    Verse 1
    I 
    remember 
    wearin' 

    straight 
    leg 
    Levis 
    Flannel 
    shirts 

    Even 
    when 
    they 
    weren't 
    in 
    style 


    I 
    remember 
    singin' 
    with 
    Roy 
    Rogers 

    at 
    the 
    movies 

    when 
    the 
    West 
    was 
    real
    ly 
    wild 


    I 
    was 
    listenin' 
    to 
    the 
    Opry 

    When 
    all 
    of 
    my 
    friends 

    were 
    diggin' 
    Rock 
    'n 
    Roll 
    and 
    Rhythm 
    & 
    Blues 


    I 
    was 
    Country, 

    when 
    Country 
    wasn't 
    cool 


    Verse 2
    I 
    remember 
    circlin' 
    the 
    drive-in, 

    pullin' 
    up 
    and 
    turnin' 
    down 

    George 
    Jones 

    I 
    remember 
    when 
    no 
    one 
    was 
    lookin' 

    I 
    was 
    puttin' 
    peanuts 
    in 
    my 
    Coke 


    I 
    took 
    a 
    lot 
    of 
    kiddin' 

    'Cause 
    I 
    never 
    did 
    fit 
    in 

    Now 
    look 
    at 
    every
    body 

    Tryin' 
    to 
    be 
    what 
    I 
    was 
    then 

    I 
    was 
    Country, 

    when 
    Country 
    wasn't 
    cool 

    Oooh 

    Chorus 1
    I 
    was 
    Country, 

    when 
    Country 
    wasn't 
    cool 


    I 
    was 
    Country, 

    from 
    my 
    hat 
    down 
    to 
    my 
    boots 

    I 
    still 
    act, 
    and 
    look 
    the 
    same 

    What 
    you 
    see 
    ain't 
    nothin' 
    new 


    I 
    was 
    Country, 

    when 
    Country 
    wasn't 
    cool 


    Interlude 1




    Bridge 1
    They 
    call 
    us 
    country 
    bumpkins 

    For 
    stickin' 
    to 
    our 
    roots 

    I'm 
    just 
    glad 
    we're 
    in 
    a 
    country 

    Where 
    we're 
    all 
    free 
    to 
    choose 

    I 
    was 
    Country, 

    when 
    Country 
    wasn't 
    cool 


    Chorus 2
    Hey 
    I 
    was 
    Country, 

    when 
    Country 
    wasn't 
    cool 

    Yeah 
    I 
    was 
    country, 

    from 
    my 
    hat 
    down 
    to, 

    woah 
    my 
    boots 

    I 
    still 
    act, 
    and 
    look 
    the 
    same 

    What 
    you 
    see 
    ain't 
    nothin' 
    new 


    'Cause 
    I 
    was 
    Country 

    when 
    Country 
    wasn't 
    cool 


    Yeah, 
    I 
    was 
    Country 

    when 
    Country 
    wasn't 
    cool

      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.
