    When 

    first 
    unto 
    this 
    country 

    a 
    stranger 
    I 
    came 

    I 
    courted 
    a 
    fair 
    maid 

    and 
    Nancy 
    was 
    her name 

    I 
    courted 
    her 
    for 
    long, 

    her 
    love 
    I did 
    not 
    ob
    tain 

    Do 
    you 
    think 
    I've 
    got 
    any 

    reason 
    or 
    right 
    to complain 

    I 
    rode 
    to 
    see my 
    Nancy, 

    I 
    rode 
    both 
    day 
    and night 

    I 
    courted 
    dearest 
    Nancy, 

    my 
    whole 
    heart's 
    to the 
    land 

    I 
    rode 
    to see 
    my 
    Nancy 

    and 
    I 
    rode 
    both 
    night 
    and day 

    Till 
    I 
    noticed 
    the 
    stallion 

    both 
    white 
    lookin' 
    and 
    gray 

    Well 
    the 
    sheriff's 
    men they 
    followed 

    an
    d 
    they'd 
    overtaken 
    me 

    They 
    carted 
    me 
    away 
    to 

    the pen
    itentiary 

    They 
    opened 
    up 
    the 
    door, 

    yes 
    and 
    then 
    they 
    shoved 
    me in

    They 
    shaved 
    off 
    my 
    head 

    and 
    they 
    cleared 
    away 
    my 
    chin 

    And 
    they 
    beat 
    me 
    and they 
    banged 
    me, 


    they fed 
    me on 
    dry 
    beans 

    Till 
    I 
    wished 
    to 
    my 
    own 
    soul 

    I 
    had nev
    er 
    been 
    a 
    thief 

    My 
    hands 
    in 
    my 
    pockets 

    as 
    my 
    cap 
    put on 
    so 
    bold 

    My 
    coat 
    of many 
    color
    s 

    like 
    a 
    Joseph's 
    coat of 
    old 

    When 
    first 
    on 
    to this 
    coun
    try 

    a 
    stranger 
    I 
    came 

    I 
    courted 
    a 
    fair 
    maid 

    and 
    Nancy 
    was

      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.

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
