    Once upon a time 

    not so long ago 

    Verse 1
    Tommy 
    used 
    to 
    work 
    on 
    the 
    docks, 

    union's 
    been 
    on 
    strike 

    He's 
    down 
    on 
    his 
    luck, 

    it's 
    tough, 
    so 
    tough 

    Gina 
    works 
    the 
    diner 
    all 
    day, 

    working 
    for 
    her 
    man 

    She 
    brings 
    home 
    her 
    pay, 

    for 
    love, 
    for 
    love 

    Pre-chorus 1
    She 
    says, 
    we've 
    got 
    to 
    hold 
    on 

    to 
    what 
    we've 
    got 

    It 
    doesn't 
    make 
    difference 

    if 
    we 
    make 
    it 
    or 
    not 

    We've 
    got 
    each 
    other 

    and 
    that's 
    lot 
    for 
    love 

    We'll 
    give 
    it 
    shot 

    Chorus 1
    Woah, 
    we're 
    half 
    way 
    there 

    Wo- 
    ah, 
    livin' 
    on 
    prayer 

    Take 
    my 
    hand, 
    we'll 
    make 
    it 
    swear 

    Wo- 
    ah, 
    livin' 
    on 
    prayer 


    Verse 2
    Tommy's 
    got 
    his 
    six-string 
    in 
    hock 

    Now 
    he's 
    holding 
    in 

    what 
    he 
    used 
    to 
    make 
    it 
    talk 

    So 
    tough, 
    it's 
    tough 

    Gina 
    dreams 
    of 
    running 
    away 

    When 
    she 
    cries 
    in 
    the 
    night, 
    Tommy 
    whispers 

    Baby, 
    it's 
    o- 
    kay, 
    some- 
    day 

    Pre-chorus 2
    We've 
    got 
    to 
    hold 
    on 

    to 
    what 
    we've 
    got 

    It 
    doesn't 
    make 
    difference 

    if 
    we 
    make 
    it 
    or 
    not 

    We've 
    got 
    each 
    other 

    and 
    that's 
    lot 
    for 
    love 

    We'll 
    give 
    it 
    shot 

    Chorus 2
    Woah, 
    we're 
    half 
    way 
    there 

    Wo- 
    ah, 
    livin' 
    on 
    prayer 

    Take 
    my 
    hand, 
    we'll 
    make 
    it 
    swear 

    Wo- 
    ah, 
    livin' 
    on 
    prayer 

    Livin' 
    on 
    prayer 

    Solo 1



    Ooh 

    Pre-chorus 3
    We've 
    got 
    to 
    hold 
    on, 

    ready 
    or 
    not 

    You 
    live 
    for 
    the 
    fight 

    when 
    it's 
    all 
    that 
    you've 
    got 

    Chorus 3
    Woah, 
    we're 
    half 
    way 
    there 

    Wo- 
    ah, 
    livin' 
    on 
    prayer 

    Take 
    my 
    hand 
    and 
    we'll 
    make 
    it 
    swear 

    Wo- 
    ah, 
    livin' 
    on 
    prayer 

    Chorus 4
    Woah, 
    we're 
    half 
    way 
    there 

    Wo- 
    ah, 
    livin' 
    on 
    prayer 

    Take 
    my 
    hand 
    and

    • 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.
