Now he might act like what I'm bout to say and
C

my words would prob'ly make him sore
D

But I'm just tryin' to be helpful cause I've
G

been down that road before

To bully folks and play mean tricks
C

was once my pride and joy

Till one day I was toted home and mama
G

didn't hardly know her little boy

My head was swelled up so doggone big
C

I couldn't get it through my front door

Now I'm not just talkin' to hear myself

I've been down that road before

A little fellow about my size got
C

tired of being puched about

So he went to work and when he got thru

and he evened up the score

Now that's what happens when

you get too big for your britches

Now when you get to thinkin' you're really smart

there's somebody smarter than you

And no matter how much you boast and brag

Go get you some treatments just like I've

had and you won't hanker for more

I've really learned the meanin'

of livin' and lovin'
G

Cause I've been down that road before

Now the man that walks this rocky road
C
D

usually gets just what he deserves

Cause he's just a helpless servant
G

to a master that he serves

Now I've learned to slow my temper down
C

and not to pick no scraps no more
D

Boys it's a lot easier on the head and eyes cause

I've been down that road before

  • 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.
