    • Verse 1
    My 
    name 
    I 
    don't 
    remem
    ber, 

    though, 
    I 
    hail 
    from 
    Ohio 

    I 
    had 
    a 
    wife 
    and 
    chil
    dren, 

    good 
    tires 
    on 
    my 
    car 

    What 
    took 
    me 
    from 
    my 
    home 
    and 

    put 
    me 
    in 
    the 
    earth 

    Was 
    the mouth 
    of 
    a deep, 

    dark 
    hole 
    I 
    found 
    behind 
    my 
    barn 

    Verse 2

    We'd 
    been 
    filling 
    it 
    with 
    garbage 

    as 
    long 
    as 
    you 
    could 
    coun
    t 

    Kitchen 
    scraps 
    an
    d 
    dead 
    cows, 

    tractors 
    broken 
    down 

    But 
    never 
    did 
    I 
    hear 
    one 
    thing 
    hit 

    the ground 

    And 
    slowly 
    I came 
    to 
    fear 
    that 
    this 

    was 
    a 
    bottomless 
    hole 

    Verse 3

    I 
    went 
    out 
    behind 
    the barn 
    and 

    stared 
    down 
    in 
    that 
    hole 

    Late 
    into 
    the evening 
    my 

    mind 
    would 
    not 
    let 
    go 

    So 
    I 
    got 
    out 
    my 
    ropes 
    and 
    a 
    rusty 

    claw- 
    foot 
    tub 

    And 
    I 
    rigged 
    myself 
    a chariot 
    to 
    ride 

    down 
    in 
    that 
    hole 

    Verse 4

    My 
    wife, 
    she 
    did 
    help 
    me, 

    she 
    fed 
    me 
    down 
    the 
    ropes 

    And 
    then 
    I 
    sank 
    away 
    from 

    the surface 
    of 
    this 
    world 

    With 
    the last 
    rope 
    pulled 
    tight, 

    I 
    had 
    not 
    reached 
    the 
    end 

    And 
    in 
    anger 
    I 
    swung 
    there, 

    down 
    in 
    that 
    dark 
    abyss 

    Verse 5

    So 
    I 
    got 
    out 
    my 
    knife, 

    I 
    told 
    my 
    wife 
    good
    bye 

    I 
    cut 
    loose 
    from 
    the 
    ropes 
    and 

    fell 
    on 
    down 
    that 
    hole 

    And 
    still 
    I 
    am 
    there 
    falling 

    down 
    in 
    this 
    evil 
    pit 

    But 
    un
    til 
    I 
    hit 
    the 
    bottom, 

    I 
    won't 
    be
    lieve 
    it's 
    bottom
    less

      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.
