  • Verse 1
    As 
    I was walking 

    down the street 
    last night 

    A pretty 
    little girl 
    came into sight 

    I bowed 
    and smiled and 

    asked her name 

    She said, "Hold it 
    bud, I don't 

    play 
    that game" 

    I reached 
    in my pocket, and to 

    her big surprise 

    There was Lincoln 
    staring her 

    dead in the eyes 

    Verse 2
    On 
    green
    back, 
    green
    back 
    dollar 
    bill 

    Just 
    a little 
    piece 
    of 
    paper, 

    coated 
    with 
    chlorophyll 

    Verse 3
    She 
    looked 
    at me with 

    that familiar 
    desire 

    Her 
    eyes 
    lit up 
    like they 
    were on 
    fire 

    She 
    said, "My 
    name's Flo, 

    and you're 
    on the right 
    track 

    But look 
    here, daddy, 

    I wear 
    furs 
    on my back 

    So if you 
    want to have 

    fun in 
    this man's 
    land 

    Let 
    Lincoln 
    and Jackson 

    start 
    shaking 
    hands" 

    On a 
    greenback, 
    Verse 4
    greenback 
    dollar 
    bill 

    Just 
    a little 
    piece 
    of 
    paper, 

    coated 
    with 
    chlorophyll 

    Verse 5
    I didn't 
    know 
    what 

    I was getting 
    into 

    But I popped 
    Lincoln 
    and 
    Jackson, 

    too 

    I didn't mind 
    seeing 

    them fade 
    out 
    of sight 

    just 
    knew I'd have 
    some fun 
    last 
    night 

    Whenever 
    you in town 

    and looking 
    for a thrill 

    If 
    Lincoln 
    can't get 
    it, 

    Jackson 
    sure 
    will 

    On a greenback, 
    Verse 6
    greenback 
    dollar 
    bill 

    Just 
    a little 
    piece 
    of paper, 

    coated 
    with 
    chlorophyll 

    Interlude 1



    We went 
    Verse 7
    to a 

    nightspot where the lights 
    were low 

    Dined 
    and danced, 
    and I 
    was 
    ready to 
    go 

    got 
    out of my seat, 

    and when Flo 
    arose 

    She said, 
    "Hold on daddy, 

    while I 
    powder 
    my nose" 

    sat back 
    down 
    with a smil

    ing face 

    While 
    she 
    went down 
    to 

    the powder 
    place 

    With my 
    greenback, 
    Verse 8

    green
    back 
    dollar 
    bill 

    Just 
    a little 
    piece 
    of paper, 

    coated 
    with 
    chlorophyll 

    Verse 9
    The music 
    stopped 

    and the 
    lights 
    came 
    on 

    I looked 
    around 
    and 
    saw I 

    was all 
    alone 

    I didn't 
    know 
    how 
    long 
    Flo 

    had been gone 

    But a 
    nose powder 
    sure 

    didn't take that 
    long 

    I left 
    the place 
    with 
    tears 
    in my 
    eye

    As 
    I waved 
    Lincoln 
    and Jackson 

    a last goodbye 

    On a greenback, 
    Verse 10

    greenback 
    dollar 
    bill 

    Just 
    a little 
    piece 
    of 
    paper, 

    coated 
    with 
    chlorophyll

    • 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.
