    Verse 1
    Oh 
    King 
    Richard, 

    you 
    run 
    rummer's dream 

    The swiftest 
    of 
    outlaw 

    that 
    I've 
    ever 
    seen 

    Your 
    checkered 
    flag 
    waving 

    so 
    high 
    in the esteem 

    'Til 
    no 
    one 
    can 
    catch 
    you 
    at 
    all 

    So, 
    Verse 2
    what 
    can 
    you 
    say 
    about 

    the man 
    built 
    for 
    speed 

    The 
    master 
    mechanic 
    gave 

    you 
    what 
    you 
    need 

    Sur
    vival 
    on instinct 
    and 

    heart 
    that 
    don't 
    bleed 

    The 
    win
    ning 
    tradition 
    of a 

    vanishing 
    breed 

    Verse 3
    When I 
    think 
    about 
    a lesser 
    man, 

    much 
    like 
    myself 

    Alive 
    in a vacuum, 
    alone 
    on 
    a shelve 

    To 
    never 
    go no 
    place 
    'til 
    all 
    got 
    left 

    Is staring 
    at 
    these 
    lonely 
    walls 

    Verse 4
    Oh 
    King 
    Richard, 
    just 
    keep 
    up 
    the pace 

    Your 
    boot 
    in 
    your 
    gas 
    tank, 

    the smile 
    on 
    your 
    face 

    And 
    you'll 
    set 
    the 
    standard 

    time 
    can't 
    erase 

    And 
    God 
    only 
    knows 
    how 
    you 

    feel 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    If 
    there's 
    life 
    in 
    the 
    fast 
    lane, 

    then 
    you 
    wrote 
    the 
    book 

    But 
    it 
    don't 
    come 
    as 
    easy 
    as 

    you 
    make 
    it 
    look 

    'Cause a 
    man 
    in his 
    sunshades 

    can't 
    never 
    slow 
    down 

    Without 
    someone 
    sneaking 
    round 

    stealing 
    your 
    crown 

    Verse 6
    From a 
    dirt 
    track 
    in Charlotte 

    to the 
    Daytona 
    line 

    Your 
    life 
    flying 
    by 
    and 
    you 

    don't 
    even 
    mind 

    The 
    world 
    loves 
    winner 
    and 

    you've 
    shown 
    them 
    all 

    How 
    easy 
    the 
    King 
    gets 
    it 
    done 

    Verse 7
    Oh 
    King 
    Richard, 
    just 
    look 
    out 
    below 

    Some 
    punk 
    on 
    your 
    bumper, 

    you're 
    running 
    too 
    slow 

    And 
    one 
    day 
    you're 
    older, 

    the next 
    thing 
    you 
    know 

    Your 
    races 
    are 
    already 
    run

    • 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.
