    Verse 1
    It 
    was 
    storm
    night 

    You 
    know 
    the 
    kind 
    where 
    the 
    lightning 
    strike 

    And 
    was 
    hangin' 
    out 

    wit 
    some 
    of 
    my 
    "artsy" 
    friends 

    Ooh 
    wee 
    ooh 
    wee 
    ooh 

    The 
    night 
    was 
    long 
    the 
    night 
    went 
    on 

    People 
    coolin' 
    out 
    until 
    the 
    break 
    of 
    dawn 

    Incense 
    was 
    burnin' 

    so 
    I'm 
    feelin' 
    right, 
    aight 

    Pre-chorus 1
    See 
    picks 
    my 
    friends 

    like 
    pick 
    my 
    fruit 

    And 
    Granny 
    told 
    me 
    that 

    when 
    was 
    only 
    youth 

    don't 
    walk 
    a
    round 

    trying 
    to 
    be 
    what 
    I'm 
    not 

    don't 
    waste 
    my 
    time 

    trying 
    to 
    get 
    what 
    you 
    got 

    work 
    at 
    pleasin' 
    me 

    cause 
    can't 
    please 
    you 

    And 
    that's 
    why 
    do 
    what 
    do 

    My 
    soul 
    flies 
    free 
    like 
    willow 
    tree 

    Doo 
    wee 
    doo 
    wee 
    do 
    wee 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    if 
    you 
    don't 
    want

    with 
    me 

    You 
    don't 
    want 
    to 
    pick 
    from 
    my 
    apple 
    tree 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    don't 
    want 

    to 
    be 
    down 
    with 
    me 

    Then 
    you 
    don't 
    want

    if 
    you 
    don't 
    want 

    to 
    be

    apple 
    tree

    You

    down 

    Verse 2
    have 
    hoe 

    And 
    take 
    it 
    every
    where 
    go 

    'Cause 
    I'm 
    planting 
    seeds 

    So 
    reaps 
    what 
    sow 
    ya

    Oh

    My

    movin' 
    like 
    rollin' 
    stone 

    can't 
    con
    trol 
    the 
    soul 
    flowin' 
    in 
    me 

    Ooh

    • 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.
