  • Verse 1
    Things 

    learned 

    in 
    a hobo 
    jungle 

    Were things 
    they 
    never 
    taught 

    me 
    in 
    a class 
    room 

    Like 
    where 
    to find 
    a hand 
    out 

    While 
    bummin' 
    through 
    Chica

    go 
    in 
    the 
    afternoon 

    Verse 2
    Hey, 
    I'm not 
    braggin' 
    or 
    complainin' 

    I'm 
    just 
    talkin' 
    to myself 
    man- 

    to- man 

    This 
    ol' 
    mental 
    fat

    Verse 3

    guess 
    grew 
    up 
    a loner 

    don't 
    remember 
    ever

    any 
    folks 
    around 

    But 
    I keep 
    thumbin'

    And 
    looking 
    for 
    my 
    daddy's 

    name 
    in 
    every 
    town 

    And 
    I meet 
    Verse 4
    lots 
    of friendly 
    people 

    But 
    I'll 
    always 
    wind 
    up 
    leavin' 

    on 
    the lam 

    Hey,

    I'm 
    goin' 

    Didn't

    But 
    I take 
    a lot 
    of pride 
    in 
    what 
    I am 

    Verse 5

    I never 
    travel 
    in 
    a hurry 

    Because 
    I got 
    nobody 
    waitin' 

    for 
    me 
    anywhere 

    Home 
    is 
    anywhere 
    I'm 
    livin' 

    If 
    it's sleepin' 
    on 
    some 
    va

    cant 
    bench 
    in 
    City 
    Square 

    Or 
    if 
    I'm 
    Verse 6
    workin' 
    on 
    some 
    road 
    gang 

    Or just 
    livin' 
    off 
    the fat 
    of 

    our 
    great 
    land 

    never 
    been 
    nobody's 
    idol 
    but 

    at least

    • 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.
