Bm
My name is Charlie Brannan,
G
Em
from Charleston I come.
C
G
Em
I've traveled this wide world over,
G
some ups and downs I've had.
Em
I've traveled this wide world over,
G
some ups and downs I've saw.
Em
G
Bm
But I never really knew what misery was
G
D
Em
Till I hit old Arkansas
G
Got off the train in Little Rock
in the middle of winter
Nobody there to extend to me his paw
Nor bid me welcome to
Em
D
the state of Arkansas
G
And it was cold
I dodged behind the depot
Bm
G
Em
to dodge that blizzard wind.
G
Em
G
Em
I met a walking skeleton.
G
Bm
G
He said his name was Thomas Quinn.
C
G
Em
Well, his hair hung down in rat tails
G
Bm
G
Em
on his lean and lantern jaw.
G

He invited me to his hotel.

He said it was the best in Arkansas.
Em
D
G
D
G
I followed my conductor
Bm
Em
to his respective place
C
G
where pity and starvation
Em
G
were to be seen on every face.
Well his bread it was corn dodger
Em
and his meat I could not chaw,
G
Em
G
Bm
but he charged me a half a dollar
Em
D
in the state of Arkansas.
G
And I went out and got me a job
D
G
on a farm, farming.
Em
G
But I didn't care for
D
G
C
G
the work of the farmer,
or his wife, and none of his children.
So I went up to him one day
and I said, Mister,
I'm going to quit this job
and you can just pay
Em
G
me off right now.
He says, okay, son,
if that's the way you feel about it,
and he took me out in the barn
Em
and he handed me a mink skin.
G
I said, I don't want this thing,
I want my money for the work I've done.
He says, son, you may not know it,
but mink skins
is what we're using
C
G
for currency down here now.
D
G
So I took it, went into town,
Em
hunted up a place,
A
put my mink skin up on
G
the counter
and darned if the bartender
Em
didn't toss me a pint.
G
Then he picked up my mink skin,
blowed the hair back on it,
put it under the counter,
Em
fetched me out 14 rabbit skins
G
Em
G
and three possum hides for change.
Bm
I'm going to the Indian Territory
G
Em
and will live outside the law.
G
I'll bid farewell to the cane brakes
in the state of Arkansas.
If you ever see me back again,
I'll extend to you my paw.
Bm
But it'll be through a telescope
Em
G
from hell to Arkansas.

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

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
