Intro 1
G
C
G
Way down,
Verse 1
C
way far underground
G
We got started at the bottom
of the basement
We didn't stretch to come to a sound
We'd just play until we found
the proper placement
C
And it was all right
G
It was just the way we used to do it
C
D
But now the times have changed
F
and all the questions too
C
F
G
C
G
Like why bother to pursue it
Verse 2
G
For far too many, many years
I'd ask myself the same
C
G
thing everyday
C
What do I want and where should I do
G
C
Is playing music just leading me astray
G
I didn't think so
D
And all my sisters convinced me
C
that I should keep it up
Because it was embedded
G
in my blood type, oh
Verse 3
G
C
G
All that we needed was four tracks
and maybe some paint fumes
And the desire for creation was away
It always sounded good,
and we knew it would
We never dreamed that
one day it would pay
C
And now we're slowly waking up
G
I had the strangest dream
C
D
I was drowning in a flooded studio
C
coiled in cables and inputs
And I was coming apart at
Interlude 1
the seams
C
G
C
G
D
Forty tracks
Verse 4
G
Forty mikes
Turn up the heaters and fire
C
up the floodlights
F
Because we're going to be
C
G
here for a long time
D
But this place feels right
because this is our space
C
F
And we can do what we want when we
G
need it and it's on our own dime
Verse 5
G
Gm
And now I'm raising up a
G
ballet boy and a hockey girl
And I've a wife that I really love
Truly, dearly, completely,
and hopefully so
Somebody's watching over from above
C
Just who, I can't say
F
C
G
I try to rationalize it in my own way
D
These are the reasons that you do what
C
you do and I can be satisfied
With a life of less work and
G
C
G
C
G
more play
Poor me

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.”
