  • Verse 1

    Well, 

    Frank 
    settled down 
    in the Val
    ley 

    And 
    he hung 
    his 
    wild 
    years 
    on a nail 

    that he drove 
    through his wife's 
    forehead 

    He sold 
    used office 
    fur
    niture out 

    there on San 
    Fernando 
    Road 

    And as
    sumed a 
    thirty thousand 
    dollar loan 

    at fifteen 
    and a quarter 
    per
    cent 

    And 
    put a down 
    payment on a 

    little two bedroom 
    place 

    His wife 
    was a spent 
    piece 

    of used 
    jet trash 

    Made good 
    bloody Marys, 

    kept 
    her 
    mouth shut 
    most of the time 

    Had a little 
    Chi
    huahua 

    named Carlos 

    That had 
    some 
    kind of skin 
    disease 

    and 
    was totally 
    blind 

    They 
    had a thoroughly 
    mod
    ern kitchen, 

    self- 
    cleaning 
    oven, the 
    whole 
    bit 

    Frank drove 
    little sedan, 

    yhey were so happy 

    One night 
    Frank was 
    on his way 
    home from work, 

    stopped 
    at the liquor 
    store 

    Picked up 
    a couple of 
    Mick

    ey's Big 
    Mouths 

    Drank 
    'em in the car 
    on his way 

    to the 
    Shell station 

    Got 
    a gallon of gas 
    in a can 

    Drove home, 
    doused 
    everything 
    in the house, 

    torched it 

    Parked 
    across the street 
    laughing, 

    watching 
    it burn 

    All Halloween- 
    orange 
    and 
    chimney- 
    red 

    Then Frank put 
    on a top 

    forty sta
    tion 

    Got on the Holly
    wood Freeway, 

    headed north 

    Never 
    could stand 
    that dog

    • 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.
