    Well, 
    your 
    railroad 
    gate 

    You 
    know 
    I 
    just 
    can't 
    jump 
    it 

    Sometimes 
    it 
    get
    s so 
    hard, 
    you 
    see 

    I'm 
    just 
    sit
    ting 
    here 
    beating 

    on 
    my 
    trum
    pet 

    With 
    all 
    these 
    promises 
    you 
    left 
    for 
    me 

    But 
    where 
    are 
    you 
    to
    night, 

    sweet 
    Mar
    ie? 

    Verse 2

    Well, 
    I 
    waited 
    for you 

    when 
    I 
    was 
    half 
    sick 

    Yes, 
    I 
    waited 
    for 
    you 

    when 
    you 
    hated 
    me 

    Well, 
    I 
    waited 
    for 
    you 
    inside 
    of 

    the frozen 
    traffic 

    When 
    you 
    knew 
    I 
    had 
    some 

    other 
    place 
    to 
    be 

    Now, 
    where 
    are 
    you 
    tonight, 

    sweet 
    Marie? 

    Verse 3

    Well, 
    anybody 
    can 
    be 
    just 
    like 
    me, 

    obviously 

    But 
    then, 
    now 
    again, 

    not too 
    many 
    can 
    be 
    like 
    you, 
    fortunately 

    Verse 4

    Well, 
    six 
    white 
    horses 
    that 

    you 
    did 
    prom
    ise 

    Were 
    fin'lly 
    delivered 
    down 

    to 
    the 
    penitentiary 

    But 
    to 
    live 
    outside 
    the 
    law, 

    you 
    must 
    be 
    hon
    est 

    I know 
    you 
    always 
    say 
    that 
    you 
    agree 

    Alright 
    so 
    where 
    are 
    you 
    to
    night, 

    sweet 
    Marie? 

    Verse 5
    Well, 
    I 
    don't 
    know 
    how 
    it 
    happened, 

    but 
    the 

    Riverboat captain, 
    he 
    knows 
    my 
    fate 

    But 
    ev'rybody 
    else, 
    even 
    yourself 

    They're 
    just 
    gonna 
    have 
    to 
    wait 

    Verse 6

    Well, 
    I got 
    the 
    fever 
    down 
    in 
    my 
    pockets 

    The 
    Per
    sian 
    drunkard, 
    he 
    follows 
    me 

    Yes, 
    I 
    can 
    take 
    him 
    to 
    your 
    house 
    but 

    I can
    't unlock 
    it 

    You see, 
    you 
    forgot 
    to 

    leave 
    me 
    with 
    the 
    key 

    Oh, 
    where 
    are 
    you 
    to
    night, 
    sweet 
    Mar
    ie?

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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.
