    • Verse 1
    I was 
    born 
    in the 
    bush 

    near 
    old 
    Alice Springs 

    As 
    far 
    as 
    you can get 
    from 
    the sea 

    My 
    mother 
    was 
    a fighter, 
    my 
    daddy 
    was 
    too 

    He 
    never 
    knew 
    a 
    bastard 
    like 
    me 

    Verse 2
    My 
    brothers 
    and 
    sisters 

    scattered 
    like 
    the wind 

    From the 
    desert 
    and 

    the hills 
    to the 
    sea 

    Much 
    too 
    young, 

    many 
    died 
    but I 
    have 
    survived 

    So 
    luck
    y 
    a bastard 
    like 
    me 

    Verse 3
    Oo
    h, 
    so 
    lucky 
    a 
    bastard 
    like 
    me 

    I 
    have 
    survived 
    a hell 
    of 
    a ride 

    Nobody 
    knows 
    a 
    bastard 
    like 
    me 


    Verse 4
    Call 
    me 
    a stray, 
    a dog 
    every 
    day 

    Call 
    me 
    a mon
    grel 
    half-breed 

    And 
    And 
    mongrels 
    are strong, 

    so 
    if 
    you take 
    me 
    on 

    Watch 
    out 
    for 
    a bastard 
    like 
    me 

    Verse 5
    Ooh, 
    you 
    better 
    watch 
    out 

    for 
    a bastard 
    like 
    me 

    I 
    fought 
    all 
    the way, 
    I 
    fight 
    every 
    day 

    You 
    can
    't stop 
    a bastard 
    like

    my 
    kicks 

    I 
    am 
    a man 
    of 
    degrees, 

    I 
    wear 
    the scars, 
    I 
    earned 
    them so 
    hard 

    Every 
    day 
    in the 
    lucky

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      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.
