    Verse 1
    Well, 
    I 
    quit 
    my 
    job 
    down 
    at 
    the 
    car 
    wash 

    Left 
    my 
    mama 
    a 
    goodbye 
    note 

    By 
    sundown 
    I'd 
    left 
    Kingston 

    With 
    my 
    guitar 
    under 
    my 
    coat 

    I 
    hitchhiked 
    all 
    the 
    way 
    down 
    to 
    Memphis 

    Got 
    a 
    room 
    at 
    the 
    YMCA 

    For 
    the 
    next 
    three 
    weeks, 

    I 
    went 
    huntin' 
    them 
    nights 

    Just 
    lookin' 
    for 
    a 
    place 
    to 
    play 

    Well, 
    I 
    thought 
    my 
    pickin' 

    would 
    set 
    'em 
    on 
    fire 

    But 
    nobody 
    wanted 

    to 
    hire 
    a 
    guitar 
    man 

    Verse 2
    Well, 
    I 
    nearly 
    'bout 
    starved 

    to 
    death 
    down 
    in 
    Memphis 

    I 
    run 
    outta 
    money 
    and 
    luck 

    So 
    I 
    bought 
    me 
    a 
    ride 
    down 
    to 
    Macon, 

    Georgia 
    on 
    a 
    overloaded 
    poultry 
    truck 

    I 
    thumbed 
    on 
    down 
    to 
    Panama 
    City 

    Started 
    pickin' 
    out 
    some 
    o' 
    them 
    all 
    night 
    bars 

    Hopin' 
    I 
    could 
    make 
    myself 
    a 
    dollar 

    Makin' 
    music 
    on 
    my 
    guitar 

    I 
    got 
    the 
    same 
    old 
    story 
    at 
    them 
    all 
    night 
    piers 

    There 
    ain't 
    no 
    room 
    around 
    here 

    for 
    a 
    guitar 
    man 

    We 
    don't 
    need 
    a 
    guitar 
    man, 
    son 

    Chorus 1
    So 
    I 
    slept 
    in 
    the 
    hobo 
    jungles 

    Roamed 
    a 
    thousand 
    miles 
    of 
    track 

    Till 
    I 
    found 
    myself 
    in 
    Mobile 
    Alabama 

    At 
    a 
    club 
    they 
    call 
    Big 
    Jack's 

    A 
    little 
    four-piece 
    band 
    was 
    jammin' 

    So 
    I 
    took 
    my 
    guitar 
    and 
    I 
    sat 
    in 

    I 
    showed 
    'em 
    what 
    a 
    band 
    would 
    sound 
    like 

    With 
    a 
    swingin' 
    little 
    guitar 
    man 

    Interlude 1

    'em, 
    son

    Verse 3
    So 
    if 
    you 
    ever 
    take 
    a 
    trip 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    ocean 

    Find 
    yourself 
    down 
    around 
    Mobile 

    Oh, 
    make 
    it 
    on 
    out 
    to 
    a 
    club 
    called 
    Jack's 

    If 
    you 
    got 
    a 
    little 
    time 
    to 
    kill 

    Just 
    follow 
    that 
    crowd 
    of 
    people 

    You'll 
    wind 
    up 
    out 
    on 
    his 
    dance 
    floor 

    Diggin' 
    the 
    finest 
    little 
    five 
    piece 
    group 

    Up 
    and 
    down 
    the 
    Gulf 
    of 
    Mexico 

    Guess 
    who's 
    leadin' 
    that 
    five-piece 
    band 

    Well, 
    wouldn't 
    ya 
    know, 

    Interlude 2
    it's 
    that 
    swingin' 
    little 
    guitar 

    (man)

      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.
