    do 
    you

    up with 
    a little 
    novelty 
    tune 
    called 


    Recipe 
    for 

    Heartache. 

    You 
    take 
    a little 
    cheatin' 
    here 
    and a 
    little cheat
    in' 
    there, 

    stay 
    out 
    late 
    with a 
    new day. 

    Have 
    little cheer 
    with another 
    round 
    of 
    beer, 

    that's 
    the recipe 
    for 
    heartache. 

    Well, 
    you 
    tell the 
    little gal 
    you're 
    with an 
    old pal 

    who's 
    celebrating 
    his 
    new 
    name
    sake 

    It's 
    not a 
    new birth, 

    but a 
    gal 
    that's 
    worth 
    another 
    chance 
    on 
    the heartache 

    Well, 
    an 
    old 
    girlfriend 
    happens 
    in 

    your 
    office 
    without 
    warning 

    The 
    good 
    times 
    start 
    with an 
    old 
    sweetheart 

    and 
    you 
    don't 
    get 
    home 
    till morning 

    You 
    can
    't 
    deny 
    your 
    wife's 
    reply, 

    your 
    lipstick 
    isn't 
    all 
    straight 

    You're 
    gon
    na 
    hear a 
    holler 
    about the 
    red 
    on your 
    collar, 

    that's the 
    recipe 
    for 
    a heartache. 



    Well 
    you 
    take a 
    slow train 

    and 
    not a 
    jet plane 

    Because 
    you 
    want 
    to go 

    on a full 
    moon 

    There's 
    a gal 
    you gotta see 

    in a 
    part 
    with me 

    And 
    you 
    really 
    think 
    that you 

    have pulled 
    a good 
    one 

    Comin' 
    home 
    from 
    a trip, 

    your 
    wife 
    is her 
    lips 

    Awaitin' 
    at the 
    door 
    all 
    puckered 

    You 
    got 
    a real 
    recipe 
    for 
    heartache 
    to be 

    If 
    you 
    call 
    him fed 
    all 
    tuckered 

    If 
    your 
    wife 
    is weary 
    when 
    you say 
    deary 

    gotta 
    make a 
    fast 
    connec
    tion 

    Assure 
    your 
    pet 
    that 
    it's 
    jet 

    With 
    turbine 
    fuel 
    injection 

    You 
    took 

    Lorraine 
    down 
    the 
    country 
    lane 

    Your 
    wife 
    caught 
    you in 
    the cane 
    break 

    You 
    couldn't 
    explain 
    about 
    raisin' 
    cane 

    And 
    that's 
    the recipe 
    for 
    heartache 

    So 
    live 
    it up, 
    don't 
    give 
    it up

    If 
    misery's 
    your favorite 
    cup 

    Then 
    lead 
    this life, 
    lose 
    your wife 

    That's 
    the recipe 
    for 
    heartache 

    Well, 
    there 
    it is, 
    friends. 

    Thank 
    you 
    very 
    much.

    • 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.
