    red 

    Tax and 
    fairs are 
    going up 

    You say, 
    "Billy

    The 
    government can't 

    decide on 
    bussin' 

    or at least 
    thats what 
    they said 

    Verse 2

    heard you, when 
    you told 
    me 

    You said, 
    "Billy 
    Green was 
    dead" 

    But 
    let me 
    tell you bout 
    these hot- 
    pants 

    that this 
    big legged 
    sister 
    wore 

    when i 
    partied 
    with the 
    alphas 

    what? 

    Billy took 
    an overdose 

    well now 
    junkies 
    will be 
    junkies 

    but did you 
    see 
    Gunsmoke last 
    night? 

    man they 
    had them
    selves a 
    shootout and folks 

    was 
    dyin' 
    left and right 

    At the 
    en
    d when 
    Matt was 
    cornerd i had 

    damn 
    near give up 
    hope 

    What 
    you? Why you 
    keep on 
    Verse 3
    interrupting 
    me? 
    you say, 

    My 
    son 
    is taking dope? 

    Call 
    the law 
    and call 
    the doctor! 

    What 
    you mean 
    i shouldn't scream? 

    My only 
    son is 
    taking dope? 

    Should i 
    sit 
    here like 
    I'm pleased? 

    Is 
    that familiar 
    Verse 4
    anybody? 

    Verse 5
    Check 
    out whats inside 
    your 
    head 

    Because it 
    never 
    seems to 
    matter

    when it's 
    Billy Green 
    who's 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.

      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.
