    Verse 1
    Sitting 

    alone 
    in 
    his 
    rocking 
    chair 

    With 
    a pistol 
    in 
    his 
    hand 

    Karl 
    Dane, 
    got 
    nothing 
    left 
    to 
    give 

    You see 
    his 
    face 
    at 
    the picture 
    show 

    In 
    the si
    lent 
    days, 

    the 
    only 
    life 
    he would 
    know 

    But 
    by 
    the 
    middle 
    of 
    April, 

    he 
    had 
    no 
    reason 
    to live 

    Verse 2

    But 
    when 
    he 
    opened 
    his 
    mouth 

    Oh, 
    you'd 
    prob'ly 
    say 
    the 
    same 

    In
    vention 
    of sound, 

    and 
    Karl 
    Dane 
    was 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    game 

    Give 
    him 
    a job, 
    five 
    dollars 
    day 

    Yeah, 
    the studio 
    told 
    him 
    that 

    was 
    all 
    they 
    would 
    pay 

    And 
    when 
    they 
    found 
    him 
    dead, 

    he 
    left 
    himself 
    for 
    no 
    one 
    to 
    claim 

    Verse 3

    And 
    it's 
    a modern 
    world 

    that 
    we 
    live 
    in 

    And 
    you 
    got 
    no 
    place 
    to 
    go 

    It's 
    modern 
    world 
    that 
    we 
    live 
    in 

    And 
    it 
    just 
    ain't 
    made 
    for 
    me 

    Verse 4

    In 
    the show 
    of 
    the freaks, 
    yeah, 

    would 
    probably 
    guess 

    You'd 
    find 
    her standing 
    there 
    with 

    hair 
    from 
    her 
    chin 
    to 
    her 
    chest 

    And 
    then 
    they shut 
    it 
    down, 

    they 
    found 
    it 
    politically 
    incor
    rect 

    So 
    it 
    was 
    on 
    with 
    the 
    high 
    heels 

    and 
    off 
    with 
    the beard 

    When 
    she'd 
    a good 
    shave, 

    she 
    didn't 
    look 
    half 
    weird 

    So 
    now 
    it's 
    nights 
    on 
    the corners 

    just 
    to come 
    up 
    with 
    rent 

    Verse 5

    And 
    it's 
    a shame 
    the 
    way 

    Mar
    cel 
    would 
    treat 
    her so 
    unkind 

    She 
    picked 
    up 
    the 
    pipe 
    to 

    make 
    it 
    through 
    the 
    day 

    Well, 
    you 
    can 
    find 
    her 
    there 

    Face 
    down 
    in 
    the 
    curb 

    Two 
    inches 
    of water 
    in 

    the grave 
    that 
    she 
    lay 

    Verse 6

    And 
    it's 
    a modern 
    world 

    that 
    we 
    live 
    in 

    And 
    you 
    got 
    no 
    place 
    to 
    go 

    It's 
    modern 
    world 
    that 
    we 
    live 
    in 

    And 
    it 
    just 
    ain't 
    made 
    for 
    me 

    Verse 7

    Jesse 
    James, 
    Pat 
    Garrett, 
    Billy 
    the Kid 

    Ain't 
    no 
    room 
    in
    side 
    the world 
    for 

    all 
    the 
    things 
    that 
    they did 

    Yeah, 
    Rudolph 
    Valentino, 

    even 
    Cool 
    Hand 
    Luke 

    Just 
    like 
    king, 
    queen 
    or pharaoh, 

    like 
    a jester 
    or 
    duke

    too 
    high

    and 
    Holiday 

    Even 
    Dylan's having 
    trouble 

    tryna 
    make 
    it 
    today 

    Well, 
    it's 
    a shame 
    to say, 

    "That's 
    just 
    the 
    way 
    that 
    it 
    goes"

    learn, 
    sup
    pose

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
