    • Verse 1
    I 
    met 
    her 
    at 
    a 
    baseball 
    game 

    That 
    got 
    held 
    up 
    by 
    August 
    rain 

    Be
    neath 
    the mezzanine, 

    I 
    huddled 
    up 
    against 
    her 
    hand 

    By 
    then 
    the rain 
    had 
    left 
    the 
    ground 

    And Seger 
    threw 
    a 
    few 
    on 

    the 
    mound 

    We stood 
    to face 
    the flag 
    that 

    flew 
    above 
    the 
    Navy 
    band 

    Then 
    the 
    anthem 
    began 
    to 

    blare 
    through 
    the sta
    dium 

    It 
    rang 
    through 
    the 
    open 
    air

    And 
    I 
    knew 
    this 
    was 
    the time 

    to 
    make 
    my 
    pitch 

    Verse 2

    Won't 
    you 
    come 
    home 
    with 
    me? 

    I've 
    a 
    room 
    you 
    should 
    see 

    With 
    a warm 
    waterbed 

    And a pil
    low 
    for 
    your 
    head 

    I've 
    a 
    robe 
    you 
    could 
    wear 

    And 
    the 
    smoke 
    we 
    could share 

    You 
    are 
    blond, 
    I 
    am 
    tall 

    And 
    I 
    think 
    that 
    says 
    it 
    all 

    A 
    quick 
    glass 
    of 
    wine 
    Verse 3

    Then 
    I'll 
    feed 
    you 
    a 
    line 

    Nilsson 
    will 
    sing 

    And 
    you 
    won't 
    feel 
    a 
    thing 

    Oh, 
    say 
    you 
    will 
    stay 
    with 
    me, 
    love 

    Must 
    I say, 
    I 
    love 
    you? 

    Verse 4
    Well, 
    how 
    do ya' like 
    my pad? 

    Oh, 
    it's great. 
    I mean, 
    I 
    love 
    purple 

    I, 
    I bet 
    you're an 
    Aquarius, 
    aren't 
    you? 

    No, 
    actually, 
    I'm 
    a Leo 

    I 
    knew 
    you 
    were one 
    of 
    those 

    You know, 
    Leos 
    are 
    very 
    big 

    on 
    Women's 
    lib 

    I don't, 
    uh, 
    believe 
    in 
    Women's 
    lib 

    Verse 5
    Yes, 
    somehow 
    I 
    didn't 

    think 
    you did 

    Let me just 
    turn 
    on the 
    hi- fi 
    here 

    Oh, 
    that's 
    pretty, 
    um, 

    what 
    kind 
    of 
    wine 
    is 
    this? 

    Oh, that's 
    uh, 
    that's 
    red 
    wine 

    Red, 
    that's my 
    favorite 
    kind 

    Are 
    you having 
    a terrific 
    time? 

    Oh, 
    yeah. 
    I'm 
    having 

    a very 
    terrific 
    time 

    Verse 6
    Oh, 
    stay 
    for 
    a 
    lifetime 

    At 
    least 
    wait 
    un
    til 
    the 
    late 
    show 

    So, 
    you 
    didn't tell 
    me 
    your 

    name 

    My 
    name 
    is 
    Karen 

    Outro 1
    That 
    was 
    my 
    mother's 
    name

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
