    and 
    set up

    boozers, 

    they 
    were

    six 
    and he was 

    only 
    getting 
    star
    ted 

    Guzzling 
    down 
    the 
    pints, 

    knockin' 
    em 
    back 
    like 
    candy, 

    He was 
    lookin' 
    alright 
    to be 
    drinkin' 
    all 
    night, 

    then

    your
    self, 

    you 
    wouldn't 
    be
    lieve, 

    And 
    wouldn't 
    trust 
    person 
    like 
    me, 

    if 
    were 
    you 

    wasn't 
    there, 
    I swear

    with 
    Murphy's 
    Millenium 
    Brew 

    He was

    fifteen! 

    You

    have heard 
    a pin 
    drop, 

    then the 
    crowd 
    let 
    out 
    a roar 

    It 
    took five 
    cork 
    wo
    men 
    to 

    lift 
    Johnny 
    off 
    the floor! 

    The

    him over 
    and 
    said you 

    bet
    ter 
    call 
    the 
    hearse: 

    but it's 
    not what 
    you're 
    thinkin' 
    it 
    wasn't 

    the drinkin' 
    this 
    man 
    died 
    of thirst

    Even 
    if 
    you 
    say 
    it 
    your
    self, 

    you 
    wouldn't 
    be
    lieve, 

    And 
    wouldn't 
    trust 
    person 
    like 
    me, 

    if 
    were 
    you 

    wasn't 
    there,

    • 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.
