  • Verse 1
    My 
    mama

    me,

    since 
    I was 
    seven, 

    Hold 
    your 
    head 
    up 
    high. 

    My 
    parents 
    told 
    my 

    Ever 
    since 
    was 
    eleven, 

    "Hold 
    your 
    head 
    up 
    high." 

    They 
    said 
    the 
    answer 

    Was 
    to 
    become 
    dancer, 

    Hold 
    your 
    head 
    high. 

    Oh, 
    just 
    like 
    figured, 

    They're 
    always 
    disfigured

    much 
    bolder 

    With 
    my 
    head 
    up 
    high 

    Oh, 
    as 
    figured, 

    Just 
    like 
    figured 

    Since

    high,

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Ever 
    since 
    was 
    a baby 

    On 
    my mama's 
    knee, 

    Oh, 
    just 
    listened 
    to 
    what 

    Every
    body 
    told 
    me, 

    Oh 
    yes 
    I did. 

    But 
    still 
    the 
    answer 

    Was 
    to be
    come 
    a dancer, 

    And 
    hold 
    your 
    head 
    high, 

    But, just 
    like 
    figured, 

    They're 
    always 
    disfigured, 

    They 
    hold 
    their 
    heads 
    up 
    high,

    Watch 
    out! 


    Do 
    the dog! 
    Oh, 

    watch 
    out! 



    And 
    now 
    I'm 
    older, 

    They say 
    I'm so 
    much 
    bolder 

    Got 
    your 
    head 
    up 
    high. 

    Oh, 
    and the

    was, 

    Hey, 
    to 
    become 
    a dancer, 

    Head 
    up 
    high.

    just 
    like 
    figured, 

    They're 
    always 
    disfigured 

    They 
    got 
    their 
    heads 
    up 
    high. 

    But 
    the 
    answer 
    was, 
    now, 

    Boy, 
    to become 
    dancer 

    With 
    your 
    head 
    up 
    high 

    Verse 5
    Head 
    up 

    high,

    • 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.
