    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
    G

    We got the crude oil blues

    Cause the winter time sure gets cold
    D

    to the bottom of my shoes
    A

    Well my hands are shakin'

    and my knees are weak
    G

    But it ain't because of love
    D
    A

    It's from lack of heat
    D

    I'm gonna tell you a story
    A
    D

    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'
    G

    He's got the crude oil blues

    He said the wintertime can sure get
    D

    cold to the bottom of your shoes
    G
    A

    He said, burnin' this booze

    just destroys my soul
    G

    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"
    G

    We got the crude oil blues

    And son, if we can't make records
    D

    then we don't need you
    A

    I said, "What am I gonna do if I

    can't sing and pick?"
    G

    He said, "Well just keep yourself

    warm playin' all them hot licks"

    • 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.
