  • Verse 1
    I lost 
    my 
    lucky 
    ball 
    and chain 

    Now 
    she's 
    four 
    years 
    gone 

    Just 
    five 
    feet 
    tall 
    and 
    sick 
    of me 

    And 
    all 
    my 
    rattling 
    on 

    Verse 2
    She 
    threw 
    away 
    her 
    baby-
    doll 

    held 
    on to 
    my 
    pride 

    But 
    was young 
    and 
    foolish 
    then 

    I feel 
    old 
    and fool
    ish now 

    Verse 3

    Confiden
    tially 

    She 
    never 
    called 
    me 
    baby-doll 

    Confiden
    tially 

    Confiden
    tially 

    never 
    had 
    much 
    pride 

    But 
    now 
    rock 
    barstool 

    And 
    drink 
    for 
    two 

    Just 
    pondering 
    this 
    time-bomb 
    in 
    in 
    my 
    mind 

    Verse 4
    lost 
    my 
    lucky 
    ball 
    and chain 

    Now 
    she's 
    four 
    years 
    gone 

    Just five 
    feet 
    tall 
    and 
    sick 
    of me 

    And 
    all 
    my 
    rattling 
    on 

    Verse 5
    She 
    walked 
    away 
    from 
    a happy 
    man 

    thought 
    I was 
    so 
    cool 

    just stood 
    there 
    whistling 

    "There 
    goes 
    the bride" 
    as 

    she walked 
    out 
    the door 

    "There 
    goes 
    the bride" 
    as 
    she walked 
    out 

    Interlude 1
    the door 



    Verse 6
    could shake 
    my 
    tiny 
    fist 

    And 
    swear 
    wasn't 
    wrong 

    But 
    what's 
    the sense 
    in 
    arguing 

    When 
    you're 
    all 
    alone? 

    Sure 
    as 
    you can't 
    steer 
    a train 

    You can't 
    change 
    your 
    fate 

    And when 
    she told 
    me 
    of 
    that day 

    I knew 
    I'd 
    lost 
    my 
    home 

    Verse 7

    Confiden
    tially 

    never 
    told 
    you 
    of 
    her 
    charms 

    Confiden
    tially 

    We 
    never 
    had 
    home 

    But 
    this 
    railroad 
    apart
    ment 

    Was 
    the 
    perfect 
    place 

    When 
    she'd 
    sit 
    and 
    hold 
    me 
    in 
    her 
    arms 

    Verse 8
    lost 
    my 
    lucky 
    ball 
    and 
    chain 

    Now 
    she's 
    four 
    years 
    gone 

    Just 
    five 
    feet 
    tall 
    and 
    sick 
    of me 

    And 
    all 
    my 
    rattling 
    on 

    Verse 9
    She 
    walked 
    away 
    from 
    a happy 
    man 

    thought 
    I was 
    so 
    cool 

    just stood 
    there 
    whistling 

    "There 
    goes 
    the bride" 
    as she 

    walked 
    out 
    the door 

    "There 
    goes 
    the bride" 
    as 

    she walked 
    out 
    the door 

    "There 
    goes 
    the bride" 
    as 
    she walked 
    out 
    the 

    door

    • 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.
