    D

    We'd sit out on the front porch in the

    evenin' when the sun went down

    Willie would play and the kids would sing
    D

    and everybody would mess around

    And Daddy bring on his guitar,
    G
    D

    we'd play all through the night
    G

    And every now and then ol' Wil
    Bb

    lie would grin and say
    C

    G

    'Hey you play alright' (and that

    Verse 4
    D

    I remember the best times of all

    when Saturday came around
    G

    We'd always stop by

    Willie's house and say
    D

    'Do y'all need anything

    from town?'

    He'd say 'No, but why don't cha all
    G
    D

    stop on your way back through

    G

    The cotton was high and the corn was
    D

    growin' fine (yes it was)

    C

    and another time
    D
    Verse 6


    The years rolled past our land,

    and took back what they'd given
    G
    D

    We all knew we'd have to move
    A
    D

    if we were gonna make a livin'
    G

    So we all moved on and went
    D

    about our separate ways
    Bb

    But that was another place

    The cotton was high and the corn was growin'

    fine (the cotton was growin' fine)

    • 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.
