    Well, 
    she 
    was 
    Verse 1
    standing 
    by 

    my 
    dressing 
    room 
    after 
    the 
    show 

    Asking 
    for 
    my 
    autograph 
    and 

    asked 
    if 
    she 
    could go 

    Back 
    to 
    my 
    motel 
    room. 
    But 
    the 

    rest 
    is 
    just 
    tragic 
    tale 

    Because 
    five 
    short 
    minutes 
    of 
    lovin' 

    Done 
    brought 
    me twenty 

    long 
    years 
    in 
    jail 

    Verse 2

    Well, 
    like 
    fool 
    in 
    hurry

    my 
    room 

    She casted 
    me 
    in plaster 

    while 
    I sang 
    her 
    a tune 

    Then 
    said, 
    "Oo
    h, 

    ooee!" Sure 
    was a tragic 
    tale 

    Because 
    five 
    short 
    minutes 
    of 
    lovin' 

    Done 
    brought 
    me twenty 

    long 
    years 
    in 
    jail 

    Verse 3

    Well, 
    then 
    judge 
    and 
    jury 

    sat 
    me 
    in 
    a room 

    They say 
    that 
    robbin' 
    the 
    cradle 
    is 

    worse 
    than 
    robbin' 
    the tomb 

    Then 
    said 
    "Ooh, 

    ooee!" Sure 
    was a tragic 
    tale 

    (Wasn't worth 
    it, 

    wasn't 
    worth 
    it!) 

    Because 
    five 
    short 
    minutes 
    of 
    lovin' 

    Done 
    brought 
    me 
    twenty 
    long 

    years 
    in 
    jail

    when

    out 
    of 

    this 
    prison 
    gonna 
    be 
    forty-five 

    I'll 
    I'll 
    know 
    used 
    to like 
    to 
    do 
    it but 

    won't 
    remember 
    why 

    (Wasn't worth 
    it, 

    wasn't 
    worth 
    it!) 

    I'll say "Ooh, 

    ooee! Sure 
    was 
    tragic 
    tale 

    Because 
    five 
    short 
    minutes 
    of 
    lovin' 

    Done 
    brought 
    me 
    twenty 

    long 
    years 
    in 
    jail 

    Verse 5

    Because 
    five 
    short 
    minutes 
    of 
    lovin' 

    Done

    • 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.
