    Verse 1
    She 
    was 
    born 
    in 

    a place 
    called 
    Blue 
    Valley 

    At 
    the foot 
    of 
    the 
    Tennessee 
    hills 

    With 
    the 
    blue 
    birds 
    and 
    blue 
    bells 

    And 
    blue 
    mountain 
    water 

    And 
    the sound 
    of 
    the 
    Blue 
    Whippoor
    will 

    But 
    there 
    was 
    no 
    peace 
    in 
    the 
    val
    ley 

    Her 
    daddy, 
    a 
    cruel, 
    ruth
    less 
    man 

    Used 
    and 
    abused 
    her 
    mind 
    and 
    her 
    body 

    So 
    her 
    mama 
    said 
    run 
    while 
    you 
    can 

    So 
    at 
    fifteen 
    she 
    took 
    to 
    the 
    highway 

    Be
    longings 
    and 
    guitar 
    in 
    hand 

    And 
    she 
    buried 
    herself 
    in 
    her 
    music 

    The 
    one 
    thing 
    she 
    did 
    under
    stand 

    Verse 2

    And 
    she 
    sings 
    like 
    a 
    bird 
    and 

    She 
    writes 
    like 
    a po
    et 

    Her 
    voice 
    has 
    that 
    high, 
    lone
    some 
    sound 

    She 
    hurts 

    And 
    her songs 
    are 
    the be
    st 
    way 
    to show 
    it 

    So 
    the 
    Blue 
    Valley 
    songbird 

    Keep
    s 
    traveling 
    around 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    She 
    hopes 
    someday 
    she 
    will 
    make 
    it 

    An
    d everyone 
    says 
    that 
    she 
    will 

    When 
    she 
    comes 
    to town, 

    crowds 
    flock 
    around 

    To see 
    the 
    girl 
    from 
    the 
    Tennessee 
    hills 

    She 
    writes 
    her 
    letter 
    back 
    home 
    to 
    her 
    mama 

    In 
    care 
    of 
    the 
    preacher 
    in 
    town 

    They're 
    sacred 
    to 
    her 
    so 
    she 

    Reads 
    them 
    at 
    church 

    And 
    so 
    her 
    daddy 
    can
    not 
    track 
    her 
    down 

    Verse 4
    And 
    she 
    sings 
    like 
    a 
    bird 
    and 

    She 
    cries 
    like 
    a 
    baby 

    Whenever 
    she 
    turns 
    off 
    the 
    lights 

    She's 
    a 
    whole 
    lot 
    lonesome 
    and 

    A 
    little 
    bit 
    crazy 

    From 
    memories 
    and miseries 
    and 

    Dreams 
    gone 
    awry 


    Verse 5
    Blue 
    dress, 
    blue 
    shoes, 
    a 
    blue 
    Cadillac 

    A 
    band 
    dressed 
    in 
    blue 

    by 
    her 
    side 

    Instruments 
    tied 
    to 
    the 
    top 

    and 
    the back

    Because 
    the 
    Blue 
    Valley 
    songbird 

    Is 
    singing 
    to
    night 

    Verse 6
    One 
    nighter's, honky 

    tonk's, years 
    flying 
    by 

    She 
    never 
    made 
    it, 

    but 
    Lord 
    knows 
    she 
    tries 

    Expressing 
    the 
    feelings 
    she 
    holds 
    in
    side 

    And 
    the 
    Blue 
    Valley 
    songbird 

    Is singing 
    to
    night 

    Oh 
    the 
    Blue 
    Valley 
    songbird 

    Is singing 
    to
    night 

    Verse 7
    And 
    she 
    sings 
    like 
    a 
    bird 
    and 

    She 
    writes 
    like 
    a poet

      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.

      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.
