    Verse 1
    "?Jacky? 
    jigsaw 
    pieces 

    Tossed 
    about 
    the 
    room 

    I saw 
    my grandma 
    sweepin' 

    With 
    her old 
    straw broom 


    But she didn't 
    what 
    she 

    was 
    doin' 

    She could 
    hardly 
    un

    derstand 

    That she 
    was 
    really 
    sweepin' 
    up 

    Pieces 
    of 
    a 
    man 

    Verse 2

    I saw 
    my daddy 
    greet 
    the mail
    man 

    And I 
    heard 
    the mailman 
    say 

    "now 
    don't 
    you take 
    this 
    letter 

    to heart 
    now 
    Jimmy 

    Cause 
    they've 
    laid 
    off 

    nine 
    others 
    today" 

    But 
    he didn't 
    know 
    what 
    he 

    was 
    say
    ing 

    He could 
    hardly 
    un
    derstand 

    That he 
    was 

    only 
    talk
    in' 
    to 

    Pieces 
    of a 
    man 

    Verse 3

    I 
    saw the 
    thunder 
    and heard 

    the 
    lightnin'! 

    And 
    felt the 
    burden 
    of 
    his 
    shame 

    And 
    for 
    some 
    unknown 
    reason 

    He 
    never 
    turned 
    my 
    way 


    Verse 4
    Pieces 
    of 
    that letter 


    Were tossed 
    about 
    that 
    room 

    And 
    now 
    I hear 
    the sound 

    of 
    sirens 

    Come 
    knifing 
    through 

    the gloom 

    But 
    they don't 
    know 
    what 

    they 
    are 
    doing 

    They could 
    hardly 
    un

    derstand 

    That they're 
    only 
    arrestin' 


    Pieces 
    of a 
    man 

    Verse 5

    I 
    saw 
    him 
    go to 
    pieces 

    I 
    saw 
    him 
    go 
    to pieces 

    He was 
    always 
    such 
    a good 

    man 

    He was 
    always 
    such 
    a strong 

    strong 
    man 

    Yeah, 
    I 
    saw 
    him 
    go to 
    pieces 

    Outro 1
    I 
    saw 
    him 
    go 
    to pieces"

      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.
