  • Verse 1
    Alright, 

    now 
    let 
    this 
    be 
    a lesson 
    to you 

    Verse 2
    Mama 
    never 
    raised 
    any 
    smart 
    mouth 
    kid 

    She 
    told 
    us 
    once 
    and 
    that 
    was 
    it 

    She 
    said, 
    son 
    sit 
    down, 

    son 
    that's 
    enough 

    Mama 
    really 
    loved 
    us 
    but 
    she sure 
    was 
    tough 

    Could never 
    get 
    away 
    with 

    call
    in' 
    her 
    bluff 

    Verse 3
    You 
    been 
    runnin' 
    all 
    night, 

    chasin' 
    those 
    skirts 

    You 
    ought 
    to 
    be 
    ashamed, 

    late 
    again 
    for 
    work 

    Boy, 
    don't 
    you 
    know 
    you're 

    on 
    the 
    wrong 
    track 

    And 
    throwin' 
    it 
    away, 

    you 
    never 
    get 
    it 
    back 

    Hard 
    lovin' 
    mamas 
    don't 
    cut 
    you 
    no 
    slack 

    But 
    Verse 4
    my 
    old 
    man 
    was 
    little 
    bit 
    more 

    inclined 
    to 
    under
    stand 

    'Cause 
    daddies 
    know, 

    when 
    to 
    hang 
    on 
    and 
    when 
    to 
    let 
    go 

    He 
    said, 
    "Bein' 
    ad
    dicted 

    to love's 
    real 
    bad 
    habit 

    If 
    you 
    can't 
    be 
    good, 
    son, 

    be 
    good 
    at 
    it" 

    Verse 5

    Now 
    mama's 
    still 
    on 
    me 
    'bout 

    wrong 
    and 
    right 

    Hopin' 
    one 
    day 
    might 
    see 
    the 
    light 

    My 
    heart's 
    been 
    broke, 
    I make 
    mistakes 

    I still 
    try 
    to give 
    'em 
    as 
    much 
    as 
    take 

    Now 
    old 
    habits 
    are 
    hard 
    to 
    break 

    Verse 6
    But 
    my 
    old 
    man 
    was 
    little 
    bit 

    more 
    in
    clined 
    to 
    understand 

    'Cause 
    daddies 
    know, 

    now 
    when 
    to 
    hang 
    on 
    and 
    when 
    to 
    let 
    go 

    He said, 
    "Bein' 
    ad
    dicted 

    to 
    love's 
    real 
    bad 
    habit 

    If 
    you 
    can't 
    be 
    good, 
    son, 
    be 
    good 
    at 
    it 

    If 
    you can't 
    be 
    good, 

    be 
    good 
    at 
    it"

    Verse 7
    But 
    my 
    old 
    man 
    was 
    little 
    bit 
    more 

    inclined 
    to

    good, 
    be 
    good 
    at 
    it"

    Well, 
    if 
    you can't 
    be 
    good, 
    be 
    good 
    at 
    it 

    Take 
    that 
    to your 
    old 
    man, 
    son 

    Don't 
    worry about 
    bein' 
    good,

    • 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.
