    Verse 1
    She 
    wore 
    an 

    S.E.G. when 
    she 
    came 
    back 
    home 

    Like 
    the 
    cat 
    that 
    ate 
    the 
    ca
    nary 

    And 
    stood 
    befuddled, 

    a chauvanist stud 

    With 
    his 
    mistress 
    quite 
    con
    trary 

    I was 
    smack 
    up 
    against 
    the 
    mo
    ment 

    was 
    afraid 
    would 
    face 
    someday 

    But the 
    truth 
    is 
    wall 
    that 

    you 
    can't 
    blow 
    down 

    And 
    it 
    won't 
    be 
    laughed 
    away 

    Verse 2

    You 
    see, 
    my 
    old 
    lady 
    went 
    and 
    took 
    herself 

    young 
    man 
    last 
    night 

    It 
    got 
    me 
    crazy 
    when 
    she 
    said, 

    "Baby, 
    don't 
    you 
    get 
    up
    tight, 

    I think 
    maybe 
    it's 
    the 
    time 

    for you 
    to 
    see 
    the 
    light," 

    She 
    said, 
    "It's 
    alright 
    now, 

    boy, I'm 
    yours 
    to
    night." 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    Now 
    admit 
    my 
    imagina
    tion's 
    been 

    The 
    sweetest 
    sin
    ner 
    of 
    all 

    Yes 
    it 
    lives 
    like 
    snake 
    in 
    Eden 

    And 
    it 
    for
    gives 
    each 
    time 
    fall 

    So 
    I've 
    been 
    Cas
    anova 

    I've 
    double- 
    dated 
    with 
    Don 
    Juan 

    And 
    though 
    I've been 
    doing 

    almost 
    everything 

    never 
    dreamed 
    she'd 
    be 
    carrying 
    on! 

    Verse 4

    You 
    see, 
    my 
    old 
    lady 
    went 
    and 
    took 
    herself 

    young 
    man 
    last 
    night 

    It 
    got 
    me 
    crazy 
    when 
    she 
    said, 

    "Baby, 
    don't 
    you 
    get 
    up
    tight, 

    think 
    maybe 
    it's 
    the 
    time 

    for you 
    to 
    see 
    the 
    light," 

    She 
    said, 
    "It's 
    alright 
    now, 
    boy, 

    Interlude 2
    I'm 
    yours 
    to
    night." 


    Verse 5
    She 
    says 
    that 
    she 
    still 
    loves 
    me 

    She 
    says 
    that 
    last 
    night 
    was 
    no 
    big 
    deal 

    She 
    says, 
    "Why 
    can't 
    woman 

    play 
    the 
    same 
    damn 
    game 

    And 
    act 
    out 
    what 
    she 
    feels?" 

    She 
    says 
    she's 
    going 
    to 
    take 
    bath 

    hear 
    her 
    singing 
    in 
    the 
    tub 
    up
    stairs 

    While 
    I'm 
    sitting 
    here 
    spitting 

    out 
    chunks 
    of my 
    heart 

    Forced 
    into 
    being 
    fair, 

    While 
    she's 
    splash
    ing 

    rround up 
    there, 

    I'm 
    supposed 
    to 
    act 
    like 
    don't 
    care, 

    hear 
    the 
    devil 
    laughing 
    somewhere! 

    Verse 6

    You 
    see, 
    my 
    old 
    lady 
    went and 
    took 
    herself 

    young 
    man 
    last 
    night 

    It 
    got 
    me 
    crazy 
    when 
    she 
    said, 

    "Baby, 
    don't 
    you 
    get 
    up
    tight, 

    think 
    maybe 
    it's 
    the 
    time 

    for you 
    to see 
    the 
    light," 

    She 
    said, 
    "It's 
    alright 
    now, 
    boy, 

    I'm 
    yours 
    to
    night."

    • 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.
