
    I 
    would not 
    be 

    be 
    seen 
    either 
    begging 

    on 
    a mountain 
    or 
    hill. 

    Still 
    I'm 
    petty 
    and 
    I'm 

    blind 
    with 
    my 
    hands 

    tied 
    behind, 

    but 
    I've 
    neither 
    a 
    mind 
    nor 
    a 
    will. 

    Oh, 
    it's bitter 
    the 
    needle 

    to 
    pull 
    the chain 
    away 

    Or 
    he'll always 
    believe 
    what 
    they 
    say 

    When 
    they 
    tell 
    him 
    it's hard 

    to 
    be 
    honest 
    and 
    good 

    Does 
    he 
    mind 
    when 
    he 
    doesn't 
    get 
    paid? 

    With 
    her 
    steaming 

    I 
    know 
    the 
    way 

    She 
    left 
    me 

    Born 
    in love 

    The 
    storming 
    away 

    Brought 
    truth 
    to 
    my 
    skin 

    But 
    she 
    brought 
    truth 
    to 
    me 

    Blood 

    With 
    a 
    steam
    ing 
    eye 
    the 

    way 
    she 
    left 
    me 
    pouring 
    down 

    A 
    storm 
    and 
    a wind 

    cut through 
    to 
    my 
    skin 

    But 
    she 
    comes 
    through 
    to 
    me 
    blind

      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.
