Born
Verse 1

and raised on country ways

And nursed by the verse of a good book

I grew up on the outskirts of Louisiana

In a place called Willoughby Brook

Sisters and brothers, uncles and cousins

We all lived in the same town

We wore old clothes

that the neighbors gave us

Second -hand shoes and

hand -me -downs

But I wish I had to go back home

And take a second look at

Willoughby Brook

Lord, I wish I had to turn the page
F#
Em

To my days at Willoughby Brook
F#
Em
D
G
Em

I still laugh about the day

my brother got caught trying to

play no different school

And mama made a switch

from an old willow tree

and whip him like he stole a government mule

I can still see papa playing

checkers and dominoes
Bm
Em

and mama wore a head rag in the kitchen

And grandma was down at

the churchyard singing,

give me that old time revision

But I wish I could go back home

and take a second look at will I be broken

Lord, I wish I could turn the place
D
Em

to my days that will be good

Buttermilk and cornbread

Tater pies, papa's homemade wine

Kick the can and hide and seek
C
Em

Let me see yours,

I'll let you see mine

Now I look around at the city I live in

With its ghettos and its crowded
A

neighborhoods
Em

Friendship and brotherhood's
A

a thing of the past
G

And understanding is so
Em

misunderstood
D
Em

They're raising up the prices,

the world's in a crisis
D
Em

You can't buy the food you need

You can't trust politics

Ashamed of the government

And choking on the air you breathe
Bm
Em

Lord, I wish I could go back home

And take a second look at

Willoughby Brook

Lord, I wish I could turn the page

To my days at Willoughby Brook
Bm
Em

Lord, I wanna go back home

And take a second look at

Willoughby Brook

Lord, I wish I could turn the page

to my days at Willoughby Brook
Gm
Em

Lord, I want to go back home

where the air is clean
D
Em

Lord, and the grass is green

Down at Willoughby Brook

Down at Willoughby Brook

Down at Willoughby Brook

When I hear Reverend Peterson

preaching every Sunday morning

Oh, I'm down at Willoughby River

I wanna go see my sister

I wanna go see my brother

I wanna sit on the bench

Maybe do a little fishing, y 'all

Yeah, down at Willoughby River

I'm coming back to the place

like the day at Willoughby River

I wanna go see my mama
Em
Em

I'm gon na see my mama,
Em

Em
Em


I'm gonna sit on the steps. you

  • 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.
