  • Verse 1
    I've 
    been 
    here 
    longer 
    and 
    I'm 
    stronger 

    and 
    I've 
    seen 
    as 
    much 
    as 
    any 
    man 

    Now 
    many's 
    crossed 
    me 
    but none 
    have 
    bossed 

    me 
    and 
    don't 
    believe 
    they 
    ever 
    can 

    Verse 2

    Hello 
    son 
    I see 
    you're 
    wearin' 
    a gun 
    and you 

    say 
    you're on 
    your way 
    into 
    town 

    You say 
    your 
    Ma 
    told 
    you not 

    to 
    but 
    you feel 
    you 
    got 
    to 

    Get 
    that 
    man 
    that gunned 

    your 
    daddy 
    down 

    From 
    the sheriff's 
    office 
    to 
    the 
    gallows 
    boy 

    that's a mighty 
    mighty 
    short 
    walk 

    So why 
    you 
    worry 
    your horse 
    son 
    let you 
    and I 

    take 
    it easy 
    and 
    have 
    a little 
    talk 

    Cause 
    I've 
    been 
    here 
    longer... 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Well 
    I can 
    see 
    that 
    you're angry 
    and I guess 

    you've got 
    plenty 
    right 
    to 
    be 

    But the 
    law 
    can handle 
    your daddy's 
    killer 

    much 
    better 
    than 
    you or 
    me 

    And remember 
    your 
    promise 

    you 
    made 
    your mother

    That 
    you never 
    would 
    fought 
    on 
    a gun 

    So 
    go 
    on 
    home to 
    her boy 
    cause 
    she 
    needs 
    you 

    she 
    wouldn't stand 
    to 
    lose 
    her only 
    son 

    Well 
    I see 
    you 
    thought it 
    over 
    and I'm 
    glad 

    to see 
    you 
    going 
    home boy 

    And you 
    wanna know 
    what they 
    call 
    me 

    Well 
    I'm 
    just the 
    river 
    they call 

    me 
    the Mississippi 

    I've 
    been 
    here 
    longer...

    • 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.
