  • Verse 1
    Well, 
    he 
    was 
    sit
    tin' 

    on 
    the sidewalk 

    Christmas 
    Eve, 

    all 
    by 
    himself 
    with 
    brown 
    bag 
    drink 

    Oh, 
    and 
    pocketful 
    of 
    plastic 
    horses 

    I sat 
    down 
    next 
    him, 

    it 
    was 
    the 
    luck 
    of 
    the 
    draw 

    It 
    was snowing 
    like 
    hell, 

    talkin' 
    cat
    s and 
    dog

    That's 
    when 
    I saw 
    them 

    plastic 
    horses 

    Verse 2

    Said, 
    Hey 
    man, 

    what's 
    the deal 
    on 
    that? 

    He said, 
    I'll tell 
    ya 
    for 
    cigarette 

    Soon 
    as 
    that 
    Marlboro 
    was 
    lit 

    Verse 3
    He said 
    I got 
    little 
    girl 
    in Caro
    lina 

    She 
    gave 
    these 
    plastic 
    horses 
    to 
    me 

    But 
    her 
    mama 
    says 
    that 
    can't 
    see 
    her 

    Un
    til 
    I'm 
    off 
    these 
    damn 

    amphetamines 

    And it's 
    been 
    long 
    time 

    Since 
    I've 
    seen 
    her smile 

    She 
    thinks 
    I'm 
    long 
    gone 

    But 
    I'm 
    still 
    holdin' 
    on 
    to plastic 

    horses 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    Said, 
    I've 
    been 
    car
    rying 
    these 

    toys 
    for twenty 
    years 

    And 
    can 
    still 
    see 
    her 
    face 

    through 
    all 
    the 
    tears 

    But 
    she 
    couldn't 
    pick 
    me 
    out 
    of 
    crowd 

    Oh, 
    and 
    got 
    some 
    demons 

    that 
    just 
    can't 
    beat 

    That's 
    why 
    I'm 
    out 
    here 

    on 
    this 
    street 

    Can't 
    be 
    the man 
    need 
    to 
    be 

    Verse 5
    Said 
    I got 
    little 
    girl 
    in 
    Caro
    lina 

    She 
    gave 
    these 
    plastic 
    horses

    can't 
    see 
    her 

    Un
    til

    thing 
    that 
    he said 
    to me 
    was 

    He 
    was 
    fixing 
    to 
    get 
    clean 

    In 
    time 
    for 
    his 
    daughter's 
    birthday 

    One 
    week 
    later, 
    when 
    woke 
    up 

    And 
    filled 
    up

    cup 

    opened

    to 
    the page

    read, 
    there 
    was 
    a man 
    found 
    in 
    Georgia 

    On 
    the sidewalk, 
    New 
    Year's 
    Eve 

    He 
    had 
    a pocketful 
    of 
    plastic 
    horses 

    And 
    a picture 
    of 
    his 
    daughter 

    up 
    his 
    sleeve 

    And 
    every 
    now 
    and 
    then 

    I think 
    about 
    him 

    And 
    know 
    he's 
    long 
    gone 

    But 
    I'm 
    still 
    holdin' 
    on

    • 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.
