    I 
    give 
    up, 
    I 
    give 
    up, 

    I 
    tried 
    real 
    hard 
    but 
    now I 
    give 
    up 

    Now 
    the 
    sweat's 
    run 
    down 

    to 
    my 
    sock
    s 

    Nothing 
    left 
    but 
    a box 
    in the 
    ground 

    No 
    one's 
    immune 
    to burglary, 
    when 
    you 
    stole 
    my 
    heart, 

    I 
    was 
    turned 
    at 
    first, 
    but 
    then I 
    real
    ized 
    I 
    was 
    dying 
    of 
    thirst. 

    In 
    the desert 
    of 
    love 

    Like 
    a troop
    er 
    with 

    super 
    -duper 
    patience 

    I 
    waited 
    until 
    everything 

    had dried 
    up 
    in my 
    woody 
    well 

    And 
    it's 
    been 
    hell, 
    be
    lieve 
    me 
    that 

    A 
    farmer 
    in 
    the 
    dale, 

    plagued by 
    a 
    bat 

    An
    d 
    your mysterious 
    smile 
    magnifi
    cently 
    re

    created 
    in 
    my 
    mind 
    for 
    quite 
    some 
    time. 

    And 
    I 
    hung 
    on, 
    hop
    ing 
    for 
    a 
    mir
    ror 
    or 
    a 
    medal 
    for 
    my 
    emotional 
    bravery, 

    just 
    like 

    Davy 

    Crockett 

    Empty 
    out 
    of 
    room 

    When 
    that bullet 
    hit 
    him 

    He 
    knew he 
    had 
    to go 

    So, 
    I 
    give 
    up 

    I 
    give 
    up 

    I 
    tried 
    real 
    hard 

    But 
    now 
    I can't 
    find

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
