Verse 1
Dm
Hey, lady, can I say something
G
to you for a minute?
E
Please? No. Now before
Am
you take your coat off. That's it.
D
I got something to tell you.
See, what I have to say is so very
Dm
important to our relationship.
Why is it that every time we go out on the town,
D
G
we get around our friends?
E
Am
Man, you're always talking about what you got,
A
Asus4
huh,
D
G
Went out and bought for you,
D
Dm
How much money I make,
F
G
And what school our children go to,
E
Am
And all the fancy clothes and big pretty cars,
E
D
The big diamond rings,
Dm
and them fantastic mink coats.
G
Is you for real? No, I
E
don't think you are.
Am
Sit down. No, no, sit down.
Now don't say nothing.
You see...
D
Wait a minute, wait a minute,
that is your problem.
E
Dm
That is your problem. You're always saying
G
the wrong tthing at the right time.
E
You see... I don't- - I don't know how
Am
to explain this to you.
D
The best I can tell you is what my mother
E
Dm
told me as I was coming up.
She used to say, "Son,
F
G
chances go 'round."
E
She said, "The same people
that you meet going up,
Am
they make the same old faces
D
coming down."
Dm
Heh, tell the truth.
You see, people today,
G
they come out there to party.
They come out to party, man.
E
Am
They didn't come out to hear all that jive
mess you talking about.
D
G
D
Dm
You standing up in the corner with a bottle of champagne taking about Harry,
G
E
Joe, and Dick and Bobby and what they ain't got,
Am
And they live down in the lower development homes,
D
and you won't even help.
You won't even buy 'em a drink.
Dm
Is that any way to meet them?
G
If you're gonna boast,
E
Am
boast around somebody that has what you have.
Don't make your own brothers
D
and sisters feel bad.
Dm
You see... Listen.
G
E
I know you know what I'm talking about, because from time to time, I can remember you coming to me putting your head on my shoulder and crying,
Am
D
Dm
"Oh, papa, why? Why? Why don't nobody wanna be my friend?"
You told me a long time ago. You said,
G
"Papa, what am I doing?"
E
I didn't wanna tell you that.
Am
I thought you had sense enough to realize
D
what you're doing, but I see you don't.
Sit down and listen to me. No,
Dm
G
sit down!
E
You see, people are too sensitive today.
Am
They don't wanna hear all that jive
D
you talking back.
You see, they don't wanna hear about what you got,
'cause they're trying to get it, too.
Dm
G
Heh, tell the truth.
E
Am
I can't very much blame her.
D
As much as it hurts me, it hurts to see people going around behind our backs saying that "this woman this,
Dm
G
this woman that," or "she ain't this" or "she ain't that."
I wanna be proud of you,
E
Am
mama.
D
I wanna be proud of you.
Dm
Listen, as long as you live.
G
As long as you live whether
C
you're with me or not,
F
Be for real,

Dm
You shouldn't have to worry about
G
how you've been living good,
C
No, if you're smartly dressed. Hey,
Dm
baby. Hey, baby.
What you should be doing is getting
G
down on your knees every night,
C
And thanking the man above
for being blessed right now.
A

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
If you want your friends to think

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.”
