    Well, 

    I might 
    have been 
    monarch 

    in 
    another 
    life 

    Or 
    an 
    Indian 
    chief 

    with 
    Po
    cahontas 
    for 
    wife 

    May
    be 
    CEO 
    or 
    captain 
    of 
    team 

    But 
    on 
    this 
    day, 
    like 
    Kennedy, 

    I was 
    living 
    an 
    American 
    dream. 

    Well, 
    could 
    have 
    been 

    born 
    baron 
    or 
    a czar, 

    but 
    in
    stead 
    was 
    dead 
    with 

    an 
    acoustic 
    guitar. 

    Dressed 
    up 
    as a 
    man 
    from 
    Graceland 

    for 
    party 
    went 
    to, 

    but I 
    wished 
    was incognito 

    and 
    alive 
    in Kalamazoo. 

    Well 
    some 
    say 
    it's 
    good 
    to be 
    the 
    king 

    But 
    I'm here 
    to 
    tell 
    you 
    it 
    ain't 

    In 
    a world 
    of 
    sinners 

    it's 
    too 
    hard 
    to 
    be 
    saint 

    I'd 
    rather 
    be 
    con 
    in 
    some 

    other 
    guy's 
    game 

    Had 
    my 
    chance 
    on 
    the throne 

    but 
    what 
    royal 
    pain 

    Feel
    ing 
    like 
    a fool 
    was 
    the 
    price 
    paid 

    To 
    be 
    king 
    for 
    day 

    Well 
    was 
    kicking 
    it 
    old 
    school 
    circa 
    76 

    Saying 
    thank 
    you very 
    much 

    and 
    playing 
    some 
    Scotty 
    Licks 

    White 
    jumpsuit, 
    huge 
    collar, 

    lamb 
    chops, 
    sideburns 
    too 

    Posing 
    for 
    pics 
    with 
    old 
    ladies 

    for 
    an 
    en
    tire 
    afternoon 

    My 
    blood 
    was 
    blue, 

    but 
    all 
    I could 
    do 
    was 
    frown 

    wore 
    no 
    crown, 
    felt 
    like 
    big 
    fat 
    clown 

    You 
    could say 
    that 
    I ruled, 

    but all 
    I wanted 
    to 
    do 
    was 
    live 

    swore 
    I'd 
    be 
    happier 

    without 
    penny 
    to 
    give 

    Well 
    some 
    say 
    it's 
    good 
    to be 
    the 
    king, 

    but 
    I'm here 
    to 
    tell 
    you 
    it 
    ain't 

    In 
    world 
    of 
    sinners, 

    it's 
    too 
    hard 
    to 
    be 
    saint 

    I'd 
    rather 
    be 
    pawn 
    in 
    some 

    other 
    guy's 
    game 

    Had 
    my 
    chance 
    on 
    the 
    throne, 

    but 
    what 
    royal 
    pain 

    Feel
    in' 
    like a 
    fool 
    was 
    the 
    price 
    paid 

    To 
    be 
    king 
    for 
    day 

    just 
    wanted 
    to 
    have 
    costume 

    so 
    could drink 
    and fit 
    in 

    but 
    people 
    wouldn't 
    leave 
    me 
    alone 

    they 
    thought 
    that 
    I was 
    him 
    so 

    I did 
    the 
    thing 
    with 
    my 
    lip 

    and 
    swiveled 
    my 
    hips 

    sang 
    the 
    songs 
    and 

    even 
    got 
    some 
    tips 

    but 
    there 
    was 
    too 
    much 
    attention 

    the 
    pressure 
    gave 
    me 
    the 
    blues 

    you 
    don't know 
    what 
    it's 

    Till 
    you've stepped 
    in 
    his 

    blue 
    suede 
    shoes 

    Some 
    say 
    it's 
    good 
    to be 
    the 
    king 

    But 
    I'm here 
    to 
    tell 
    you 
    it 
    ain't 

    In 
    a world 
    of 
    sinners 

    It's 
    too 
    hard 
    to 
    be 
    saint 

    I'd 
    rather 
    be 
    pawn 

    In 
    some 
    oth
    er 
    guy's 
    game 

    Had 
    my 
    chance 
    on 
    the 
    throne 

    But 
    what 
    royal 
    pain 

    Feel
    ing 
    like 
    fool 

    Was 
    the 
    price 
    paid 

    To 
    be 
    king 
    for 
    day 

    So 
    take 
    it 
    from 
    me 

    It's 
    not 
    even 
    worth 

    15 
    minutes 
    of 
    fame 

    To 
    be 
    king 
    for 
    day

    • 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.
