    Verse 1
    Couple 
    in 
    the 
    next 
    room 

    Bound 
    to 
    win 
    a 
    prize 

    They've 
    been 
    going 
    at 
    it 
    all 
    night 
    long 

    Well, 
    I'm 
    tryin' 
    to 
    get 
    some 
    sleep 

    But 
    these 
    motel 
    walls 
    are 
    cheap 

    Lincoln 
    Duncan 
    is 
    my 
    name 

    And 
    here's 
    my 
    song, 
    here's 
    my 
    song 


    Verse 2
    My 
    father 
    was 
    a 
    fisherman 

    My 
    mama 
    was 
    a 
    fisherman's 
    friend 

    And 
    I 
    was 
    born 
    in 
    the 
    boredom 

    and 
    the 
    chowder 

    So 
    when 
    I 
    reached 
    my 
    prime 

    I 
    left 
    my 
    home 
    in 
    the 
    Maritimes 

    Headed 
    down 
    the 
    turnpike 
    for 
    New 
    England 

    Sweet 
    New 
    England 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    Holes 
    in 
    my 
    confidence 

    Holes 
    in 
    the 
    knees 
    of 
    my 
    jeans 

    I 
    was 
    left 
    without 
    a 
    penny 
    in 
    my 
    pocket 

    Ooh- 
    wee 

    I 
    was 
    about 
    as 
    destituted 
    as 
    a 
    kid 
    could 
    be 

    And 
    I 
    wished 
    I 
    wore 
    a 
    ring 
    so 
    I 
    could 
    hock 
    it 

    I'd 
    like 
    to 
    hock 
    it 


    Verse 4
    A 
    young 
    girl 
    in 
    a 
    parkin' 
    lot 

    Was 
    preaching 
    to 
    a 
    crowd 

    Singing 
    sacred 
    songs 
    and 

    Reading 
    from 
    the 
    Bible 

    Well, 
    I 
    told 
    her 
    I 
    was 
    lost 

    And 
    she 
    told 
    me 
    all 
    about 
    the 
    Pentecost 

    And 
    I 
    seen 
    that 
    girl 

    as 
    the 
    road 
    to 
    my 
    sur
    vival 

    Interlude 2

    I 
    know, 
    I 
    know, 
    I 
    know, 
    I 
    know, 

    I 
    know, 
    I 
    know 



    Verse 5
    Just 
    later 
    on 
    the 
    very 
    same 
    night 

    When 
    I 
    crept 
    to 
    her 
    tent 
    with 
    a 
    flashlight 

    And 
    my 
    long 
    years 
    of 
    innocence 
    ended 

    Well, 
    she 
    took 
    me 
    to 
    the 
    woods 

    Sayin' 
    "Here 
    comes 
    something, 

    and 
    it 
    feels 
    so 
    good!" 

    And 
    just 
    like 
    a 
    dog 
    I 
    was 
    be
    friended 

    I 
    was 
    be
    friended 


    Verse 6
    Oh, 
    oh, 
    what 
    a 
    night 

    Oh, 
    what 
    a 
    garden 
    of 
    delight 

    Even 
    now 
    that 
    sweet 
    memory 
    lingers 

    I 
    was 
    playing 
    my 
    gui
    tar 

    Lyin' 
    underneath 
    the 
    stars 

    Just 
    thankin' 
    the 
    Lord 

    For 
    my 
    fingers 

    For 
    my 
    fingers 

    Outro 1

    know, 
    I

      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.
