  • Verse 1
    Oh 

    Shirley, 
    love 
    you. 

    You 
    must 
    believe 
    do. 

    Cause 

    Shirley, 
    need 
    to 
    have 
    and 

    hold 
    the 
    both 
    of 
    you. 

    Well, 
    I'm 
    writing 
    this 
    from 

    the hotel 
    downtown. 

    I'm 
    sure you remember 
    the 
    place. 

    You see, 
    I came back 
    into 
    town to 

    see our 
    new baby 
    today, 

    and you 
    slammed 
    the door in 
    my face. 

    Now, 

    Shirley, 
    know that 
    you've got 
    every right 

    to 
    despise 
    every 
    breath 
    that I take, 

    but 
    I'm praying 
    there's 
    still 

    enough love 
    in 
    your 
    heart 

    to 
    forgive 
    me that 
    one 
    big 
    mis
    take. 

    Because 
    surely, 
    surely 
    love 
    you, 

    you 
    must 
    believe 
    do, 

    be
    cause 
    surely 
    need 
    to 
    have 

    and 
    hold 
    the 
    both 
    of 
    you. 

    You 
    know I have 
    to admit 
    that 

    when I 
    first 
    heard 
    the news 

    that my 
    first 
    thought 
    was I 
    had to run. 

    You 
    see, 

    Shirley, I 
    was too 
    far along 

    on 
    my way 
    to success 

    to 
    be chained 
    to 
    a wife 
    an
    d a 
    son. 

    So 
    kept 
    my name, 

    and you 
    had 
    the blame. 

    And 
    you 
    bore it 
    with head held 
    high. 

    But 
    I guess now, 

    all the 
    while 
    that you 
    were 
    wearing the 
    smile, 

    you 
    wanted 
    to break 
    down and 
    cry. 

    Shirley, 
    love you. 

    You 
    must 
    believe 
    do 

    Cause 
    surely 
    need 
    to 
    have 
    and 
    hold 

    The 
    both 
    of 
    you 

    just 
    jumped on 
    that train 
    an

    it took 
    me 
    away 

    And 

    I, 
    well I 
    thought I'd 
    left trouble 
    behind 

    But 
    found out 
    in a while 

    With 
    each passing 
    mile, 

    what 
    I really 
    had 
    left 
    was 
    my mind 

    So 
    I'm back 
    here to 
    stay, 

    wheth
    er you'll 
    have 
    me or not 

    It's 
    all up 
    to you, 

    Shirley, 
    in 
    your heart 

    All 
    the heartaches 
    you've 
    had, 

    everything 
    that's 
    gone 
    bad 

    I'll 
    have to 
    live with 
    if 
    we 
    stay apart 

    Cause 
    surely 
    love 
    you, 

    you 
    must 
    believe 
    do 

    Cause 
    surely 
    need 
    to 
    have 
    and 

    hold 
    the 
    both 
    of 
    you 

    Oh, 

    Shirley, 
    need 
    to 
    have 
    and 

    hold 
    the 
    both 
    of 
    you

    • 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.
