  • Chorus 1
    When 
    mama 
    said 
    that 
    it 
    was 
    okay 

    Mama 
    said 
    that 
    it 
    was 
    quite 
    al
    right 

    Our 
    kind 
    of 
    people 
    had 
    bed 
    for 
    the 
    night 

    And 
    it 
    was 
    okay 

    Mama 
    told 
    us 
    we 
    were 
    good 
    kids 

    And 
    daddy 
    told 
    us 
    never 
    listen 
    to 
    the 
    ones 

    Pointing 
    nasty 
    fingers 
    and 
    making 
    fun 

    'Cause 
    we 
    were 
    good 
    kids 

    Verse 1
    Remember 
    asking 
    both 
    my 
    mom 
    and 
    dad 

    Why 
    we 
    never 
    travelled 
    to 
    exotic 
    lands 

    We 
    only 
    ever 
    really 
    visit' 
    friends 

    Nothing 
    to 
    tell 
    when 
    the 
    summer 
    ends 

    We 
    never 
    really 
    went 
    buying 
    clothes 

    Folks 
    were 
    passing 
    on 
    the 
    stuff 
    in 
    plenty 
    loads 

    New 
    shoes 
    once 
    year 
    and 
    then 

    Out 
    to 
    play 
    ball 
    so 
    we 
    could 
    ruin 
    them 

    Chorus 2
    When 
    mama 
    said 
    that

    of 
    people 
    had 
    bed 
    for 
    the 
    night 

    And 
    it 
    was 
    okay 

    Mama 
    told 
    us 
    we 
    were 
    good 
    kids 

    And 
    daddy 
    told 
    us 
    never 
    listen 
    to 
    the 
    ones 

    Pointing 
    nasty 
    fingers 
    and 
    making 
    fun 

    'Cause 
    we 
    were 
    good 
    kids

    get 
    me 
    wrong 
    didn't 
    have 
    it 
    bad 

    got 
    enough 
    lovin' 
    from 
    my 
    mom 
    and 
    dad 

    But 
    don't 
    think 
    they 
    really 
    understood 

    When 
    said 
    that 
    wan

    to 
    deal 
    in 
    Hollywood 

    told

    on 
    TV 

    The 
    other 
    kids 
    were 
    calling 
    me 
    wannabe 

    The 
    older 
    kids 
    they 
    started 
    bugging 
    me 

    But 
    now 
    they're 
    all 
    standing 

    right 
    in 
    front 
    of 
    me

    • 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.
