    Words 
    of 
    wisdom 
    I 
    recall 

    Mama 
    told 
    me 
    when 
    I 
    was 
    small 

    There's 
    a 
    moral 
    to 
    each 
    story 

    There's 
    one 
    here 
    if 
    you 
    look 
    too 
    close 

    But 
    I'd 
    fuss 
    and 
    I'd 
    fight, 

    I promise 
    you 
    I 
    would 
    never 
    be 
    so 
    uncool 

    But 
    I'm 
    surprised 
    if 
    I 
    don't 
    find 
    I 

    sound 
    like 
    you 
    a 
    lot 
    of 
    the 
    time 

    If 
    you 
    can
    't 
    say 
    nothing 
    nice, 

    don't 
    say 
    nothing 
    at 
    all 

    Pride 
    goes 
    first 
    before 
    it's 
    all 

    No 
    one 
    loves 
    you 
    like 
    your 
    mother 

    Someday 
    you'll 
    like 
    your 
    little 
    brother 

    Don't 
    rhyme 
    with 
    that 
    thing 

    You'll 
    poke 
    out 
    an 
    eye 

    Don't 
    bring 
    in 
    the 
    boys 

    when 
    they 
    go 
    by 

    Never 
    said 
    never, 

    thought 
    I 
    taught 
    you 
    better 

    Nice 
    girls 
    always 
    wear 
    a 

    bra 
    with 
    a 
    sweater 

    My 
    mama 
    said 
    it's 
    true, 
    but 
    I 
    disagree 

    Some
    times 
    it 
    sounds 
    like 
    you 

    Do 
    wrongs 
    don't 
    make 
    it 
    right 

    Tangling 
    earrings 
    up 
    or 
    just 
    at 
    night 

    Anything 
    worth 
    doing 
    is 

    worth 
    doing 
    well 

    Whistle 
    in 
    the 
    dark, 
    no 
    one 
    can 
    tell 

    Keep 
    a 
    penny 
    in 
    your 
    pocket, 

    keep 
    a 
    dime 
    in 
    your 
    shoe 

    Clean 
    underwear 
    if 
    something 

    happens 
    to 
    you 

    You 
    can 
    catch 
    more 
    flies 
    than 
    honey 

    I'm 
    there 
    for 
    the 
    love 
    and 
    not 
    for 
    money 

    My 
    mama 
    said 
    it's 
    true, 

    but 
    I disagree 

    Sometimes 
    it 
    sounds 
    like 
    you, 

    now 
    it sounds 
    like 
    me 

    Hey! 

    so
    lo 

    A 
    bread 
    crust 
    can 
    curl 
    your 
    hair 

    Not 
    polite 
    to 
    point 
    or 
    stare 

    Everyone 
    else 
    was 
    jumping 

    off 
    a 
    cliff 
    or 
    two 

    You 
    can 
    be 
    sure 
    that 
    I 

    wouldn't 
    let 
    you 

    Don't, 
    don't 
    wear 
    white 
    to 
    laughter 

    Each 
    and 
    day 
    I'd 
    never 
    talk 

    to 
    your 
    grandma 
    that 
    way 

    Get 
    a 
    real 
    job, 
    it wasn't 
    worth 
    your 
    time 

    If 
    you 
    don't 
    stop 
    that 
    then 

    you'll 
    go 
    blind 

    My 
    mama 
    said 
    it's 
    true

      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.
