    • Verse 1
    Like 
    a 

    leaf 
    caught in the 
    wind 

    He 
    drifted 
    a while 

    With no 
    purpose 
    or 
    direc

    tion 
    to his 
    life 

    He tried 
    to 
    get 
    himself 

    togeth
    er 

    And pacify 
    his mind 

    And forget 
    about 
    the things 
    he 
    left 
    behind 

    Verse 2
    The cryin' 
    woman 

    Standing 
    helpless 
    in 
    his 
    door 

    With a 
    two 
    month 
    old 
    baby- 

    why 
    in 
    her 
    arms 

    His 
    little 
    black 
    book 

    Laying torn 
    up 
    on 
    the floor 

    And 
    God 
    only knows 
    he never 

    meant 
    to do 
    her 
    wrong 

    Verse 3
    A 
    careless 
    weekend 
    on the 

    other 
    side 
    of town 

    Has 
    torn the 
    King 
    of 
    Oak Street's 

    Castle 
    down 

    And 
    all week 
    long 
    he's 

    tried 
    to ca- 
    all 
    her 

    But she 
    won't 
    let 
    him 
    ex
    plain 

    Now Sunday 
    morning 
    finds 

    him walking 
    i- 
    in the 
    rain 

    Verse 4
    He sits 
    down 
    in a 
    phone 
    booth 

    and 
    he 
    prays 

    That she'll 
    for
    give 
    him 

    And she'll 
    be
    lieve 
    he's 
    changed 

    his 
    ways 

    With shaking 
    hand 

    He deposits 
    hi- 
    is 
    last 
    dime 

    And 
    he's 
    still 
    praying 
    that she 
    won't 
    hang 

    you- up 
    this 
    time 

    Verse 5
    Then the sweetest 
    voice 
    he's ever 

    heard 
    says 
    hello 

    Breakfast's 
    a- almost 
    ready 
    baby- 
    why, 

    come 
    on 
    home 

    I've 
    thought 
    the whole 

    thing 
    over 

    And I think 
    I 
    understand 

    That the 
    King of 
    Oak Street 

    is just 
    an 
    ordinary 
    man 

    Verse 6
    I- 
    I've 
    thought 
    the whole 

    thing 
    over 

    And I think 
    I 
    under
    stand 

    That the 
    King 
    of Oak 
    Street 
    is 

    just 
    an 
    ordinary 
    man...

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
