    Verse 1
    live 
    the kinda 

    life 
    most 
    men 
    only 
    dream 
    of 

    make 
    my 
    livin' 
    writ
    in' 
    songs 

    and 
    singin' 
    them 

    But 
    I'm 
    forty-one 
    years 
    years 
    old 
    and I 

    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    place 
    to go 

    When it's over 

    So I 
    hide 
    my 
    age 
    and 
    make 
    the stage 
    and 

    Try 
    to 
    kick 
    the 
    footlights 
    out 
    again 

    Verse 2

    throw 
    my 
    old 
    guitar 
    across 
    the stage 
    and 

    Then 
    my 
    bassman takes 

    the 
    ball 

    And the crowd 
    goes 
    nearly 
    wild 
    to 
    see 

    My 
    guitar 
    nearly 
    fall 

    After 
    twenty 
    years 
    of pickin' 

    we're still 
    alive 

    And 
    kickin' 
    and kickin' down 

    the 
    wall 

    Tonight 
    we'll 
    kick 
    the footlights 
    out 

    And 
    walk away 
    without 
    curtain 
    call 

    Verse 3

    To
    night 
    we'll 
    kick 
    the 

    footlights 
    out 
    again 

    And 
    try 
    to hide 
    the mood 

    we're 
    really 
    in 

    Might not 
    put on 
    our 
    old 

    Instamatic
    grin 

    Tonight 
    we'll 
    kick 
    the 
    footlights 

    Interlude 1
    out 
    again 




    Verse 4
    live 
    the kinda 
    life 
    most 
    men 

    only 
    dream 
    of 

    And I make 
    my 
    livin' 
    writ
    in' 

    songs 
    and 
    singin' 
    them 

    But 
    I'm 
    fortysome years 
    old 
    and I 

    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    place 
    to go 

    When it's 
    over 

    So 
    hide 
    my age 
    and 
    make 
    the stage 
    and 

    Try 
    to 
    kick 
    the 
    footlights 
    out 
    again

    • 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.
