    • Verse 1
    I've 
    got 
    those 
    optimism 
    blues 

    And 
    it's 
    about 
    to 
    knock 
    me 

    out 
    of 
    my 
    shoes 

    Haven't 
    seen 
    such 
    a 
    grin 
    since 

    Lord 
    knows 
    when 

    I've 
    got 
    those 
    optimism 
    blues 

    I've 
    got 
    those 
    optimism 
    blues 

    And 
    it's 
    bound 
    to 
    knock 
    me 

    out 
    of 
    my 
    shoes 

    Haven't 
    seen 
    such 
    a 
    grin 
    since, 

    Lord 
    knows 
    when 

    When 
    I've 
    got 
    those 

    optimism 
    blues 

    Time 
    has 
    changed 
    so 
    many 
    things 

    Running 
    out 
    of 
    this 
    and 
    too 
    much 
    of 
    that 

    And 
    time 
    has 
    claimed 
    so 
    many 
    things 

    By 
    getting 
    rid 
    of 
    some 
    and 
    fixing 
    others 

    But 
    I'm 
    prepared 
    to 
    accept 

    Whatever 
    fate 
    will 
    turn 
    up

    Be
    cause 
    I 
    believe 
    that 
    there's 

    A 
    very 
    good 
    reason 

    for 
    everything 
    I 
    happen 
    in 

    I've 
    got 
    those 
    optimism 
    blues 

    An
    d 
    it's 
    bound 
    to 
    knock 
    me 

    out 
    of 
    my 
    shoes 

    Haven't 
    seen 
    such 
    a 
    grin 
    since 

    Lord 
    knows 
    when 

    I've 
    got 
    those 
    optimism 
    blues 

    Time 
    has 
    changed 
    so 
    many 
    things 

    The 
    West 
    dippin' 
    in 
    haze, 

    the 
    East 
    fussin' 

    And 
    time 
    has 
    changed 
    so 
    many 
    things 

    They 
    took 
    all 
    the 
    signs 

    off 
    the 
    southern 
    bus 

    But 
    flowers 
    still 
    grow 
    like 
    before 

    Few 
    souls 
    lost 

    and 
    you 
    can't 
    hold 
    a 
    good 
    man 
    down 

    By 
    the 
    river, 
    people 
    getting 

    saved 
    by 
    the 
    desert 

    I've 
    got 
    those 
    optimism 
    blues 

    Blues, 
    and it's 
    about 
    to 
    knock 

    me 
    out 
    of

    shoes 

    Haven't 
    seen 
    such 
    a 
    grin 

    since 
    long 
    ago 

    It's 
    what 
    I'm 
    going 
    in
    , 

    I've 
    got 
    those

      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.
