    • Verse 1
    What 
    do 
    you 
    want? 
    Where 

    do 
    you 
    find 
    it? 

    You can 
    call 
    it 
    what 
    you 
    will 

    The 
    sound 
    of 
    heartbreak 

    from 
    a 
    jail 
    cell 

    Finding 
    work 
    in 
    bar 
    all nights 

    Jukebox 
    letters 
    an
    d 
    numbers 

    The 
    burning 
    hearts 
    and 
    starving 
    minds 

    Souls 
    in 
    pain 
    as 
    if 
    I’m punishment 

    The 
    ways 
    and 
    needs 
    to 
    survive 

    Verse 2
    There’s a 
    passion 

    that’s put 
    on 
    the 
    line 

    Money 
    to 
    burn 
    and fortunes 
    to find 

    Without 
    a claim, 
    without 
    a stake 

    I’m living 
    only 
    for 
    today 

    Verse 3
    There 
    will 
    be starts, 
    there 
    will 
    be 
    stumbles 

    Our 
    tongue 
    out 
    on the 
    line 
    to dry 

    And 
    a piece 
    from 
    wager
    s of 
    working 

    And hell 
    breaks 
    loose 
    on 

    Sat
    urday 
    night 

    Aren’t you 
    happy? 
    The least 

    it’s living 

    Freedom 
    to 
    choose 
    to 
    stay 
    down 

    Always 
    a 
    wild 
    wind 
    blowing 

    Just 
    want 
    a guitar 
    and a 

    radio 

    Interlude 1


    In 
    the fields 
    of the 
    Verse 4
    valley 

    The sweet 
    and toil 
    along 
    with 
    the 
    land 

    No 
    cup 
    of gold, 
    no 
    candy 
    mountain 

    What 
    better 
    place 
    to make 
    a stand?

      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

      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.
