    Verse 1
    I 
    bought 
    a 
    house 

    at 
    the 
    mouth 
    of 
    the 
    holler 

    A 
    ring 
    at 
    the 
    pawn 
    shop 

    and 
    a 
    crib 
    for 
    the 
    kid 

    I 
    heard 
    some 
    word, 

    there 
    was 
    work 
    up 
    in 
    Hindman 

    I'm 
    going 
    tomorrow 

    and 
    hope 
    that 
    there 
    is 

    Verse 2
    My 
    sweat 
    and 
    my 
    wages 

    they 
    don't 
    seem 
    to 
    weight 
    out 

    I'm 
    gettin' 
    more 
    aches 

    than 
    I'm 
    gainin' 
    in 
    gold 

    Whoever 
    said 
    you 
    could 
    raise 
    you 
    a 
    family 

    Just 
    workin' 
    your 
    ass 
    off 

    knee 
    deep 
    in 
    coal? 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Well, 
    the 
    sign 
    at 
    the 
    church 
    says 

    "I'll 
    reap 
    what 
    I'm 
    sowin'" 

    But 
    I 
    ain't 
    lost 
    sleep, 

    it'll 
    come 
    in 
    due 
    time 

    And 
    if 
    the 
    Lord 
    wants 
    to 
    take 
    me, 

    I'm 
    here 
    for 
    the 
    taking 

    'Cause 
    Hell's 
    probably 
    better 

    than 
    tryin' 
    to 
    get 
    by 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 4
    You 
    can 
    see 
    me 
    on 
    the 
    front 
    page 

    It'll 
    be 
    out 
    tomorrow 

    A 
    boy 
    in 
    his 
    20s, 

    shot 
    down 
    in 
    his 
    prime 

    For 
    trying 
    to 
    hold 
    up 
    the 
    Texaco 
    station 

    They'll 
    say 
    I 
    was 
    desperate 

    They're 
    probably 
    right

      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.
