    The 
    wages 
    of 
    an 

    unskilled 
    working 
    man 
    never 
    pay 
    enough 

    From 
    time 
    to 
    time 
    the 
    nickel 
    race 

    keeps 
    him 
    from 
    giving 
    up 

    The 
    blue 
    -collared 
    man 
    in 

    Seattle 
    never 
    lives 
    on 

    White 

    Collar 

    Street 

    But 
    there 
    was food 
    on 

    the table 
    for 
    my 

    Washington 
    wo
    man 
    and 
    me 

    The 
    work 
    slowed 
    down 
    and 
    then 
    one 

    day 
    the 
    foreman 
    laid 
    me 
    off 

    That 
    night 
    in 
    a tavern 
    down 
    to 
    my 

    last 
    dime 
    I 
    met 
    a 
    girl 
    from 

    Arkansas 

    Her 
    daddy 
    was 
    a 
    banker 
    in 

    Little 

    Rock 

    She 
    had 
    a 
    mansion 
    on 

    White 

    Collar 

    Street 

    The 
    next 
    morn
    ing 
    my 

    Washington 
    wo
    man 
    woke 

    up 
    without 
    me 

    From 
    city 
    to 
    city 
    and 
    state 
    to 
    state, 

    I 
    grew 
    heavier 
    with 
    shame. 

    My 

    Wash
    ington 
    woman 
    had 
    six 
    months 
    left 

    before 
    our 
    child 
    would 
    bring 
    her 
    pain. 

    My 

    Arkansas 
    woman 
    hugged 
    me 

    as 
    we 
    crossed 
    the 

    Arkansas 
    line 

    But 
    the 
    arms 
    of 

    Seattle, 
    they're 
    arms 
    that 

    kept 
    hugging 
    mine 

    Three 
    years 
    of 
    best 
    and 
    expens
    ive 

    wines 
    taste 
    cheaper 
    every 
    day 

    I 
    gave 
    up 
    all 
    the 
    things 
    I 
    love 
    for 

    all 
    these 
    things 
    I 
    hate 

    Locked 
    up 
    all 
    of 
    her forgive
    ness 

    the 
    day 
    I 
    set 
    myself 
    free 

    And 
    the 
    heart 
    of 
    my 

    Washington 
    wo
    man 
    stopped 

    beating 
    for 
    me 

    My 

    Washington 
    woman 
    send
    s me 
    a 

    letter 
    every 
    once 
    in 
    a 
    while 

    Inside 
    a 
    folded 
    word

    is 
    a 
    picture 
    of 
    my 
    child 

    All 
    at 
    once 
    the 
    room 
    grows 
    cold 

    with 
    a 
    feeling 
    of 
    jealousy 

    And 
    there's 
    a 
    silence 
    between 
    my 

    Arkansas

      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.
