  • Intro 1
    Well, 
    it 
    was 
    all 

    That 
    could 
    do 
    to 
    keep 
    from 
    crying' 

    Some
    times 
    it 
    seemed 
    so 
    useless 

    to 
    remain 

    But 
    you 
    don't 
    have 
    to 
    call 
    me 
    darlin', 
    darlin' 

    You 
    never 
    even 
    called 
    me 
    by 
    my 
    name 

    Verse 1
    You 
    don't 
    have 
    to 
    call 
    me 

    Waylon 
    Jennings 

    And 
    you 
    don't 
    have 
    to 
    call 
    me 

    Charlie 
    Pride 

    And 
    you 
    don't 
    have 
    to 
    call 
    me 

    Merle 
    Haggard 
    any
    more 

    Even 
    though 
    you're 
    on 
    my 
    fighting' 
    side 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    I'll 
    hang 
    around 
    as 
    long 
    as 
    you 
    will 
    let 
    me 

    And 
    nev
    er 
    mind
    ed 

    standing' 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    But 
    you 
    don't 
    have 
    to 
    call 
    me 
    darlin', 
    darlin' 

    You 
    never 
    even 
    called 
    me 
    by 
    my 
    name 

    Verse 2
    Well, 
    I've 
    heard 
    my 
    name 

    few 
    times 
    in 
    your 
    phone 
    book 

    (hello, 
    hello) 

    And 
    I've 
    seen 
    it 
    on 
    signs 

    where 
    I've 
    played 

    But 
    the 
    only 
    time 
    know 

    I'll 
    hear 
    "David 
    Allan 
    Coe" 

    Is 
    when 
    Jesus 
    has 
    his 
    final 
    judgment 
    day 

    Chorus 2
    So 
    I'll 
    hang 
    around 
    as 
    long 
    as 
    you 
    will 
    let 
    me 

    And 
    nev
    er 
    mind
    ed 

    standing' 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    But 
    you 
    don't 
    have 
    to 
    call 
    me 
    darlin', 
    darlin' 

    You 
    never 
    even 
    called 
    me 
    by 
    my 
    name 

    Bridge 1
    Well, a friend of mine 

    named 
    Steve 
    Goodman 
    wrote 
    that 
    song 

    And 
    he 
    told 
    me 

    it 
    was 
    the 
    perfect 
    country 
    western 
    song 

    wrote 
    him 
    back 
    letter 
    and 
    told 
    him 

    it 
    was 
    not 
    the 
    perfect 
    country 
    western 
    song 

    Because 
    he 
    hadn't 
    said 
    any
    thing 
    at 
    all 

    about 
    mama, 
    or 
    trains, 

    or 
    trucks, 
    or 
    prison, 
    or 
    getting' 
    drunk 

    Well, 
    he 
    sat 
    down 

    and 
    wrote 
    another 
    verse 
    to 
    the 
    song 

    and 
    he 
    sent 
    it 
    to 
    me 

    And 
    after 
    reading 
    it 

    realized 
    that 
    my 
    friend 
    had 
    written 

    the 
    perfect 
    country 
    western 
    song 

    And 
    felt 
    obliged 
    to 
    include 
    it 
    on 
    this 
    album 

    The 
    last 
    verse 
    goes 
    like 
    this 
    here 

    Verse 3
    Well, 
    was 
    drunk 
    the 
    day 

    my 
    mom 
    got 
    out 
    of 
    prison 

    And 
    went 
    to 
    pick 
    her 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    But 
    be
    fore 
    could 
    get 
    to 
    the 
    station 

    in 
    my 
    pickup 
    truck 

    She 
    got 
    run 
    over 
    by 
    damned 
    old 
    train 

    Chorus 3
    And 
    I'll 
    hang 
    around 
    as 
    long 
    as 
    you 
    will 
    let 
    me 

    And 
    nev
    er 
    mind
    ed 

    standing' 
    in 
    the 
    rain, 
    no 

    But 
    you 
    don't 
    have 
    to 
    call 
    me 
    darlin', 
    darlin' 

    You 
    never 
    even 
    called 
    me 

    Well, 
    wonder 
    why 
    you 
    don't 
    call 
    me 

    Why 
    don't 
    you 
    ever 
    call 
    me 

    by 
    my 
    name 
    (ooh)

      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

      Tuliketsune

      "

      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 a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      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.
