    ["Green 

    Give 
    me the 
    green 
    light, 
    baby 

    It's 
    been red 
    long 
    enough 

    Give 
    me the green 
    light, 
    baby 

    So 
    I 
    can 
    show 
    you 
    my 
    stuff 

    My 
    brakes 
    are slipping 

    And 
    the 
    motor 
    is 
    running 
    hot 

    I give 
    you a 
    super 
    ride, 
    mama 

    And 
    you say 
    thanks 
    a 
    lot 

    Give 
    me the 
    green light, 
    baby 

    It's 
    been red 
    long 
    enough 

    Give 
    me the 
    green 
    light, 
    mama 

    So 
    I 
    can 
    show 
    you 
    my 
    stuff 

    You 
    better 
    brace 
    yourself 

    When 
    I shift 
    my 
    gear 

    Let 
    me 
    show 
    you, 
    mama 

    What 
    I've 
    learned 
    through 
    the 
    years 

    I 
    don't 
    need 
    a 
    speed 
    limit, 

    no 
    fuel 
    shortage 
    for us 

    You 
    may 
    think 
    I'm 
    a 

    UFO, 
    the 
    way 
    I do 
    my 
    stuff 

    Give 
    me the 
    green light, 
    baby, 

    it's 
    been red 
    long 
    enough 

    Give 
    me 
    the 
    green 
    light, 
    mama, 

    so I 
    can 
    show 
    you 
    my 
    stuff 

    See, 
    I 
    don't do 
    shotgun 
    driving, 

    girl, 
    I 
    be 
    good 

    I 
    may walk 
    and 
    talk and 
    break 
    a few 
    codes, 

    but baby, 
    I 
    don't 
    play 

    I 
    don't 
    need 
    a speed 
    limit, 

    no 
    fuel 
    shortage 
    for 
    us 

    You 
    may 
    think 
    I'm 
    a 

    UFO, 
    but 
    the way 
    I do 
    my 
    stuff 

    Give 
    me the 
    green 
    light, 
    mama, 

    so 
    we 
    can get 
    underway 

    Give 
    me the 
    green 
    light, 
    baby,

    I'll 
    love

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
