    Verse 1
    Hey 
    Charlie, 
    I'm 
    pregnant 

    Living 
    on 
    9th 
    Street 

    Right 
    above 
    dirty 
    bookstore 

    Off 
    Euclid 
    Avenue 

    stopped 
    taking 
    dope 

    And 
    quit 
    drinking 
    whiskey 

    My 
    old 
    man 
    plays 
    the 
    trombone 

    And 
    works 
    out 
    at 
    the 
    track 

    Verse 2
    He 
    says 
    that 
    he 
    loves 
    me 

    Even 
    though 
    its 
    not 
    his 
    baby 

    He 
    says 
    that 
    he'll 
    raise 
    him 
    up 

    Like 
    he 
    would 
    his 
    own 
    son 

    He 
    gave 
    me 
    ring 

    That 
    was 
    worn 
    by 
    his 
    mother 

    And 
    he 
    takes 
    me 
    out 
    dancin' 

    Every 
    Satur- 
    day 
    night 

    Verse 3
    Hey 
    Charlie, 
    think 
    about 
    you 

    Every 
    time 
    pass 
    fillin' 
    station 

    On 
    account 
    of 
    all 
    the 
    grease 

    You 
    used 
    to 
    wear 
    in 
    your 
    hair 

    still 
    have 
    that 
    record 

    Of 
    Little 
    Anthony 
    and 
    The 
    Im
    perials 

    But 
    someone 
    stole 
    my 
    record 
    player 

    Now 
    how 
    do 
    ya 
    like 
    that? 

    Bridge 1
    And 
    hey, 
    Charlie, 
    almost 
    went 
    crazy 

    After 
    Mario 
    got 
    busted 

    went 
    back 
    to 
    Oma
    ha 

    To 
    live 
    with 
    my 
    folks 

    But 
    everyone 
    used 
    to 
    know 

    Was 
    either 
    dead 
    or 
    in 
    prison 

    So 
    came 
    back 
    to 
    Minneapolis 

    This 
    time 
    think 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    stay 

    Verse 4
    Hey 
    Charlie, 
    think 
    I'm 
    happy 

    For 
    the 
    first 
    time 
    since 
    my 
    accident 

    wish 
    had 
    all the 
    money 

    We 
    used 
    to 
    spend 
    on 
    dope 

    I'd 
    buy 
    me 
    used 
    car 
    lot 

    And 
    wouldn't 
    sell 
    any 
    of 
    'em 

    I'd 
    just 
    drive 
    different 
    car 
    every 
    day 

    De
    pendin' 
    on 
    how 
    feel 

    Verse 5
    Hey 
    Char
    lie, 
    for 
    Chris' 
    sakes 

    if 
    you 
    wanna 
    know 
    the 
    truth 
    of 
    it 

    don't 
    have 
    husband 

    He 
    don't 
    play 
    the 
    trombone 

    need 
    to 
    borrow 
    money 

    To 
    pay 
    this 
    lawyer 
    Charlie, 
    hey 

    I'll 
    be 
    eligible 
    for 
    parole 

    Come 
    Valentine's 
    Day

    • 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.
