    Verse 1
    My 
    best 
    friend 

    lived 
    in 
    this 
    house 

    And 
    we 
    played 
    ball 
    in 
    the street 

    after 
    school 

    God 
    knows 
    how 
    he's 
    living 
    now 

    head 
    his 
    mom 
    lost 
    the 
    house 

    and 
    had 
    to 
    move 

    And sure, 
    it's 
    looking 
    better 
    these 
    days 

    Well 
    it's 
    hard 
    to 
    believe 

    And 
    this 
    ain't 
    the 
    way 

    it 
    was 
    back 
    in 
    1993 

    Verse 2
    And 
    those 
    weren't 
    better 
    days 

    But 
    they still 
    meant 
    something 
    mean 

    When 
    we 
    was 
    kids 
    out 
    in the 

    street

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    Now 
    there 
    was 
    mar
    ket 
    on 
    the 
    corner, 

    it 
    was 
    next 
    to 
    the 
    car 
    wash 

    And 
    lazy 
    weeping 
    wil
    low 
    across 

    the 
    street 
    in 
    the light 

    Where 
    the 
    old 
    men 
    played 
    dom
    inoes 

    on 
    those 
    hot 
    summer 
    days 

    Sweatin' 
    the 
    Wild 
    Irish 
    Rose 

    out 
    in 
    the 
    shade 

    And 
    from 
    Wedgewood 

    to Granny 
    White 

    Oh, and, 
    Belmont 
    to 
    8th 

    All 
    these 
    songs 
    was 
    broke 
    into 

    host 
    of 
    sights 
    and 
    shapes 

    Verse 4
    And that 
    was 
    lower- 
    end 
    livin' 

    Back 
    when 
    life 
    was cheap 

    When 
    we 
    was 
    kid
    s out 
    in 
    the street


    Interlude 2


    Verse 5
    Now 
    it's 
    gone, 

    blown 
    on 
    a lonely 
    wind 
    of change 

    Now 
    feel 
    like 
    mis
    it most 

    Just 
    'cause 
    I never 
    thought 

    that 
    it 
    could 
    change 

    So 
    hear 
    things 
    are 
    moving 
    west 

    these 
    days 

    Same 
    old 
    cut 
    and 
    past
    ing, 

    just 
    filling 
    the 
    blank

    Standing 
    here 
    right 
    now, 

    though 
    it 
    brings 
    lot 
    of 
    pain 

    smile 
    when 
    I think, 
    yesterday 

    Verse 6
    Back 
    when 
    life 
    was 
    something 

    Like 
    1, 2, 3 

    When 
    we 
    was 
    kid
    s out 
    in

    • 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.
