    Spend
    ing 
    my 
    Verse 1

    life 
    in a 
    cold 
    hard 
    bar-room 

    Drinking 
    Drinking 
    that 
    long 
    black 
    whisky 
    down 

    I 
    play 
    the guitar, 
    for 
    me it's 
    a living 

    Well, 
    I know, 
    just a hanging-around 

    Dancing 
    Dancing 
    girls, oh, 

    they drive 
    me 
    crazy 

    All 
    they 
    want 
    is 
    a 
    fancy 
    name 

    Don't you know 
    is 
    I might 
    not make 
    it 

    That's 
    the fate 
    of a fool 

    and 
    a guitar 
    man 

    Yeah, 
    been down 
    to 
    the palace 

    of pleasure 

    Honky-tonk, 

    where 
    where 
    I come 
    from 

    Smoke's 
    so 
    thick 
    I can't 
    imagine 

    Wine 
    flows 
    fast 
    by the 
    rule of a 
    gun 

    One 
    of these 
    mornings 
    it'll 

    come 
    up Sunday 

    I won't 
    have 
    a good 
    time 
    again 

    That 
    time 
    ain't now, 

    it's a 
    whole new 
    dream 

    That's 
    the fate 
    of a fool 
    and a guitar 

    man 



    One more 
    night, 
    one 
    more dollar 

    One 
    more song, 
    can 
    you do 
    it again 

    I 
    don't know, 
    I may not 
    make 
    it 

    That's 
    the fate 
    of a fool 

    and 
    a guitar 
    man 

    That's 
    the fate 
    of a fool 

    Outro 1
    and 
    a guitar 
    man

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.
