    Verse 1
    Champagne 
    don't 
    drive 
    me 
    crazy, 

    cocaine 
    don't 
    make 
    me 
    lazy, 
    ain't 
    nobody's 
    business 
    but 
    my 
    own. 

    Candy 
    is 
    dandy, 
    but 
    liquor 
    is 
    quicker, 

    you 
    can 
    take 
    all 
    the 
    liquor 
    down 
    and 
    cost 
    a 
    ricker. 

    Ain't 
    nobody's 
    business 
    but 

    my 
    own. 








    I 
    discovered 

    Buck 

    Owens 
    and 

    Bob 

    Dylan 
    on 
    the 
    same 
    night 
    on 
    an old 

    wooden 
    tube 
    -driven 
    radio 

    belonged 
    to my 

    Uncle 

    George 

    Malloy. 

    I 
    thought 

    Buck 
    and 

    Bob 
    were 
    some 
    new 
    form 
    of 
    hillbilly 
    beat 
    folk 
    music, 

    an
    d 
    then 
    someone 

    turned 
    me 
    on 
    to 
    the 
    writings 
    of 

    Charles 

    Bukowski 
    and 
    his 
    column, 

    Notes 
    of 
    a 

    Dirty 

    Old 

    Man 
    in 

    Open 

    City 

    Newspaper. 

    And 
    later 
    on 
    I'd 
    ac
    tually 
    meet 

    Bukowski 
    on 

    Hollywood 
    and 

    Vine 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    street 
    and 
    we'd 

    start 
    to 
    correspond. 

    Of 
    at 
    the 

    Ash 

    Grove 
    there 
    was 

    Ramblin' 

    Jack

    Elliot, 

    Neon 

    Sylvi
    a, 

    Lightnin' 

    Hopkins, 

    Mance 

    Lipscomb. 

    Later 
    on 
    I'd 
    see 

    Graham 

    Parsons' 
    melting 
    coun
    try 
    and 
    rock, 

    the old 

    Charlie 

    Chaplin 

    Studios 
    on 

    La 

    Brea. 

    But 

    Dave 

    Van 

    Ronk 
    out 
    east, 

    the 
    growling 
    minstrel 
    whose 
    voice 

    would 
    roar 
    above 
    the 
    drunken 
    den 
    of the 

    White 

    Horse 

    Tav
    ern, 
    where 

    Dylan 

    Thomas 

    drank 
    him
    self 
    to 
    death. 

    Man, 
    a 
    night 
    in 

    Dave 

    Van 

    Ronk's 
    apartment, 
    wow. 

    Well, 
    don't 
    drive 
    me 
    crazy, 

    cocaine 
    don't 
    make 
    me 
    lazy 

    Ain't 
    nobody's 
    business 
    but 
    my 
    own 

    New 
    candy 
    is 
    dandy 
    but 
    liquor 
    is 
    quicker 

    You 
    can 
    take 
    all 
    the 
    liquor 
    down 
    to 

    Costa 

    Rica 

    Ain't 
    nobody's 
    busi

    ness 
    but 
    my 
    own 

    Let's 
    take 
    it 
    now 

    Ain't 
    nobody's 
    business 
    but 
    my 
    own

      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.
