    Verse 1
    Yes, 
    folks, 

    I got 
    a cut 
    -down 
    on 
    my 
    overhead. 

    The 
    way things 
    are going 
    now, 

    I'm 
    about 
    to lose 
    my 
    budding 
    brain. 

    You 
    know, 
    used 
    to be 
    particular 

    about 
    the 
    women 
    that 
    picked. 

    They 
    had 
    to 
    be 
    tender, 
    lean, 
    and 
    tall, 

    but 
    now 
    things 
    done 
    changed. 

    I'll 
    take 
    them 
    knock 
    -naked, 

    four -legged, 
    I'll 
    even 
    take 
    them 
    bald. 

    You 
    know, 
    seen 
    the 
    time 
    when I 
    used 
    to have 

    steaks 
    and chops 
    piled 
    up 
    on 
    my 
    dog's 
    plate. 

    And 
    if he 
    seen 
    bone, 

    he'll 
    sniff 
    his 
    nose 
    up 
    and 
    walk 
    away 
    and 
    leave 
    it alone. 

    But 
    now 
    that 

    Sam's 
    gone, 

    me 
    and 
    my 
    dog 
    is 
    pulling 
    straws 

    An
    if 
    he wins, 

    I'll 
    snatch 
    it 
    right 
    out his 
    jaws 

    I've 
    got 
    to cut 
    down, 

    cut 
    down 
    on 
    my 
    overhead 

    I've 
    got to 
    cut down, 

    cut 
    down 
    on 
    my 
    overhead 

    You 
    know 
    here 
    lately 
    can't 
    hold 
    a dime, 

    in 
    fact 
    ain't had 
    no 
    money since 
    1949, 
    that 

    was fine, 
    my 
    still 
    was 
    jumpin', 

    the 
    house 
    party 
    was 
    poppin', 
    and 
    I was 
    doin' 
    the 
    town, 

    But 
    just as 
    soon 
    as 
    I got 
    down, 
    old 

    Sam 
    the 
    tax 
    man 
    come 
    around, 

    showin' 
    me 
    a bill 
    for 

    500 
    back 
    taxes 
    that 
    didn't 
    even 
    win 

    But 
    this 
    is 
    all I 
    got 
    to 
    say, 
    open 
    up 

    Sing 

    Sing, 
    cause 
    I'm comin' 
    in 

    I've 
    got 
    to cut 
    down, 
    cut 
    down 
    on 
    my 
    over
    head 
    I've 
    got to 
    cut 
    down, 

    cut 
    down 
    on 
    my 
    over
    head 

    Where 
    things 
    are 
    going 
    now, 
    I'm 
    about 
    to lose 
    my 
    woman, 

    Outro 1
    butter 
    and 
    bread

    • 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.
