    • Verse 1
    There's a tall 
    thin 
    man 
    standing 

    in 
    the 
    shad
    ows 

    When 
    he 
    calls 
    your 
    name, 

    his 
    voice 
    is 
    strong 
    and 
    clear 

    It's 
    a 
    dark 
    and smoky 
    place, 

    so 
    you 
    can't 
    quite 
    see 
    his 
    face 

    He 
    pulls 
    you close 
    and 

    whispers 
    in 
    your ear 

    Verse 2
    And 
    he 
    tells 
    you 
    he was 

    born 
    into 
    some 
    money 

    But 
    it 
    didn't 
    mean 
    he 
    had 
    to 
    sit 
    around 

    And he 
    knows 
    a thing 
    or 
    two 
    about 

    the 
    things 
    that you 
    should 
    do 

    If you 
    don't 
    want 
    to take 
    life 
    lying 
    down 

    Verse 3
    First 
    of 
    all, 
    hang 
    out 
    a lot 
    with 
    Hemingway 

    Spend 
    some 
    time 
    fighting 

    bulls 
    in 
    Spain 

    You should 
    go 
    three 
    rounds 

    with Archie 
    Moore 
    and 
    Sugar 
    Ray 

    It's 
    so damned 
    scary 

    you won't 
    mind 
    the 
    pain 

    Verse 4
    Be 
    ringside 
    at the 
    rumble 
    in 
    the jungle 

    Make 
    friends 
    with Hunter 
    S. 

    and Jackie 
    O. 

    And when they 
    shoot 
    poor 
    Bobby 
    down, 

    you 
    wrestle 
    Sirhan 
    to 
    the 
    ground 

    Love 
    your friends 
    and miss 
    them 

    when 
    they 
    go 

    Verse 5
    You should 
    write 
    a book 
    or 

    two 
    and 
    start 
    a 
    magazine 

    Even 
    if 
    it 
    never 
    makes 
    a 
    dime 

    You should 
    swing 
    out 
    by 
    your 
    feet 

    above 
    the 
    cir
    cus 
    ring 

    At the 
    very 
    least 
    throw 
    parties 

    all 
    the time 

    Verse 6

    Time 
    and 
    tide 
    will 
    never 

    care (never care) 

    Not 
    so 
    far 
    from 
    here 
    to 
    there 

    (here to there) 

    We just 
    go 
    (we just go, 

    we just 
    go) 

    Verse 7
    So, 
    en
    joy 
    yourself, 

    do 
    the things 
    that 
    matter

    'Cause there 
    isn't 
    time 

    and space 
    to 
    do 
    it all 

    Love 
    the things 
    you 
    try, 

    drink 
    a 
    cocktail 
    wear 
    a tie 

    Show 
    a little 
    grace 
    if 
    you 
    should 
    fall 

    Verse 8
    Don't 
    live 
    another 
    day 
    unless 

    you 
    make 
    it 
    coun
    t 

    There's 
    someone 
    else 
    that 

    you're 
    supposed 
    to 
    be 

    'Cause 
    something 
    deep 
    in
    side 

    of you 
    that 
    still 
    wants 
    out 

    And 
    shame 
    on 
    you 
    if 
    you 
    don't set

      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

      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 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.
