    Verse 1
    I read, 

    they're 
    havin' 
    rain 
    in 
    Califor
    nia 

    And 
    Lord, 
    hope 
    that 
    you're 

    not 
    gettin' 
    wet 

    That's 
    the 
    only 
    way 
    on 
    earth 

    have 
    for knowin' 
    how 
    you're 
    doin' 

    When 
    you 
    left, 
    you said, 

    you 
    call 
    but 
    you 
    ain't 
    yet 

    Verse 2

    And 
    think 
    was 
    better 
    off 
    when 

    was 
    hungry 

    And fightin' 
    off 
    the 
    wolf

    from 
    our 
    front 
    door 

    But 
    I wro
    te 
    this 
    song 
    and 

    it 
    came 
    on 
    strong 

    And 
    left 
    you 
    once 
    too 
    often 

    Now I 
    think 
    was 
    better 
    off 
    when 

    was 
    hungry 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    My 
    guitar 
    brought 
    us 
    here 
    to Bonmat,

    Texas 

    And 
    bought 
    you 
    everything 

    your 
    eyes 
    could 
    see 

    But 
    the mansion 
    couldn't 

    hold 
    you 

    Could nobody's 
    arms 
    to 
    warm 
    you 

    guess 
    gave 
    you 
    everything 
    but 
    me 

    Verse 4
    And 
    think 
    was 
    better 
    off 

    when 
    was 
    hungry 

    And 
    fightin' 
    off 
    the 
    wolf

    from 
    our 
    front 
    door 

    But 
    I wrote 
    this song 
    and 
    it 
    came 
    on 
    strong 

    And 
    left 
    you 
    once 
    too 
    often 

    Now 
    I think 
    was 
    better 
    off 

    Outro 1
    when 
    was 
    hungry

    • 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.
