    • Verse 1
    She walked 
    into 
    this 
    world 
    I made 
    on 
    a 

    Little 
    park 
    bench 
    under 
    the shade 

    Of 
    a 
    sweet 
    gum 
    tree 
    whose 

    leaves 
    were red 
    and 
    brown 

    I 
    looked 
    up 
    and 
    I saw 
    her face 

    That 
    was 
    full 
    of fortitude 
    and grace 

    She said, 
    "If 
    you don't 
    mind, 

    can 
    I please 
    sit 
    down?" 

    See 
    I've 
    been 
    working 

    since 
    the morning 

    When 
    the sun 
    starts 
    settling 
    in 

    That's 
    when 
    I 
    walk 
    across 
    the town 
    to 

    where 
    my 
    second 
    job 
    begin
    s 

    I got 
    two 
    kids 
    I must 
    feed, 

    I've 
    got 
    no time 
    to sit 
    with 
    them 
    and read 

    The coun
    selors 
    keep 
    on 
    telling 
    me 

    my 
    boy's 
    got 
    special 
    need
    s 

    Verse 2
    But 
    don't 
    we 
    all 
    got 
    issues? 

    It's 
    just 
    the stuff 
    we live 
    through 

    Every
    body's 
    got 
    their 
    coffee 
    stains 

    I 
    ain't complaining, 
    I'm 
    just saying 

    Verse 3
    That 
    I 
    ain't been 
    to Harvard 

    And I 
    ain't got 
    no 
    big 
    de
    gree 

    Everything 
    I know, 

    I learned 
    it 
    on these 
    bit
    ter 
    streets 

    And 
    I, 
    can't 
    af
    ford 
    the good 
    life 

    But 
    only 
    real 
    love 
    comes 
    for free 

    And some 
    days 
    my 
    head's 

    up 
    in 
    the clouds 

    But I'm 
    allowed 
    to dream 

    Verse 4

    As 
    she 
    got 
    up 
    and 
    walked 
    away 

    I 
    said, 
    "Goodbye," 
    I 
    gave 
    a wave 

    And 
    watched 
    that 
    lady 

    fade 
    into 
    the 
    crowd 

    An
    d I 
    thought 
    maybe 

    we're 
    the same, 
    hey 

    We 
    both 
    cry 
    and we 
    feel 
    shame 

    And 
    we 
    both 
    know 
    there still 

    some 
    thing
    s 

    We've 
    yet 
    to 
    figure 
    out 

    See 
    I've 
    been 
    writing 
    since 
    the morning 

    When 
    the sun 
    starts 
    settling 
    in 

    I cross 
    the town 
    to check 
    the 
    sound 

    Where 
    my second 
    job 
    begin
    s 

    I've 
    got 
    two 
    kids 
    to feed, 

    some doubts 
    and insec
    urit
    ies 

    I 
    pray 
    that 
    I 
    provide 
    a life 
    for 

    everything 
    they 
    need 

    Verse 5
    But 
    don't

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
