Verse 1
D

Sherry was a waitress

At the only joint in town
G

She had a reputation

As a girl who'd been around
D

Down Main Street after midnight

With a brand new pack of cigs
G

A fresh one hanging from her lips

A beer between her legs
A

She'd ride down to the river

And meet with all her friends
G

The road goes on forever

And the party never ends
Verse 2
D

Sonny was a loner

Bolder than the rest
G

He was going in the Navy

But he couldn't pass the test

So he hung around town

And he sold a little pot
G

The law got wind of Sonny

And one day he got caught
A

But he was back in business

When they set him free again

The road goes on forever

And the party never ends

D

Sonny's playing eight ball

At the joint where Sherry works

Some drunken out-of-towner

Put his hand up Sherry's skirt
D

Sonny took his pool cue

Laid the drunk out on the floor
G

Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar

Walked out of the door
A

She's running right behind him

Reaching for his hand

The road goes on forever

Verse 4
D

They jumped into his pick-up

Sonny jammed her down in gear

Sonny looked at Sherry

Said, "Let's get on out of here."

The stars were high above them

The moon was in the east
G

The sun was setting on them

When they reached Miami Beach

They got a motel by the water

And a quart of Bombay Gin
G

The road goes on forever
D
G

And the party never ends

D

They soon ran out of money

But Sonny knew a man
G

Who knew some Cuban refugees

Who dealt in contraband

Sonny met the Cuban

In a house just off the route

With a briefcase full of money

And a pistol in his boot

The cards were on the table

When the law came bustin' in
G

The road goes on forever
D
G

And the party never ends
Verse 6
D

The Cubans grabbed the goodies

Sonny grabbed the jack
G

He broke the bathroom window

And climbed on out the back
D

Sherry drove the pick-up

Through the alley on the side

Where the lawman tackled Sonny

And was reading him his rights

She stepped out in the alley

With a single-shot four-ten

The road goes on forever
D
G

And the party never ends
Verse 7
D

They left the lawman dying

And they made their get away
G

Got back to the motel

Just before the break of day
D

Sonny gave her all the money

And he blew a little kiss

If they ask you how this happened

Say I forced you into this

She watched him as his tail lights

Disappeared around the bend
G

The road goes on forever
D
G

And the party never ends

There's a main street after midnight

Just like it was before
G

Twenty-one months later

At the local grocery store
D

Sherry buys a paper

And a cold six-pack of beer

The headlines read that Sonny

Is going to the chair
A

She pulls back onto main street

In her new Mercedes-Benz
G

The road goes on forever

  • 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.
