Verse 1
G
A
G
I left
my home in
Norfolk,
Virginia,
C
California, on my mind
D
I straddled that greyhound
and rode it into
Raleigh and all across
Carolina
G
We stopped at
Charlotte to buy a pass right here,
we never was a minute late
C
D
And we were 90 miles out of
Atlanta by sundown
Rollin' out of
Georgia
G
State
We had no trouble
It turned into a struggle
Halfway across
C
Alabama
D
And that hound broke down
And left us all stranded
In downtown
Birmingham
G
Hey!
C
D
G
All right!
Right away,
bought me a through -train ticket
Riding across
C
Mississippi clean
D
And I was on that midnight fly
Out of
Birmingham,
Spokane and
New
Orleans
G
Somebody helped me get out of
Louisiana
Just to help me hit the
C
Houston town
D
There are people there who
care a little about me
G
And they won't let the poor boy down
Sure as your ball they bought me a silk suit
C
Put luggage in my hand
D
And when I woke up I was over
Albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land
G
Hey!
Interlude 1

Verse 2
G
Workin' on a cheap old steak aisle
I caught it flyin' over to the
Golden
C
State
D
When a pilot told us in thirteen minutes
G
He would set us at the terminal gate
Swing low chariot, calm down easy
C
Taxi to the terminal zone
D
Cut your wings, crew your wigs
G
And let me make it to the telephone
Los
Angeles,
Skimmy,
Norfolk,
Virginia
C
Tidewater flow 1009
D
Tell the folks back home
This is a promised land calling
G
And the po' boy is on the line

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
