    Verse 1
    Well, you went 
    uptown 

    Ridin' 
    in 
    your 
    limou
    sine 

    With 
    your 
    fine 
    Park 
    Avenue 
    clothes 

    You 
    had 
    the 
    Dom 
    Peri
    gnon 
    in 
    your 
    hand 

    And 
    the 
    spoon up your nose 

    Ooh, 
    and when you 
    wake 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    mornin' 

    with 
    your 
    head 
    on 
    fire 

    And 
    your 
    eyes 
    too 
    bloody 
    to 
    see 

    Go 
    on 
    and 
    cry 
    in 
    your 
    coffee 

    But 
    don't 
    come 
    bitchin' 
    to 
    me 

    Chorus 1
    Because 
    you 
    had 
    to 
    be 
    big 
    shot, 
    didn't 
    cha 

    You 
    had 
    to 
    open 
    up your 
    mouth 

    You had to be a 
    big

    didn't 
    cha 

    All 
    your 
    friends 
    were 
    so 
    knocked 
    out 

    You 
    had 
    to 
    have 
    the 
    last 
    word, 
    last 
    night 

    You 
    know 
    what 
    everything's 
    a
    bout 

    You 
    had 
    to 
    have 
    white 
    hot 
    spot
    light 

    You had to be a 
    big 
    shot 
    last 
    night,

    • 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.
