    Verse 1
    Oh, 
    I used 
    to wish 
    I was 
    a hard 
    line 
    taker, 

    and they'd say, 

    "Six 
    to one 
    a half 
    dozen'll break 
    her", 

    'till 
    I fell 
    in love 
    with a young 

    man 
    who sang 
    the blues 

    Oh, 
    bless 
    my 
    daddy, 
    he warned 
    me 
    well 

    He'd 
    whisper 
    in my 
    ear 
    and say, "Now 
    look 
    out, 

    gal, 

    There's 
    al
    ways 
    a ne'er 
    do well 

    gonna 
    call 
    you 
    the fool" 

    Verse 2
    [Chorus:] 
    He said, "you'll 

    never 
    learn 
    to 
    fish 

    on a bor
    rowed 
    line 

    You'll nev
    er learn 
    to write 
    if you're walk

    in' 'round 
    cry
    in' 

    And it's 
    a 
    pity 
    that 
    you're lov
    er died 
    young, 

    but, 

    You'll 
    never 
    get 
    tired 
    of livin' 
    alone". 

    Verse 3
    So, 
    now 
    I dream 
    of the 
    lover 

    that 
    I don't 
    know 

    It's safer 
    this 
    way 
    ''cause 
    I don't 
    have 
    to 
    go, 

    oh, 
    and he 

    Won't 
    come, 

    so nobody 
    goes 
    away 

    Sometimes 
    I wish 
    for 

    the warmth 
    of his hand 

    Take 
    a 
    look 
    in these 
    eyes 

    and 
    understand 

    I'm just 
    a 
    little 
    too 
    old 
    to be 
    a-learnin' the 
    the rules 
    of the game 




    Verse 4
    [Chorus] 

    Oh, 




    maybe 

    I could 
    take 
    him to Mexico 

    We'd kick 
    our 
    heels 
    in the warm 

    cloudy 
    gulf 

    He'd sing 
    a 
    song 
    about the 

    weather 
    in 
    the 
    Poconos; 

    This 
    lover 
    that 
    I don't 
    know 

    Then two 
    hearts 
    would pound 

    'stead 
    of one 
    in the night 

    I'd 
    learn 
    to fish 
    with my 
    own 
    line 

    Catch 
    my 
    dream 
    and 
    hope that 
    line 
    would hold 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    [Chorus] 

    No, 
    I 
    never 
    get 
    tired 
    of livin' 
    alone 

    Sometimes 
    my 
    feet 
    get 
    cold, 

    when 
    I'm 
    livin' 
    alone,

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
