    Verse 1
    C

    I wish a buck was still silver
    F

    It was back when the country was strong
    G

    Back before Elvis, before
    C

    Vietnam war came along

    Before the Beatles and yesterday
    F

    When a man could still work and still would
    G

    Is the best of the free life behind us now
    C

    And are the good times really over for good?
    Chorus 1
    C

    And are we rolling downhill
    F

    like a snowball headed for hell
    G

    With no kinda chance for the flag
    C

    or the liberty bell?

    Wish a Ford and a Chevy
    F

    Would still last ten years like they should
    G

    Is the best of the free life behind us now
    C

    And are the good times really over for good?
    Verse 2
    C

    I wish coke was still cola
    F

    And a joint was a bad place to be
    G
    C

    It was back before Nixon lied to us all on T.V.

    Before microwave ovens
    F

    when a girl could still cook, and still would
    G

    Is the best of the free life behind us now
    C

    Are the good times really over for good?
    Chorus 2
    C

    Are we rolling downhill
    F

    like a snowball headed for hell
    G

    With no kinda chance for the flag
    C

    or the liberty bell?

    Wish a Ford and a Chevy
    F

    Would still last ten years like they should
    G

    Is the best of the free life behind us now
    C

    And are the good times really over for good?
    Verse 3
    C

    Stop rolling downhill
    F

    like a snowball headed for hell
    G

    Stand up for the flag
    C

    and let's all ring the liberty bell

    Let's make a Ford and a Chevy
    F

    That would still last ten years like they should

    'Cause the best of the free life
    G

    is still yet to come
    C
    And the good times ain't over for good

    • 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.
