    Verse 1
    come 
    fresh 
    from 
    the street 

    Fast 
    on 
    my feet, 
    kinda 
    lean 
    and 
    lazy 

    Not 
    much 
    meat 
    on 
    my 
    bones 

    And 
    whole 
    lot 
    alone, 

    more 
    than 
    a little 
    bit 
    crazy 

    Verse 2
    And 
    the 
    old 
    six- 
    string, 
    was 
    all 
    had 

    To 
    keep 
    my 
    belly 
    still 

    And 
    for 
    each 
    full 
    hour 
    lesson 
    I gave 

    got 
    a crisp, 
    ten 
    dollar 
    bill 

    Verse 3

    You 
    see, 
    she 
    was 

    married 
    for 
    seven 
    years 

    To 
    concrete 
    castle 
    king 

    She said, 
    she 
    wanted 
    to learn 

    to play 
    the 
    guitar 

    And 
    to 
    hear 
    her 
    chil
    dren 
    sing 

    Verse 4
    So, 
    I'd 
    show 
    up 
    about 
    once 
    week 

    In 
    my 
    faded 
    tight- 
    legged 
    jeans 

    With 
    backlog 
    full 
    of 
    hobo 
    stories 

    And 
    dilapidated 
    dreams 

    Verse 5

    She said, 
    "I 
    wanna 
    learn 
    love 
    song 

    Full 
    of 
    happy 
    things" 

    She said, 
    "I 
    wannalearn a 
    love 
    song 

    Won't 
    you 
    let 
    me 
    hear 
    you sing?" 

    Verse 6

    She said, 
    "I 
    wanna 
    learn 

    love 
    song 

    Wanna 
    hear 
    you 
    play" 

    She said, 
    "I, 
    I wanna 
    learn 
    love 
    song 

    Be
    fore 
    you 
    go away" 

    Verse 7

    So, 
    I tried 
    to teach 
    her 
    a couple 
    of chords 

    And 
    an 
    easy 
    melody 

    But 
    it 
    always 
    turned 
    out, 

    she'd 
    rather 
    listen 

    To my 
    guitar 
    and 
    me 

    Verse 8
    could 
    hear 
    her 
    old 
    man 

    laughin' 
    in 
    the den 

    Playin' 
    stud 
    poker 
    with 
    the boys 

    While 
    I sang 
    so 
    soft 
    in 
    the 
    living 
    room 

    Too 
    scared 
    to make 
    much 
    noise 

    Verse 9
    I came 
    one 
    week 
    and 
    the 
    den 
    was 
    dark 

    And 
    she 
    met 
    me 
    at 
    the 
    door 

    And 
    we 
    sat 
    on 
    the couch 

    and 
    we sang 
    and 
    talked 

    'Til 
    I could 
    not 
    sing 
    no 
    more 

    Verse 10
    You 
    know, 
    the silence 
    kept 
    on 
    buildin' 

    And 
    her 
    eyes 
    grew 
    much 
    too 
    wide 

    could 
    hear 
    both 
    of 
    our 
    heartbeats 

    But 
    there 
    was 
    no 
    place 
    to 
    hide 

    Verse 11
    She said, 
    "I 
    wanna 
    learn 
    a love 
    song 

    Full 
    of 
    happy 
    things" 

    She 
    said, 
    "I 
    wanna 
    learn 
    love 
    song 

    Won't 
    you 
    let 
    me 
    hear 
    you sing?" 

    Verse 12

    She said, 
    "I 
    wanna 
    learn 

    love 
    song 

    Wanna 
    hear 
    you 
    play" 

    She said, 
    "I 
    wanna 
    learn 
    love 
    song 

    Be
    fore 
    you 
    go 
    away"

    • 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.
