    Verse 1

    Mother, 

    last 
    night 
    I shot 
    famous 
    man 

    His 
    music, 
    his 
    life, 

    was his 
    greatest 
    fan 

    Mother, 
    I'm 
    sorry 
    for 
    all the 
    things 

    that I 
    did 

    I've 
    been 
    hiding 
    it 
    all 
    of my 
    life, 

    should've 
    kept 
    it 
    still 
    hid 

    Should've 
    kept 
    it still 
    hid 


    Verse 2
    Mother, 
    last 
    night 
    I shot 

    a famous 
    man 

    Ain't it 
    funny 
    the things 
    a man 
    does 

    'cause he 
    knows 
    that 
    he can

    When 
    raise 
    my 
    voice, 

    it's 
    a small 
    feeble 
    sound 
    in 
    the 
    wind 

    To make 
    yourself 
    heard 
    in this 
    big 
    bad 
    world, 

    you 
    must know 
    where 
    to be
    gin 

    You must 
    know 
    where 
    to be
    gin 

    Verse 3

    Mother, 
    last 
    night 
    I shot 

    famous 
    man 

    But 
    today 
    I can't 
    say 
    it 
    all went 

    according 
    to plan 

    He 
    just 
    looked 
    at me, 

    he stared 
    me 
    straight 
    in the 
    eye

    Now 
    I know 
    how 
    he felt 

    every 
    day 
    til 
    he 
    died 

    Every 
    day 
    til he 
    died 


    Verse 4
    Mother, 
    well 
    now 
    people 

    listen 
    to me 

    I'm 
    the King 
    of America, 

    some 
    say that 
    I'm 
    the King 
    of 
    Comedy 

    Mother, 
    now 
    that I 
    know 
    what 
    it 

    means 
    to 
    be heard 

    I wish 
    put 
    down 
    my gun, 

    like he 
    put 
    down 
    his guitar 

    And 
    I wish 
    that I'd 
    swallowed 
    my 
    word

    Wished 
    I'd 
    swallowed 
    my 
    words 


    Verse 5
    Mother, 
    knew 
    him, 

    but he 
    never 
    knew 
    me

    • 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.
