    • Verse 1
    The 
    devil 
    works 
    with idle 
    hands, 

    well 
    these 
    hands? 
    They're 
    a strumming 

    (But) heaven 
    sure 
    had 
    different 
    plans 

    cuz 
    the 
    devil? 
    He's 
    still-a-coming 

    (He) 
    told 
    told 
    me 
    I could 
    be 
    a six-string 
    picker, 

    picker, 
    lighting 
    any 
    stadi
    um 
    on fire 

    He 
    said 
    it was 
    free 
    under 
    one 
    condition: "I take 

    your life 
    in 
    three 
    years' time" 

    Oh 
    no 

    "I take 
    your life 
    in 
    three 

    years' time" 

    At 
    the stroke 
    of twelve 
    I turn 
    24 that's 

    when 
    I 
    gotta 
    make 
    my 
    decision 

    Do 
    I 
    go 
    to hell 
    and burn 
    my soul 
    for 

    three 
    years 
    of 
    singing 
    and picking? 

    Well, 
    momma 
    told 
    me 
    to watch 
    myself, 

    pay 
    at
    tention 
    and 
    keep my 
    head 
    on 
    a swivel 

    But 
    I 
    promised 
    her 
    that 
    I'd help 
    us 
    so the 
    ink 

    is dry 
    and 
    my fingers 
    are itching 
    like 

    My 
    fin
    gers 
    are itching 
    like 

    Well 
    name 
    a stage, 
    you 
    bet 
    I've played 
    it 
    and 

    raised 
    the roof 
    and 
    brought 
    the house 
    Down 

    (And) made 
    it rain, 
    turned 
    strings 
    to flames 

    but 
    I 
    hate 
    to say 
    it's 
    my 
    final 
    countdown 

    Before 
    I go 
    let 
    momma 
    know 
    that 

    she 
    owns 
    my 
    bank 
    account 
    now 

    I 
    built 
    a home 
    from 
    solid 
    gold, 

    she 
    ain't 
    got 
    nothing 
    to 
    worry 
    about 
    now 

    Oh 
    no 

    She 
    ain't 
    got 
    nothing 
    to 

    worry 
    about 
    now 

    Oh 
    no 

    Before 
    I know 
    three 
    years 
    is gone, 

    turned 
    27 at 
    the cross
    roads 

    Lord, 
    I know 
    the deal 
    is done 
    cuz that 
    dirty 

    bloody 
    devil 
    he came-a-knockin

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
