Willis Mayberry chords by 
Grandpa Jones 
N/A•
Key: G major•BPM: 92
Verse 1
G
In the beautiful hills,
C
G
in the midst of Rome county,
That's where I have lived for
A
D
many long years,
G
That's where my heart has
C
G
tended most ever,
C
That's where the first step
G
D
G
of misfortune I made,
C
G
C
For nearly five years I courted
G
and married
C
G
Amanda Gilbraith was
A
D
then called my wife
G
Her three brothers stabbed me
C
G
for some unknown reason
C
G
Just three months later,
D
G
I'd taken Tom's life
C
G
For thirty -five years,
C
G
this whole world I rambled
C
G
I traveled all England,
A
D
to France and to Spain
G
And I thought of my home,
C
G
way back in Rome County
C
G
And I boarded a steamer
D
and I came back again
G
C
G
I was captured and tried
C
G
in the village of Old Kingston
Not a man in the county
A
D
would speak one fine word
G
When the jury came in
C
G
with a verdict next morning
C
G
My lifetime in prison
D
G
was the word that I heard
C
G
When the train left the shed,
C
was about el even -thirty
G
The chains they rattled,
A
D
an d the handcuffs were tight
G
When young Diddy Gleeson
C
G
Takin' hold of the throttle
C
G
Oh, hundred and thirty
D
G
was soon out of sight
C
G
Men went to the mine
C
G
In the fields of Big Brushy
A
Some went to that grave, I'm sorry to say
D
G
But I'm going to the pen
C
Station there in Old Nashville
G
C
G
Just to labor and worry
D
G
C
G
D
G
The rest of my day
C
G
In the scorching hot sun
C
G
On the foundry I'm toilin'
Yes, toilin' and worryin'
A
D
My life all the way
G
They'll measure my grave
C
G
on the bank of old Tumala
C
G
Just as soon as I've finished
D
G
the rest of my days
C
G
See, Pollard was great,
C
G
but Bora was better
A
That's good and that's better all over,
D
you see
G
Boys, when you write home
C
G
from the prison in Nashville
C
G
Place a verse of this song
D
in your letter for me
G
C
G
No matter what happens
C
G
to me in Rome County
A
No matter how long my sentence may be
D
G
I love my old home,
C
G
way back in Rose County,
C
G
D
G
for it's a way up in the East Tennessee.

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
