    Verse 1
    For 
    years 
    I've 
    been 
    busting 

    my 
    rear 
    to 
    make 
    living 

    But it ain't 
    made 

    For 
    years 
    I've 
    been 
    trying 

    to 
    pay 
    off 
    my 
    bills 

    But 
    they 
    ain't 
    paid 

    Oh 
    every 
    dime 
    I make, 
    every 
    soul 
    I know 

    Hire 
    by 
    reach, 
    the farther 
    down 
    go 

    This 
    old 
    broken 
    back 
    of 
    mine 

    is 
    all 
    I've 
    got 
    to show 

    And 
    any
    way 

    Verse 2
    A working 
    man 
    can't 
    get 
    nowhere 
    today 

    Lord, 
    a working 
    man 
    get 

    nowhere 
    today 

    A working 
    man 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    time 
    to 
    play 

    Today 
    work 
    my 
    fanny 
    off 
    and 
    leave 
    it 
    lay 

    working 
    man 
    can't 
    get 

    nowhere 
    today 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    I paid 
    my 
    income 
    tax 

    And 
    the government 
    gives 
    back 

    But 
    I got 
    com
    ing 
    but 
    it ain't 
    much 

    paid 
    my 
    child 
    support 

    'Cause I'm 
    a law 
    abiding 

    sort 
    and 
    an easy 
    touch 

    And 
    I starve 
    my self 
    to death 

    Trying 
    to 
    keep 
    my 
    family 
    fed 

    I keep 
    my 
    budget 
    tight, 

    trying 
    to 
    get 
    myself 
    ahead 

    But 
    I'll 
    still 
    be 
    deep 
    in debt 

    the day 
    that I 
    fall 
    dead 

    That's 
    why 
    say 

    Verse 4
    Lord, 
    a working 
    man 
    can't 

    get 
    nowhere 
    today 

    working 
    man 
    can't 
    get 

    nowhere 
    today 

    A working 
    man 
    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    time 
    to 
    play 

    To
    night 
    work 
    my fanny 
    off 
    and 
    leave 
    it 
    lay 

    working 
    man 
    can't 
    get 
    nowhere 
    today 

    working 
    man 
    can't 
    get 
    nowhere 
    today

    • 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.
