    1970 

    Straight-laced 
    leather-faced 
    he 
    rolled 

    In 
    like 
    he owned 
    the 
    two-bit town 

    town 


    Dol
    lar 
    bills 
    bulging 
    from 
    his 

    bell-bottomed 
    jeans 

    jeans 

    The 
    population 
    they 
    gathered 

    'round 


    Nothing 
    this exciting 
    since a 

    fer
    tilizer 
    truck 

    Blew a 
    front 
    tire 
    and landed 

    in 
    the 
    creek 

    Everybody 
    talkin' 
    everybody 
    strainin' 

    Try
    in' 
    to get 
    little 
    peek 

    Chorus: 
    It's just 
    the world 
    Verse 2

    they'll 
    never 
    know 

    Not a 
    country 
    fair 
    side 
    show 

    Reality 
    they'll 
    somehow 
    nev
    er see 

    He's 
    what 
    they've 
    tried 
    to 
    kill 

    With their 
    bibles 
    and 
    their stills 

    But 
    he's 
    not 
    weird 
    just 
    a man 
    that's 

    bein' 
    free 


    Verse 3
    Payin' 
    for the 
    gas 
    he wickedly 

    shouted 
    thanks 

    And con
    tinued 
    on his 
    journey 

    all 
    once 
    again 


    Just 
    about the 
    time 
    a siren 

    fast-approached 
    and 

    and 

    The 
    pot 
    bellied 
    sheriff 
    he whizzed 

    right 
    in 


    With his 
    self inflicted 
    grammar 

    started 
    shoutin' 

    Accusations 
    at the 
    long 
    haired 

    greasy 
    looking 
    ape 

    While 
    local 
    d.j. 
    from 
    the fifty 

    watt 
    station 
    got 

    The whole 
    damn 
    thing 
    on 
    tape 

    Verse 4

    Chorus: 

    It's just 
    the world 
    they'll 
    never 
    know 

    Not 
    a country 
    fair 
    side

    Verse 5
    The 
    holy 
    roller 
    preacher 
    told 
    the 

    eager 
    congregation 

    That the 
    devil 
    had 
    passed 
    right 

    through their 
    nest 


    But the 
    teenage 
    girls 

    with their 
    locks 
    in 
    curls 
    were 

    talkin' 
    'bout 
    that 
    hair 
    upon 

    his 
    chest 


    Now the 
    kids 
    got their 
    cookies 

    while the 
    preacher 

    Saved 
    some 
    souls and the 
    story 

    spread to 
    everyone 
    in 
    sight 

    Com
    motion 
    was 
    the word 

    and everybody 
    heard 

    He was 
    gone 
    before 
    the night 

    Verse 6

    Chorus: 

    It's 
    just 
    the world 
    they'll 
    never

    • 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.
