    • Verse 1
    Bright 
    lights 
    and 
    promises, 

    a pocket 
    full 
    of 
    dreams 

    That's 
    what 
    they 
    pay 
    me 
    to be 

    Gold 
    lame 
    and 
    diamond
    s 
    - I am 

    a hometown 
    queen 

    Honey, 
    would 
    you 
    sing 
    it 
    just 

    for 
    me? 

    Verse 2

    When 
    I 
    was 
    good... 

    then 
    I 
    was 
    bad 

    I 
    never 
    thought 
    i'd 
    end 
    up 
    this 
    way 

    with 
    no 
    dreams 
    to 
    hide 
    me 

    - bright 
    lights 
    to 
    guide 
    me 

    How 
    long 
    does 
    it 
    take 
    to make 
    the 

    grade? 

    Verse 3

    Everywhere 
    I 
    hear 
    a 
    ringing 

    in 
    my 
    ears 

    Drummer, 
    let 
    the 
    mu
    sic 
    play 

    Small- 
    town 
    blues, 
    make 
    it 
    loud, 

    make 
    it do 

    Listen 
    to 
    the 
    music 
    sway 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    Bar 
    rails 
    and cocktails 

    - have 
    you 
    got 
    a 
    light? 

    That's 
    all it 
    pays 
    to 
    keep 

    in 
    sight 

    Overused 
    and 
    much 
    abused 

    promises 
    of de
    light 

    Honey, 
    would 
    you 
    care 
    to spend 

    the 
    night? 

    Verse 5

    Take 
    a little 
    time 
    - some 

    memories 
    and 
    wine 

    Loosen 
    up the 
    sucker 
    by 
    the bar 

    And 
    if 
    he 
    wants 
    to 
    hold 
    you, 

    if 
    he wants 
    to know 
    you 

    Honey, 
    that's 
    what you're 

    here 
    for 

    Verse 6

    Until 
    all 
    I 
    see 
    is 
    them 
    reaching 

    out 
    for 
    me 

    Drummer, 
    play 
    that 
    old- 
    time 
    melody 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 7
    Bright 
    lights 
    and promises, 

    that's 
    all it's 
    for 

    Leave 
    and 
    enter 
    by 

    the ser
    vice 
    door 

    Now 
    I'm 
    gold 
    lame 
    and 
    dia
    mond
    s, 

    even 
    if my 
    gold 
    is worn 

    Honey, 
    who 
    could 
    ask for 
    more?

    • 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.”
