    I 
    know 

    you've 
    heard 
    a lot 
    of stories, 

    but 
    I'd like 
    to tell 
    you this 
    one. 

    It 
    happened 
    some 
    years 
    ago, 
    in 
    a very 
    small 
    place, 

    where 
    we was 
    con
    sidered. 

    In 
    a 
    little 
    coun
    try 
    town, 

    I 
    was 
    born 
    and 
    raised. 

    Right 
    next 
    door 
    is where 
    she 
    lived, 

    Lucy 
    was 
    her 
    name 

    I 
    was 
    young, 

    but 
    my 
    love 
    grew 
    for 
    her 
    more 
    each day 

    But 
    her folk
    s, 
    did 
    not 
    un
    derstand, 

    they 
    made 
    me 
    stay 
    away 

    Locked 
    in 
    the 
    back 
    between 

    her 
    house 
    and 
    mine 

    There 
    stood 
    an old 
    brown 
    fence 

    And 
    although 
    it 
    stood 
    between 
    us, 

    this 
    is 
    where 
    each 
    day 
    we met 

    I 
    prayed 
    of all 
    the day 
    would 
    come 

    when 
    I'd 
    have 
    her by 
    my 
    side 

    There 
    would 
    be 
    no 
    fence 
    between 
    us 

    We 
    would 
    leave 
    all 
    this be
    hind 

    And 
    I 
    wanna 
    tell 
    you 
    all 

    I 
    was 
    a 
    back 
    yard 
    lovin' 
    man 

    I 
    just 
    wanna 
    testi
    fy 

    I 
    was 
    a 
    back 
    yard 
    lovin' 
    man 

    Oh, 
    I 
    remember 

    I 
    remem
    ber 

    The 
    years 
    have 
    passed 

    We've 
    grown 
    up 
    from 
    this 
    old town 

    She's 
    moved 

    Now 
    I'm 
    still 
    tryin' 
    to make 
    it 

    And 
    she's 
    makin' 
    front 
    page 
    news 

    I 
    mis
    s 
    that 
    little 
    coun
    try 
    girl 

    The 
    soft 
    touch 
    of 
    her hand 

    But 
    if we 
    were 
    seen 
    togeth
    er now 

    No 
    one 
    would understand 

    Even 
    though 
    she's 
    in 

    a dif
    ferent 
    world 

    Where 
    all 
    her 
    moves 
    are 
    grand 

    She 
    still 
    can't 
    erase 
    the love 
    she 
    had 

    For her 
    backyard 
    lovin' 
    man 

    If 
    we want 
    to 
    share 
    our love 

    We 
    have to 
    slip 
    away 

    It's 
    so 
    plain 
    to 
    see 
    there's 

    still 
    a 
    fence 

    Stand
    in' 
    in our 
    way 

    And 
    I 
    wanna 
    tell 
    you 
    all 
    I'm 
    still 

    her

    Oh, 
    oh, 
    I 
    remember

    When 
    we 
    were young 
    we 
    talked 
    of love 

    Through crack
    s 
    between 
    the 
    fence 

    And 
    that 
    barrier 
    between 
    our 
    love 

    Has 
    been 
    there 
    ever 
    since 

    I 
    want

    way 

    And 
    we won't 
    care

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.
