    Verse 1
    I 
    was 
    a- playin' 
    rock 

    and roll 
    in a 
    local 
    theater 

    Well, 
    I knew 
    it had 
    to happen 

    to me 
    sooner 
    or later 

    There was 
    a foxy 
    little 
    lady 
    dancing 

    down 
    in the front 
    row 

    I said, 
    "Honey, 
    can you 
    meet me 
    when I 

    finish 
    the next 
    show?" 

    There was 
    somethin' 
    about the 

    lady 
    that 
    really 
    got 
    to 
    me 

    She 
    was 
    down 
    on my 
    zipper, 

    tears 
    a- ripplin' 
    through 
    me 

    She 
    said, 
    "Boy, let me 
    tell 
    you if you're 

    gonna 
    give me 
    good 
    love 

    Start 
    makin' 
    good 
    love, it's 
    what 

    you really 
    got 
    plenty 
    of" 

    Verse 2
    She told 
    me 
    now, 

    "Don't 
    go 
    near 
    the water, 
    yeah 

    If 
    you 
    can't 
    swim 
    the tide" 

    She told 
    me 
    now, 

    "Don't 
    go 
    near 
    the water, 
    yeah 

    Verse 3
    If 
    you 
    can't 
    swim 
    the tide" 


    Well, let me 
    tell 
    you, couldn't 

    wait 
    'til the 
    last 
    song 
    was over 

    I 
    had 
    sixty- 
    nine 
    ways 
    I was 

    really 
    gonna 
    show 
    her 

    So I 
    took her 
    to the 
    dressing 

    room and 
    really 
    got 
    to 
    it 

    Everything 
    I 
    thought I'd 
    show 

    her, well, she 
    already 
    knew 
    it 

    But I 
    looked at 
    my 
    watch, 

    it was 
    time 
    for me 
    to 
    go 

    I 
    said, 
    "Honey, 

    got to 
    stop 
    or I'll be 
    late 
    for the 
    next show" 

    She 
    said, "There 
    ain't 
    no 
    way I 

    got to 
    stop 
    this 
    good 
    thing 

    If you're 
    gonna 
    be 
    a man, 

    you got to 
    finish 
    what 
    you started" 

    Verse 4
    She told 
    me 
    now, 

    "Don't 
    go 
    near 
    the water 

    If 
    you 
    can't 
    swim 
    the tide" 

    She told 
    me 
    now, 

    "Don't 
    go 
    near 
    the water, 
    yeah 

    If you 
    can't 
    swim 
    the tide" 

    You got 
    to 
    stop 
    it, baby 

    She 



    told me 
    now, 

    "Don't 
    go 
    near 
    the water, 
    yeah 

    If 
    you 
    can't 
    swim 
    the tide" 

    She told 
    me 
    now, 
    "Don't 
    go 
    near 
    the water 

    If 
    you 
    can't 
    swim 
    the tide" 

    She told 
    me now, 
    "Don't 
    go 
    near 
    the water, 

    yeah" 

    "Don't 
    go 
    near the 
    water" 

    (Don't go near 
    the 
    water) 

    "Don't go 
    near 
    the water" 

    (Don't go near 
    the 
    water) 

    "Don't 
    go 
    near the water" 
    (Oh, keep 

    on givin' 
    that 
    good 
    thing) 

    "Don't go near 
    the water" 

    (Hey yeah) 

    "Don't go near 
    the water" 
    (Oh) 

    "Don't 
    go near 
    the 
    water"

      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 🙂

      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.
