    I've 
    held 

    It 
    pays 
    my 
    way, 
    and 
    it 
    cor
    rodes 
    my

    want 
    to 
    leave,

    cen
    tury

    I 
    want

    Interlude 1
    Mr. 
    Shankly 










    Bridge 1
    Fame, 
    fame, 
    fatal 
    fame 

    It 
    can 
    play 
    hideous 
    tricks 
    on 
    the 
    brain 

    But 
    still 
    I'd 
    rather 
    be 
    famous 

    Than 
    righteous 
    or 
    holy 

    Any 
    day, 
    any 
    day, 
    any 
    day 

    Bridge 2
    But 
    sometimes 
    I 
    feel 
    more 
    ful
    filled 

    Making 
    Christmas 
    cards 

    with 
    the 
    mentally 
    ill 

    I 
    want 
    to 
    live 
    and 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    love 

    I 
    want 
    to 
    catch 
    something 

    that 
    I 
    might 
    be 
    a
    shamed 
    of 

    Verse 3
    Frankly, 
    Mr. 
    Shankly, 

    this 
    po
    sition 
    I've 
    held 

    It 
    pays 
    my 
    way, 
    and 
    it 
    cor
    rodes 
    my 
    soul 

    Oh, 
    I 
    didn't 
    realise 

    that 
    you 
    wrote 
    poetry 

    I 
    didn't 
    realise 
    you 
    wrote 

    such 
    bloody 
    awful 
    poetry, 
    Mr. 
    Shankly 

    Verse 4
    Frankly, 
    Mr. 
    Shankly, 
    since 
    you 
    ask 

    You 
    are 
    a 
    flatulent 
    pain 
    in 
    the 
    ass 

    I 
    do 
    not 
    mean 
    to 
    be 
    so 
    rude 

    Still, 
    I 
    must 
    speak 
    frankly, 
    Mr. 
    Shankly 

    Oh, 
    give 
    us 
    your 
    money

    • 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.”
