    Verse 1
    My 
    self 
    importance 
    is 
    god 
    forsaken 
    bore 

    aim 
    for 
    heaven 
    but 
    wake 

    up 
    on 
    the floor 

    I'd 
    take 
    up 
    with 
    rattlesnakes 

    to 
    get 
    my 
    point 
    across 

    I'd 
    argue 
    with 
    a parking 
    brake 
    to 

    show 
    em 
    who's 
    the 
    boss 

    It's 
    my 
    intention 
    to 
    inspire 

    In
    stead 
    I'm 
    preachin 
    to 
    the choir 

    Verse 2

    had 
    some 
    money 
    but 

    blew 
    it 
    living 
    high 

    My 
    wine 
    and 
    women 
    were 

    the 
    best 
    that 
    you 
    could 
    buy 

    tried 
    to 
    prove 
    myself 
    man 

    of 
    certain 
    taste 

    But 
    all 
    I've 
    got 
    to 
    show 
    you 

    now 
    is 
    written 
    on 
    my 
    face 

    I'm 
    not 
    someone 
    you'd 
    admire 
    but 
    I'm 
    still 
    preachin' 
    to 
    the 

    Interlude 1
    choir 





    Verse 3
    I'm 
    born 
    lion 
    but 
    don't 

    believe 
    it 
    fits 

    I'm 
    no 
    king 
    of 
    the 
    jungle 
    out 

    there 
    livin 
    by 
    my 
    wits 

    This 
    morn
    ing's 
    paper 
    called 

    for 
    ro
    mance 
    on 
    a whim 

    reckon 
    I'd 
    believe 
    em' 
    if 

    they 
    told 
    me 
    sink 
    or 
    swim 

    I'm 
    under 
    water 
    not 
    on 
    fire 
    but 
    I'm 
    still 

    preachin 
    to 
    the choir 


    Verse 4
    Baytown Texas 
    there's 
    fish

    er
    man 
    knew 

    He 
    read 
    the 
    bib
    le 
    and 
    he 

    spit 
    tobac
    co 
    too 

    He 
    said 
    that 
    crap 
    about 
    the 
    rod 

    you 
    spare 
    to spoil 
    the child 

    Is 
    only 
    propaganda 
    meant 

    to 
    keep 
    you 
    in 
    denial 

    Go 
    on 
    and 
    follow 
    your 
    desire 
    but 
    he 
    was 
    preachin 
    to 
    the choir 

    Interlude 2




    Verse 5
    Time 
    is 
    of 
    the 
    essence 
    when 
    you're 

    hanging 
    by 
    a thread 

    And 
    the 
    answer 
    to 
    your 
    questions 

    won't 
    unravel 
    in 
    your 
    head 

    When 
    you're 
    staring 
    at 
    forever 

    from 
    the 
    edge 
    of 
    life's 
    abyss 

    No 
    one's 
    gonna 
    tell 
    you 
    how 
    it 

    all 
    came 
    down 
    to 
    this 

    If 
    you 
    say 
    different 
    you're 
    liar 

    I'm 
    just 
    preachin' 
    to 
    the choir 

    Verse 6

    When 
    I'm 
    standing 
    at 
    the 
    St. 
    Peter's 

    gate 
    try
    ing 
    to slip 
    on 
    in

    might 
    as 
    well 
    plead 
    guilty 
    to 
    the 

    worst 
    of 
    who 
    I've 
    been 

    used 
    to 
    like 
    to 
    think 
    had 

    special 
    way 
    with 
    words 

    But 
    right 
    now 
    I'm 
    convinced 
    I've 
    more 
    in 
    common 

    with 
    the birds 


    I'm 
    not 
    ready 
    to 
    retire 
    I'll 
    keep 
    on 
    preachin 
    to 
    the 
    choir

    • 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.
