  • Verse 1
    When I 
    first 
    came 
    to 
    town 

    All 
    the people 
    gathered 
    round 

    They 
    bought 
    me 
    drinks 

    Oh 
    Lord, 
    how 
    they 
    quickly 

    changed 
    their 
    tune 

    Verse 2

    When 
    first 
    came 
    to 
    town 

    People 
    took 
    me 
    round 
    from 
    end 
    to 
    end 

    Like 
    someone 
    may 
    take 

    around 
    friend 

    Oh how 
    quickly 
    they 
    changed 

    their 
    tun

    Verse 3

    Suspicion 
    and 
    dark 
    murmurs 

    surround 
    me 

    Everywhere 
    go 
    they 
    confound 
    me 

    As 
    though 
    the 
    blood 
    on 
    my hands 

    Is 
    there 
    for 
    every 
    citizen 
    to 
    see 

    Verse 4

    Oh 
    sweet 
    Jesus 

    There 
    is 
    no 
    turning 
    back 

    There 
    is 
    al
    ways 
    one 
    more 
    town 

    little 
    fur
    ther 
    down 
    the 
    track 

    Verse 5

    And 
    from 
    my 
    window, 
    across 
    the tracks 

    watch 
    the 
    juicers burn 
    their 
    fires 

    And 
    in 
    that 
    light 

    Their 
    faces 
    leer 
    at 
    me 

    How 
    wish 
    they'd 
    just 
    let 
    me 
    be 

    Verse 6

    When 
    I first 
    came 
    to town 

    Their 
    favors 
    were 
    for 
    free 

    Now 
    even 
    the doors 
    of the 

    whores 
    of 
    this 
    town 

    Are 
    closed 
    to 
    me 

    Verse 7

    I search 
    the mirror 

    And 
    try 
    to see 

    search 
    the 
    mirror 

    And 
    I try 
    to 
    see 

    Why 
    the 
    people 
    of 
    this 
    town 

    Have 
    washed 
    their 
    hands 
    of 
    me 

    Verse 8
    Oh 
    sweet 
    Jesus 

    There 
    is 
    no 
    turning 
    back 

    There 
    is 
    al
    ways 
    one 
    more 
    town 

    little 
    fur
    ther 
    down 
    the track 

    Verse 9

    Oh 
    lord, 
    every 
    goddamn 
    turn 
    take 

    fear 
    the noose, 
    and 
    fear 
    the stake 

    For 
    there 
    ain't 
    bone 

    They did 
    not 
    break 

    In 
    all 
    the 
    towns 
    I've 
    been 
    before 

    Verse 10
    Well 
    those 
    that 
    sin 
    against 

    me 
    are 
    snuffed 
    out 

    I know 
    that 
    from 
    every 
    day 
    that 
    live 

    Goddamn 
    the 
    day 
    that 
    was 
    born 

    The night 
    that 
    forced 
    me 
    from 
    the womb 

    And 
    goddamn 
    this 
    town 

    For 
    am 
    leaving 
    now 

    But 
    one 
    day 
    I will 
    return 

    And 
    the 
    people 
    of 
    this 
    town 
    will 
    surely 
    see 

    Just 
    how 
    quickly 
    the 
    tables 
    turn 

    Verse 11
    Oh 
    sweet 
    Jesus 

    This 
    really 
    is 
    the 
    end 

    There 
    is 
    always 
    one 
    more 
    town 

    little 
    further 
    round 
    the 
    bend

    • 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.
