    Verse 1
    I played 

    a wedding 
    for 
    the 
    money, 

    And 
    wished that 
    could 
    tell 

    the 
    bride 
    and 
    groom 

    Just 
    what I 
    thought of marriage 

    And 
    what's 
    in store 
    after 

    Verse 2
    their 
    honeymoon. 


    And 
    I was 
    grumblin' 
    to 
    the dancers 

    'Bout 
    how 
    men 
    and 
    women 
    ought 

    to live 
    apart 

    And 
    how 
    a prom
    ise 
    never 

    made 
    can not 
    be 
    broken 

    And 
    can 
    never 
    break 

    your heart 

    Verse 3

    When sud
    denly 
    from 

    out 
    of nowhere, 

    A little 
    girl 
    came 
    dancing 
    'cross 
    the 
    floor, 

    And 
    all 
    her 
    crinolines 
    were billowing 

    Beneath 
    the skirt 
    of calico 

    that she 
    wore. 

    Oh 
    what 
    a joy 
    fell 
    on 

    the honored 
    guests 

    As each 
    of 
    them was 
    drawn 

    inside 
    her 
    dream, 

    And 
    they 
    laughed 
    and 
    clapped 
    and 

    stomped 
    their feet 

    And hollered 
    at her 
    "dance 
    little 

    jean" 


    Verse 4
    Dance, 
    little 
    jean, 
    this 
    day 
    is 
    for 
    you, 

    Two 
    people 
    you 
    love, 

    stood 
    up 
    and 
    said 
    "I 
    do" 

    Dance 
    little 
    jean, 
    the 
    prayer 
    that 
    you 
    had 

    Was 
    answered 
    today 

    Your 
    mama's 
    marrying 
    your 
    dad 

    Verse 5
    Well, 



    my 
    cynical 

    heart 
    just 
    melted 

    'Cause 
    I knew 
    what this 

    get 
    together 
    meant 

    How 
    it ended 
    year 
    of tears 

    and 
    sad 
    confusion 

    That 
    the little 
    girl 
    had 
    spent. 


    Well they 
    told 
    the 
    band 
    to pack 
    it up 

    About 
    the 
    time 
    the 
    couple 
    cut 
    the cake, 

    But 
    we played 
    as long 
    as 
    they stayed 

    For 
    love 
    and 
    laughs 
    and little 

    jeanie's 
    sake. 


    Verse 6
    Dance, 
    little 
    jean, 
    this 
    day 
    is for 
    you, 

    Two 
    people 
    you 
    love, 

    stood 
    up 
    and said 
    "I do" 

    Dance 
    little 
    jean, 
    the 
    prayer 
    that 
    you had 

    Was 
    answered 
    today 

    Your 
    mama's 
    marrying 
    your 
    dad

    • 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.
