    Karen, 

    she's 
    my

    I come 
    in 
    late 
    from 
    Brooklyn 

    on 
    the 
    F

    Karen 
    says 
    "honey, 

    make 
    this 
    your 
    last 
    time" 

    But 
    we 
    like 
    her, 

    she's 
    firm 
    but 
    approach
    able 

    Dresses 
    in 
    style, 
    pretty 
    conservative 

    We 
    ask 
    her, 
    "hey,

    out 
    with 
    us 
    af

    gine 
    she 
    must

    a 
    very 
    dull 
    life 

    With 
    just 
    a cat 
    and a 
    book 

    by 
    her 
    side 

    We know 
    her by 
    day 
    but 

    we 
    don't 
    know 

    Karen 
    by 
    night 


    Verse 3
    In 
    the stock
    room 
    searching 
    for 
    a 
    9B 

    I 
    overheard 
    Kar
    en 
    whis
    per 
    on 
    the phone 

    She 
    said, 
    "Meet 
    me at 
    the club 

    There's a shipment 
    coming 
    in 

    And I can
    't 
    pull 
    this 
    one 
    off 
    alone" 

    Well, I 
    didn't 
    know 
    what 
    to 
    think 

    Was 
    my 
    mind 
    playing 
    trick
    s? 

    Was 
    there 
    more 
    to 
    this 

    Kar
    en 
    then 
    realized? 

    I 
    had 
    to 
    know 
    so 
    I 
    followed 
    her 
    home 

    I 
    could 
    not 
    believe 
    my 
    eyes 

    And 
    then 
    I 
    saw 
    Karen 
    Verse 4

    by 
    night 

    The 
    leather 
    comes 
    out 

    under 
    the 
    moonlight 

    Takes 
    off 
    her Chanel 
    an
    d 

    hops 
    on 
    her 
    bike 

    Looking 
    like 
    young 
    Marlon 
    Brando 

    Karen 
    by 
    night 

    Verse 5

    Saw 
    her leaning 
    on 
    the 
    bar 

    with 
    a drink 
    in 
    hand 

    And 
    a cigarette 
    dangling 

    from 
    her bright 
    red 
    lips 

    She 
    looked 
    like 
    she 
    was 

    looking 
    for 
    someone 

    Like she 
    was 
    looking 
    for 
    a 
    fight 

    Then a 
    young 
    blonde 
    buck 

    walked 
    in 

    She grabbed 
    him by 
    the 
    collar 

    Kissed 
    him hard 
    on the 
    mouth 

    And slapped 
    him on 
    the cheek 

    Then 
    I 
    thought 
    she 
    spied 

    me in the 
    corner 
    of her 
    eye 

    So 
    I ran 
    outside, 

    but 
    all 
    night 
    all 
    I 
    could 
    think 
    about 
    was

    Karen's 
    there 
    fresh 
    as

    She 
    says 
    with 
    a smile, 
    "You 
    look 
    like 
    hell 

    And 
    where 
    were 
    you 
    last 
    night?"

      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.
