    Verse 1
    (Ted 
    Harris) 

    Verse 2
    Back home 
    the family's 

    eatin' 
    dinner 

    There's 
    a fire 
    in 
    the fireside 

    warm 
    and 
    bright 

    But I 
    won't 
    be 
    there 
    today 

    'cause I've 
    got 
    a debt 
    to pay 

    And 
    they don't 
    let 
    black 

    sheep 
    stray 
    from 
    the 
    road. 

    No 
    they 
    don't 
    let 
    black 
    sheep 

    stray 
    from 
    the 
    road. 

    My 
    Verse 3
    throat 
    is 
    out 
    crying 
    for wa
    ter 

    Lord, 
    that 
    wind 
    is 
    blowing 
    cold 

    That 
    guard 
    is 
    watching 
    me 

    like 
    hawk 
    up 
    in 
    the tree 

    And 
    I'm 
    longing 
    to 
    be 

    free 
    from 
    the 
    road 

    Yes, 
    I'm 
    longing 
    to 
    be 

    free 
    from 
    the 
    road. 

    Verse 4
    Every 
    bone 
    in
    side 
    my 
    body's 
    aching 

    And 
    that 
    guard 
    don't 
    care 
    if 
    live 
    or 
    die 

    He 
    told 
    me 
    yesterday 
    son don't 

    try 
    to 
    get 
    away 

    For I'll 
    lay 
    you 
    down 
    to stay 
    by 
    the road 

    Yes, 
    I'll 
    lay 
    you 
    down 
    to stay 
    by 
    the road...

    • 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.
