    Verse 1
    Well 
    it's 
    raining, 
    it's 
    pouring 

    You 
    didn't 
    bring 
    sweater 


    Nebraska'll never 
    let 
    you 
    come 

    back 
    home 

    Verse 2

    Now 
    on 
    Hollywood 
    and 
    Vine 

    By 
    the Thrifty 
    Mart 
    sign 

    Any 
    night 
    I'll 
    be 
    willin' 
    to 
    bet 

    Verse 3

    There's 
    young 
    girl 

    With 
    sweet 
    little 
    dreams 
    and 

    pretty 
    blue 
    wishes 

    Standin' 
    there 
    just 

    gettin' 
    all 
    wet 

    Verse 4

    Now 
    there's a 
    place 
    off 
    the 
    drag 

    Called 
    the 
    Gilbert 
    Hotel 

    And 
    there's 
    couple 
    letters 

    Burned 
    out 
    in the 
    sign 

    Verse 5

    And it's 
    better 
    than 
    bus 
    stop 

    They 
    do 
    good 
    business 

    every 
    time 
    it rains 

    For little 
    girls 
    with 
    nothing 
    in 
    their 
    jeans 

    But pretty 
    blue 
    wishes 

    and sweet 
    little 
    jeans 

    Verse 6
    And 
    it's 
    raining 
    it's 
    pouring 

    The 
    old 
    man 
    is 
    snoring 

    Now 
    I lay 
    me 
    down 
    to sleep 

    hear 
    the 
    sirens 
    in 
    the 
    street 

    All 
    my 
    dreams 
    are 
    made 
    of 
    chrome 

    I have 
    no 
    way 
    to 
    get 
    back 
    home 

    I'd 
    rather 
    die 
    be
    fore 
    wake 

    Like 
    Marilyn 
    Monroe 

    And 
    you 
    could 
    throw 

    my 
    dreams 
    out 
    in 
    the street 

    And 
    let the 
    rain 
    make 
    'em 
    grow

    Verse 7
    Now 
    the 
    night

    a club

    out 
    time 
    is 
    10 am 

    And 
    that's 
    just 
    what 
    it means 

    Go 
    on 
    up 
    the stairs 

    With 
    sweet 
    little 
    wishes 
    and 

    pretty 
    blue 
    dream

    Verse 9
    And 
    it's 
    raining 
    it's 
    pour
    ing 

    And 
    Hollywood's just 
    fine 

    Swindle 
    a little 
    girl

    trust 
    a scarecrow 

    wearin' 
    shades 
    after 
    dark 

    Be 
    careful 
    of 
    that 
    old 
    bow 
    tie 
    he 
    wears 

    It takes

    s in 
    your 
    hair

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      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.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
