    Verse 1
    Billy 
    Dee 
    was 
    seven
    teen 
    when 

    he 
    turned 
    twenty-one 

    Fool
    ing 
    Fooling 
    with some 
    foolish 

    things 
    he 
    could've 
    left 
    alone 

    But he 
    had 
    to try 
    to 
    satisfy 
    a thirst 

    he 
    couldn't 
    name 

    Driven 
    towards 
    the 
    darkness 

    by 
    the devil 
    in his 
    vein
    s 

    Verse 2
    All 
    around 
    the 
    honky 
    tonks, 

    searching 
    for 
    a sign 

    Gettin' 
    by 
    on 
    gettin' 
    high 
    on 
    women, 

    words 
    and 
    wine 

    Some 
    folks 
    called 
    him 
    crazy, 
    Lord, 

    and 
    others 
    called 
    him 
    free 

    But we 
    just 
    called 
    us 
    lucky 
    for 

    the love 
    of 
    Billy 
    Dee 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    Busy 
    goin' 
    his 
    own way 

    and speakin' 
    his 
    own 
    words 

    Facin' 
    and 
    forgettin' 
    every 

    warnin' 
    that 
    he heard 

    Makin' 
    friends 
    and takin' 
    any 

    crazy 
    chance 
    he could 

    Gettin' 
    busted 
    for 
    the bad 
    times 

    and be
    lievin' 
    in 
    the good 


    Verse 4
    Billy 
    took 
    a beatin' 
    from 
    a world, 

    he meant 
    no 
    harm 

    The score 
    was 
    written 
    in 

    the scars 
    up on 
    his arm 

    Some 
    felt 
    he 
    was 
    payin' 
    for 

    the life 
    he 
    tried 
    to lead 

    But all 
    we 
    felt 
    was 
    sorry 
    for 
    our 

    good 
    friend 
    Billy 
    Dee 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 5
    It may 
    be 
    his soul 
    was 
    bigger 
    than 

    a 
    body's 
    oughta 
    be 

    Singin' 
    songs 
    and bringin' 
    laughter 

    to 
    the likes 
    of 
    you 
    and me 

    'Cause 
    the 
    world 
    he saw 
    was 
    sadder 

    than 
    the one 
    he 
    hoped 
    to find

    But it 
    wasn't 
    near 
    as 
    lonesome 

    as 
    the one 
    he 
    left 
    behind 

    Verse 6
    Yesterday 
    they 
    found 
    him 
    on 

    the floor 
    of his 
    hotel 

    Reachin' 
    towards 
    the 
    needle, 
    Lord, 

    that 
    drove 
    him 
    down 
    to Hell 

    Some 
    folks 
    called 
    it suicide, 

    others 
    blame 
    the speed 

    But we all 
    called 
    it 
    crucified 
    when 

    Billy 
    Dee O.D.'d

      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 🙂

      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.
