    Verse 1
    could have 

    been a 
    gambler 

    'Cause I'm 
    good 
    with the card

    could have 
    been a lover 

    Breakin' 
    other's 
    hearts 

    And I 
    feel 
    so 
    silly 

    Bettin' 
    on the 
    dice 

    And a lover 
    seldom 
    sees 

    The 
    same 
    girl 
    twice 

    And 
    that 
    is 
    why 
    (that is why) 

    That's 
    why 
    I chose 

    (that's why 
    chose) 

    I chose 
    to sing 
    the 
    blues, 
    yes 
    did 

    Now, 
    I could 
    have 
    been a 
    doctor 

    Helping 
    the 
    sick 

    And 
    could 
    have been a 
    lawyer 

    But 
    you know 
    that 
    ain't 
    my 
    stick 

    'Cause 
    I feel 
    so 
    bad 

    If a 
    patient 
    didn't 
    do 
    well 

    And I 
    feel 
    just 
    as 
    bad 

    To 
    leave 
    client 
    in 
    jail 

    An
    d that 
    is 
    why 
    (that is 
    why) 

    That's 
    why 
    chose 

    (that's why I 
    chose) 

    I chose 
    to 
    sing 
    the 
    blues 

    Interlude 1
    [Sax solo] 





    Verse 2
    Now a 
    man 
    has 
    a lot 

    That 
    he could 
    present 

    Just 
    to 
    think 
    could 
    have 
    been 

    President 

    But 
    I can't 
    understand 

    What 
    politicians 
    say 

    So I 
    want 
    to talk 
    to 
    you 

    In 
    my 
    own 
    little 
    way 

    And 
    that 
    is 
    why 
    (that is 
    why) 

    That's 
    why 
    I chose 

    (that's why I 
    chose) 

    I chose 
    to 
    sing 
    the 
    blues 

    Yes 
    did, 
    friends 

    Don't 
    you 
    know 
    what 
    I mean 

    I like 
    what 
    I'm 
    doin' 

    You know, 
    like 
    the 
    blues 

    Everybody 
    understands 

    What 
    mean 
    when 
    say 

    Something 
    like 
    this 
    here 

    Unnnnnnn- hoo 

    Yeah 

    Yeah- 
    hoo 

    That's 
    what 
    I'm 
    talkin' 
    'bout 
    when I 
    sing

    • 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.
