    Verse 1
    Want 
    some 
    whiskey 
    in 
    your 
    water 

    Sugar 
    with 
    your 
    tea 

    What 
    are 
    these 
    crazy 
    questions 

    That 
    they're 
    askin' 
    me 

    This 
    is 
    the 
    craziest 
    party 

    That 
    there 
    ever 
    could 
    be 

    Don't 
    turn 
    on 
    the 
    light 

    'Cause 
    don't 
    want 
    see

    Verse 2
    Open 
    up 
    your 
    window, 

    let 
    some 
    air 
    into 
    this 
    room 

    think 
    I'm 
    almost 
    chokin' 
    from 

    the 
    smell 
    of 
    stale 
    perfume 

    And 
    that 
    cigarette 
    you're 
    smokin' 

    'bout 
    scare 
    me 
    half 
    to 
    death 

    Open 
    up 
    the 
    window 
    sucker, 

    let 
    me 
    catch 
    my 
    breath 

    Chorus 2
    Mama 
    told 
    me 
    not 
    come 

    Mama 
    told 
    me 
    not 
    come 

    That 
    ain't 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    have 
    fun, 
    son 

    That 
    ain't 
    the 
    way 
    to 
    have 
    fun, 
    son

    Verse 3
    The 
    radio 
    is 
    blastin', 

    someone's 
    knockin' 
    at 
    the 
    door 

    I'm 
    looking 
    at 
    my 
    girlfriend, 

    she's 
    passed 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    floor 

    seen 
    so 
    many 
    things 

    ain't 
    never 
    seen 
    before 

    don't 
    know 
    what 
    it 
    is 

    don't 
    wanna 
    see 
    no

    • 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.
