  • Verse 1
    She couldn't 

    stand 
    me 
    anymore 

    So 
    she just 
    took 
    the kids 
    and 
    went 

    You 
    see, 
    I've 
    got 
    a drinkin' 
    problem 

    Verse 2
    All 
    the money 
    that 
    we had 
    I spent 


    Now 
    I must 
    die 
    by 
    my 
    own hand 

    'Cause 
    I'm 
    not 
    man 

    enough 
    to 
    live 
    alone 

    Hey, 
    hey, 
    she's 
    better 
    off 
    without 
    me 

    And 
    I'm 
    better 
    off 
    dead 

    now 
    that she's 
    gone 

    Verse 3
    Ah, 
    she 
    gave 
    the most, 
    took 
    the least 

    She even 
    had 
    the priest 

    come 
    to 
    our home 

    And I 
    cried 
    and 
    prayed 
    and 
    promised 

    Verse 4
    That 
    I'd leave 
    the 
    stuff 
    alone 


    Now 
    I must 
    leave 
    what 
    I can't 
    face 

    I hope 
    she finds 
    the kids 
    a happy 
    home 

    Hey, 
    hey 
    she's 
    better 
    off 
    without 
    me 

    And 
    I'm 
    better 
    off 
    dead 
    now 

    that she's 
    gone 

    Verse 5
    She used 
    to call 
    her 
    friend 
    and 
    cry 

    Then 
    the man 
    cut off 
    the 
    telephone 

    She'd 
    sit 
    and cry 
    while 

    went 
    out 

    And pawned 
    the things 
    we 
    owned 

    Verse 6
    Now 
    I must 
    die 
    by 
    my 
    own hand 

    'Cause 
    I'm 
    not 
    man 

    enough 
    to 
    live 
    alone 

    Hey, 
    hey 
    she's 
    better 
    off 
    without 

    me 
    and 
    I'm 
    better 
    off 
    dead

    • 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.
