    Verse 1
    You're 
    livin' 

    walkin' 
    dream 

    You're the 
    best 
    I've 
    ever 
    seen, 

    Oh God 
    wanted 
    you. 

    I've often 
    dreamed 
    what 
    I would 
    do, 

    Verse 2
    If I could 
    give myself 
    to you, 

    Oh 
    God 
    wanted 
    to. 

    But up 
    'til 
    now 
    you've 
    not 

    been 
    free 
    to be 

    Foolin' 
    around 
    with 
    the likes 
    of me. 

    Verse 3
    But 
    it's 
    changed 
    now, 

    though it's 
    strange 
    how, 

    He's 
    the one 
    that ar

    ranged 
    it 
    now. 

    But he's 
    poor 
    damned 
    fool 

    'Cause 
    he 
    went 
    and let 
    you 
    go 
    now. 

    Verse 4
    Just 
    a poor 
    damned 
    fool. 

    He 
    never 
    will 
    know 
    now. 

    Maybe 
    someday 
    he'll be 
    sad. 

    I say 
    that that's 
    too 
    bad, 

    Verse 5
    He 
    never 
    knew how 
    much 
    he had. 

    I'm 
    glad 
    got 
    you now. 

    Yes 
    I've 
    had 
    my 
    ups 

    and downs 

    As I've been 
    ramblin' 
    around 

    And 
    I'll 
    be candid. 
    Verse 6

    I could 
    not 
    believe 
    my 
    eyes 

    When I 
    fi
    nally 
    realized 

    Just 
    what 
    that 
    man 
    did. 

    Verse 7

    Yes 
    I've 
    heard 
    'bout 

    finders 
    keepers 

    And how 
    losers 
    are 
    the weepers, 
    it's 
    OK, 

    know 
    it's my 
    lucky 
    day 

    Still 
    just 
    got 
    to say... 

    That 
    he's 
    poor 
    damned 
    Verse 8
    fool 

    'Cause 
    he 
    went 
    and let 
    you 
    go 
    now. 

    Just 
    a poor 
    damned 
    fool. 

    He 
    never 
    will 
    know 
    now. 

    Maybe 
    someday 
    Verse 9
    he'll 
    be sad. 

    say 
    that 
    that's 
    too bad, 

    He 
    never 
    knew 
    how 
    much 
    he had. 

    I'm 
    glad 
    got 
    you now. 

    Verse 10

    Oh 
    how 
    I'd 
    love 
    to hear 
    you say 

    You're 
    glad 
    that it 
    worked 
    out 
    this 
    way 

    And 
    you'll 
    forget 
    about 
    yesterday 

    'Cause 
    you 
    feel 
    so 
    good. 

    Verse 11
    It's worked 
    out 
    real 
    good. 

    You make 
    me 
    feel 
    so 
    good. 



    I've 
    been 
    tryin' 
    to find 
    a way 
    to cope 

    With 
    grasping 
    straws 
    And 

    fallen 
    hopes. 

    Verse 12
    But he's 
    made 
    a way 

    And now 
    his 
    misfortune 
    is my 
    gain. 

    Though for 
    now 
    it 
    gives 
    you pain 

    It'll 
    fade 
    away 

    And you'll 
    Verse 13
    find 
    that as 
    the years 
    roll 
    by 

    The 
    memories 
    of 
    the 
    time 
    you cried 

    Will be 
    laid 
    away 

    Yes, 
    they'll 
    fade 
    away 

    Verse 14
    And you'll 
    forget 
    that 
    poor 

    damned 
    fool 

    'Cause 
    he 
    went 
    and let 
    you 
    go 
    now. 

    Just 
    poor 
    damned 
    fool. 

    He 
    never 
    will 
    know 
    now. 

    May
    be 
    someday 
    Verse 15
    he'll be 
    sad. 

    say 
    that that's 
    too 
    bad 

    He 
    never 
    knew how 
    much he 
    had. 

    I'm 
    glad 
    got 
    you now. 

    Verse 16

    He 
    was 
    poor 
    damn 
    fool.

    • 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.
