  • Verse 1
    Ever since 
    was 
    a child, 

    I loved 
    to wander 
    wild 

    Through 
    the bright 
    city 
    lights, 

    And find 
    myself 
    a life 
    could 
    call 
    my 
    own. 

    It 
    was 
    always 
    my 
    ambition 

    To see 
    Piccadilly, 

    Ramble 
    and 
    roam 
    around 
    So
    ho 

    And 
    Pimlico 
    and Savile 
    Row, 

    And 
    walk 
    down 
    the 
    Abbey 
    Road. 

    So 
    I saved 
    all 
    my money 

    And 
    packed 
    up 
    my 
    clothes, 

    And 
    I said 
    good- 
    bye 
    to 
    my friends 

    And 
    my folks 
    back 
    home. 

    And 
    left 
    for 
    a life 
    of 
    my 
    own. 

    left 
    for 
    a life 
    on 
    the 
    road. 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    I'm 
    real 
    hungry 
    tyke, 

    And 
    know 
    what 
    I like. 

    And 
    know 
    where 
    I'm 
    goin' 

    To 
    those 
    bright 
    city 
    lights. 

    Oh 
    yeah, 
    oh yeah, 

    This 
    time 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    get 
    there. 

    I'm 
    bound 
    for 
    life 

    on 
    the 
    road. 

    Give 
    me 
    life 
    on 
    the road. 

    I said 
    life 
    on 
    the 
    road. 

    Verse 3

    When 
    arrived 
    in 
    Houston, 

    was little 
    more 
    than 
    child. 

    And 
    I did
    n't 
    know 
    then 

    That 
    the di
    ves 
    and 
    the 
    dens 

    Would 
    be so 
    vulgar 
    and 

    wicked 
    and 
    wild. 

    Mama 
    always 
    told 
    me 

    The city 
    ladies 
    were 
    bawdy 
    and 
    bold. 

    And so 
    I searched 
    night 
    and 
    day 

    To 
    catch 
    a kissable 
    lady, 

    But 
    all 
    that 
    I caught 
    was 
    a cold, 

    Cause 
    those 
    stuck
    - up 
    city 
    ladies 

    Didn't 
    no
    tice 
    me 
    walk 
    by. 

    Now 
    I've 
    got 
    holes 
    in 
    my shoes 

    Cause 
    I've 
    been walkin' 

    the streets 
    all 
    night. 

    And 
    I'm 
    liv
    in' 
    the 
    life 

    that 
    chose. 

    Liv
    in' 
    my 
    life 
    on 
    the road. 

    I said 
    life 
    on 
    the 
    road. 

    want 
    life 
    on 
    the 
    road. 

    Life 
    on 
    the 
    road. 

    Verse 4

    was stand
    ing 
    with 
    the punks 

    in Praed 
    Street, 

    When 
    a muscle 
    man 
    came 
    my 
    way.

    • 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.
