    Verse 1
    Oh, 
    there I 
    stood 

    in 
    the 
    great 
    big 
    city 

    Where 
    the 
    buildings 
    tall 
    and 

    the 
    girls're all 
    pretty 

    Up 
    stepped 
    a 
    man 
    he 
    said, 
    "Come 
    here, 
    son 

    I 
    got 
    a big 
    deal 
    now 
    if 
    you 
    got 
    the mon'" 

    I 
    bought 
    the 
    Brooklyn 
    Bridge 

    With 
    two 
    dollars, 
    two 
    cigarettes 
    and

    t my 
    Verse 2
    bridge 
    for 
    a 
    day 
    or 
    so 

    But 
    then 
    my 
    money 
    was 
    runnin' 
    low 

    And 
    I 
    tried 
    to 
    make 
    me 
    a sale 

    But 
    the 
    man 
    done 
    come 

    and he 
    took 
    me 
    to jail 

    Verse 3
    Said 
    I's 
    crazy, 
    laughed 
    at 
    me 

    Told 
    me 
    that 
    society 
    frowned 
    upon 
    it 

    Well, 
    then 
    he stood 
    me 

    up 
    in 
    a 
    front 
    of 
    a 
    judge 

    I 
    stood 
    there 
    grinnin' 
    but 

    the judge 
    didn't 
    budge 

    Verse 4
    He 
    said 
    30 dollars 
    or 
    30 days 

    And 
    I 
    looked 
    at 
    him 
    and 
    all 
    I 
    could say 

    Was, 
    "I'd 
    take 
    that 
    30 dollars, 

    couldn't 
    make 
    that 
    35, could 
    you? 

    Spend 
    all 
    my 
    money 
    on 
    that 
    bridge" 

    Well, 
    after 
    Verse 5
    90 days 
    in 
    that 
    man's 
    jail 

    I 
    still 
    tryin' 
    to 
    make 
    me 
    a sale 

    Met 
    some 
    cat 
    called 
    Skid 
    Row 
    Pete 

    So 
    I 
    traded 
    it 
    off 
    for 
    52nd Street 

    Big 
    deal, 
    oh 
    big 
    man 
    of 
    action 

    A 
    big 
    transaction 

    Verse 6

    I 
    bet 
    the 
    folk
    s 
    back 
    home 

    could 
    never 
    realize 

    That 
    in 
    a 
    great 
    big 
    town 
    this size 

    Boy 
    like 
    theirs 
    could 
    own 
    the street 

    Spend 
    his 
    days 
    just 
    to 

    keepin' 
    it 
    neat 

    Verse 7
    Pickin' 
    up 
    cigarette 
    butts, 

    wine 
    bottles 

    Terrorizing 
    the 
    pedestrians, 

    shoo 
    them 
    pigeons 

    I bet 
    old 
    Skid 
    Row 
    Pete 

    ain't 
    got no 
    pigeons 

    On 
    that 
    Brooklyn 
    Bridge 

    And 
    I bet 
    he can't 
    trade 
    that 

    bridge 
    off 
    either 

    Because 
    a man 
    gonna 
    come 

    take 
    him 
    down 

    Ain't 
    that 
    bad?

      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.
