    Verse 1
    I

    bigger 
    house, 
    a 
    bigger 
    car, 
    if 
    I could 

    Everybody'd 
    love 
    to drink 

    Champagne, 
    eat 
    caviar, 

    yes 
    they would 

    An

    I talked 
    about 
    my 
    baby, 

    a 
    great 
    big 
    diamond 
    ring 

    Why 
    are 
    there 
    so many 
    people 
    who 
    will 
    never, 

    never, 
    never 
    have 
    anything? 

    Never,

    Liv
    in' 
    on a 
    shoestring 

    is 
    the 
    end 
    thing 

    That's 
    the kind 
    of groovy 

    world 
    we 
    live 
    in 

    Livin' 
    on a 
    shoestring 
    is 
    a bad 
    thing 

    I'd 
    love 
    to buy 
    you 
    a drink 

    But 
    I 
    gotta 
    stop 
    and 
    think, 
    think, 
    think 

    Every
    body 
    love 
    to 
    go 
    to 

    Acapulco 

    Lay 
    down 
    on 
    the beach 

    and 
    drift 
    away 

    Every
    body 
    love 
    to 
    make 
    love 
    in 

    Mexico 

    With 
    the 
    midnight 
    breeze 
    blowing 

    through 
    the 
    air 


    Get 
    back 
    to 
    reality, 
    back 
    to work 
    on 

    Monday 
    I'm 
    a 
    man 
    with a 
    whip,

    to 
    pay 
    the 
    rent, 

    next 
    week's 
    wages 
    spent 

    The 
    kids 
    ask 
    me 
    for more, 

    I 
    lose 
    my 
    sanity 

    Livin' 
    on a 
    shoestring 
    is 
    the end 
    thing 

    That's

    see 
    straight 






    I'll

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
