Verse 1
I've 
been 
here 
longer 
and 
I'm 
stronger 

and 
I've 
seen 
as 
much 
as 
any 
man 

Now 
many's 
crossed 
me 
but none 
have 
bossed 

me 
and 
I 
don't 
believe 
they 
ever 
can 

Verse 2

Hello 
son 
I see 
you're 
wearin' 
a gun 
and you 

say 
you're on 
your way 
into 
town 

You say 
your 
Ma 
told 
you not 

to 
but 
you feel 
you 
got 
to 

Get 
that 
man 
that gunned 

your 
daddy 
down 

From 
the sheriff's 
office 
to 
the 
gallows 
boy 

that's a mighty 
mighty 
short 
walk 

So why 
you 
worry 
your horse 
son 
let you 
and I 

take 
it easy 
and 
have 
a little 
talk 

Cause 
I've 
been 
here 
longer... 

Interlude 1


Verse 3
Well 
I can 
see 
that 
you're angry 
and I guess 

you've got 
plenty 
right 
to 
be 

But the 
law 
can handle 
your daddy's 
killer 

much 
better 
than 
you or 
me 

And remember 
your 
promise 

you 
made 
your mother

That 
you never 
would 
fought 
on 
a gun 

So 
go 
on 
home to 
her boy 
cause 
she 
needs 
you 

she 
wouldn't stand 
to 
lose 
her only 
son 

Well 
I see 
you 
thought it 
over 
and I'm 
glad 

to see 
you 
going 
home boy 

And you 
wanna know 
what they 
call 
me 

Well 
I'm 
just the 
river 
they call 

me 
the Mississippi 

I've 
been 
here 
longer...

    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

    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.
