    My 
    life 

    was 
    once 
    a joy 
    to me, 

    Never 
    knowing, 
    I 
    was 
    grow
    ing, 
    every
    day. 

    My 
    life 
    was 
    once 
    a toy 
    to me, 

    And 
    I 
    wound 
    it 
    and 
    I 
    found 
    it 
    ran 
    away. 

    So 
    I 
    raced 
    through 
    the night 

    with a 
    face 
    at 
    my 
    feet, 

    like 
    a 
    god 
    I 
    would write, 

    All 
    the melodies 
    were sweet, 

    and the 
    women 
    were 
    white. 

    It was 
    easy 
    to 
    sur
    vive, 

    my 
    life 
    was 
    so 
    alive. 

    My 
    life 
    was 
    once 
    a 
    flag 
    to 
    me 

    And 
    I 
    waved 
    it 
    and 
    be
    haved 

    like 
    I 
    was 
    told. 

    My 
    life 
    was 
    once 
    a drag 
    to 
    me 

    And 
    I 
    loudly, 
    and 
    I 
    proudly, 
    lost 
    control 

    I 
    was 
    drawn 
    by 
    a dream 

    I was 
    loved 
    by 
    a lie, 

    every 
    serf 
    on 
    the 
    scene 

    Begged 
    me 
    to buy. 

    But 
    I 
    slipped 
    through 
    the scheme 

    So 
    lucky 
    to fail 

    My 
    life 
    was 
    not 
    for 
    sale. 

    My 
    life 
    is 
    now 
    a 
    myth 
    to me 

    Like 
    the 
    drifter, 

    with 
    his 
    laughter 
    in 
    the 
    dawn. 

    My 
    life 
    is 
    now 
    a 
    death 
    to 
    me 

    So 
    I'll 
    mold 
    it 
    and 
    I'll 
    hold 

    it 
    till 
    I'm 
    born 

    So 
    I 
    turned 
    to 
    the 
    land 

    Where 
    I'm so 
    out 
    of place 

    Throw 
    a curse 
    on 
    the plan 

    In return 
    for 
    the grace 

    To 
    know 
    where 
    I 
    stand 

    Take 
    everything 
    I 
    own 

    Take 
    your 
    tap 
    from 
    my 
    phone 

    And 
    leave 
    my 
    life 
    alone 

    My 
    life 
    alone.

      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.
