He goes upstairs,
he comes back down
He said, "You know what?
You know, she a little funny"
I said, "Yeah, and you funny, too;
everybody's funny
When you ain't got no money,
when you run out of money
Verse 9
Everybody's funny wit' ya"
Dm
Then I go back towards the streets,
you know, back to old landlady
I go fool her, you know,
to get my clothes out of the house
I said, "Hey"
She said, "What?"
"I got a job"
She said, "Yeah, yeah,
sho'nuff, sho'nuff, yeah
Verse 10
When you start the work?"
Dm
I said, "Oh baby, I start tomorrow"
She said, "Oh yeah? You hungry?"
I said, "Yeah"
She goes to the store, you know
I rush upstairs to get my clothes out,
she talkin' 'bout the front rent
She'll get nothin',
she'll get the back rent and will get none of it

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
