    'bout 
    you, cross

    ing Southern 
    Alberta 

    Canola fields 
    on 
    a July 
    day 

    About 
    the same 
    chartreuse 

    as 
    that sixty-n
    ine Bug 

    Bug 

    You 
    used 
    to 
    drive 
    around 
    San 
    Jose 

    Verse 2
    Never 
    knew 
    where 
    my old 
    white 

    Lincol
    n might 
    take 
    you 

    Party 
    on wheels 
    with sui
    cide 
    doors 

    Bring 
    the kid
    and the dogs 

    and your grand
    ma too 

    We 
    al
    ways 
    had 
    room 
    for more 

    'Til 
    that white-knuckle 
    ride 
    ride 

    back 
    from 
    Santa 
    Cruz

    st surfer 
    surfer 

    on the cent
    ral 
    coast 

    Had 
    you wrapped 
    up 
    all the way 

    back 
    to Los 
    Gatos 

    And 
    I could've 
    cut 
    his throat 

    And it wasn't 
    like 
    we 
    were 

    an item 
    to start 
    with 

    It had 
    no 
    basis 
    in fact 

    But 
    the whis
    key 
    could 
    push me 

    to sud
    den 
    extremes 

    I don't 
    wanna think 
    about 
    that, 

    I don't 
    wanna 
    think 
    about 
    that 

    Verse 3
    Take 
    my 
    hand, 
    Mar
    ie 

    Take 
    death 
    grip 
    on some 
    part 
    of 
    me 

    Keep 
    me from 
    drifting 
    far 
    out 
    to sea 

    Or I'll 
    be 
    lost

    Verse 4

    We 
    all drif
    ted 
    away 
    with 

    the days 
    getting 
    shorter 

    Seek
    ing 
    our place 

    in the great
    er scheme 

    Kid
    and careers 
    and a vague 

    sense 
    of order 

    Busting 
    apart 
    at the seam

    I heard 
    you 
    switched 
    coasts, 

    moved 
    in with 
    your sister 

    doubt 
    you'd have called 
    it fa
    milial 
    bliss 

    We 
    met 
    up in Brooklyn 

    before 
    it went 
    hip
    ster 

    You 
    car
    ried 
    your key
    in your fist 

    In a way 
    back 
    corner 
    of a cross-town 
    bus 

    bus 

    We were 
    hid
    ing 
    out 
    under my 
    hat 

    Cashing 
    in 
    on a thirty-year 
    crush 

    crush 

    You can't 
    be 
    young 
    and 
    do 
    that 

    You 
    can't 
    be young 
    and do 
    that 

    Take 
    my 
    hand, 
    Marie 
    Verse 5

    Take 
    death 
    grip 

    on some 
    part 
    of 
    me 

    Keep 
    me 
    from 
    drifting

    Verse 6
    I was think
    ing 'bout 
    you 
    crossing 

    South
    ern 
    Alberta 

    Canola fields 
    at har
    vest 
    time 

    Looked like 
    tumble
    weeds 

    all raked 
    up 
    into rows 

    Brown 
    rusty 
    contour 
    lines 

    And 
    there's not 
    much 
    moving 

    on the 
    ro
    mance 
    radar 

    Not 
    that I'm craving 
    it 
    all 
    that much 

    But 
    I still 
    need 
    to feel 
    every once 
    in a while 

    The 
    warmth 
    of a smile 
    and a touch 

    And 
    in 
    a way 
    back 
    corner 

    of 
    a cross-town 
    bus 

    bus 

    We 
    were hid
    ing 
    out 
    under my 
    hat 

    Cashing 
    in 
    on a thirty-year 
    crush 

    crush 

    You can't 
    be 
    young 
    and do 
    that 

    You can't 
    be 
    young 
    and do 
    that 

    You can't 
    be 
    young 
    and do 
    that 

    You can't 
    be 
    young 
    and do 
    that 

    Verse 7
    Take 
    my 
    hand, 
    Marie 

    Take

    • 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.
