    Well 
    now, 

    listen 
    people 
    let me 
    tell you 
    some news 

    I'll 
    sing 
    a song 
    called 

    the crude 
    oil blues 

    We're 
    low 
    on heat 
    'n' all 

    We're 
    low on 
    gas 

    And 
    I'm so 
    cold I'm 

    about to 
    freeze 
    myself 

    We 
    got the 
    crude 
    oil blues 

    Cause 
    the 
    winter 
    time 
    sure 
    gets 
    cold 

    to the 
    bottom 
    of my 
    shoes 

    Well 
    my 
    hands 
    are shakin' 

    and my knees 
    are weak 

    But it 
    ain't because 
    of 
    love 

    It's from 
    lack 
    of heat 

    I'm gonna tell 
    you 
    a story 

    about 
    this 
    drunk I 
    know 

    He 
    kept his 
    basement 
    full 

    of homemade 
    brew 

    But 
    the winter 
    got so 
    bad 
    it screwed 

    up 
    the boy's 
    thinkin' 

    He got so 
    cold 
    he had to 

    burn 
    all his drinkin' 

    He's 
    got the 
    crude 
    oil blues 

    He said the 
    wintertime 
    can 
    sure 
    get 

    cold 
    to 
    the bottom 
    of your 
    shoes 

    He said, 
    burnin' 
    this 
    booze 

    just destroys 
    my 
    soul 

    But there's 
    one thing 
    about 
    it honey 

    When 
    you're cold, 
    you're 
    cold 

    I've got the 
    crude 
    oil blues 





    Well, 
    when 
    we made 
    this record 
    there 

    was a 
    little bit 
    of doubt 

    Whether 
    or not 
    the ting 
    was 

    ever gonna 
    come out 

    I said, 
    "Hey 
    chief, you 
    reckon 

    this record 
    will be 
    released?" 

    He 
    said, "Son, 
    we 
    ain't got 
    enough oil 

    to keep 
    the 
    pressed 
    greased" 

    We 
    got the 
    crude 
    oil blues 

    And 
    son, 
    if we 
    can't 
    make 
    records 

    then we 
    don't 
    need 
    you 

    I said, 
    "What 
    am 
    I gonna 
    do if I 

    can't 
    sing 
    and pick?" 

    He 
    said, 
    "Well just 
    keep yourself 

    warm playin' 
    all 
    them hot 
    licks" 

    We 
    got 
    the crude 
    oil 
    blues. 

    Oh 
    mama, 
    don't forget 
    to bring 
    in 

    the brass 
    monkey 

    And remember 
    what 
    Albert 
    Ein
    stein 
    said 
    "That 

    coolin' 
    is 
    conducive 
    to 
    cud
    dlin'" 

    Honey I 
    love ya 
    but pass 
    the 
    duck 
    down 

    Hey 
    I read 
    a sign 
    on 
    the pump 
    at my 

    favorite 
    gas 
    station 
    the other 
    day 

    It 
    said 
    uh, 
    "He who 
    expecteth 

    nothin' 
    ain't 
    gonna 
    be 
    deceived"

    • 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.
