    • Verse 1
    I can 
    still 
    remember 

    when 
    I bought 
    my first 
    guitar 

    Remember 
    just 
    how good 
    the feeling 
    was, 

    put 
    it proudly 
    in 
    my car 

    And my 
    family 
    listened 
    fifty 
    times 

    to my 
    two song 
    reper
    toire 

    And 
    I 
    told 
    my 
    mum 
    her 
    only 
    son 

    was 
    gonna 
    be 
    a star 

    Bought 
    all 
    the 
    Beatle records, 

    sounded 
    just 
    like 
    Paul 

    Bought 
    all 
    the 
    old Chuck 
    Berry's, 

    's 
    and all 

    And I 
    sat 
    by my 
    record 
    player, 

    playin' 
    every 
    note 
    they played 

    And 
    I watched 
    them 
    all 
    on TV, 

    makin 
    every 
    move 
    they made 

    Verse 2
    Rock 
    and 
    roll, 

    I gave 
    you 
    all 
    the be
    st years 
    of 
    my 
    life 

    All the 
    dreamy 
    sunny 
    Sundays, 

    all 
    the 
    moon- 
    lit summer 
    night
    s 

    I was 
    so 
    busy 
    in 
    the back 
    room 

    writin' 
    love 
    songs 
    to you 

    While 
    you were 
    chan
    gin' 
    your 
    direction 

    and you 
    never 
    even 
    knew 

    That I 
    was al
    ways, 

    just 
    one 
    step 
    behind 
    you 

    Verse 3
    ' seemed 
    like 
    the year 
    I 
    was 

    really 
    goin' 
    somewhere 

    We were 
    living 
    in San 
    Francisco, 

    with 
    flowers 
    in 
    our hair 

    Singing 
    songs 
    of kindness 
    so 

    the world 
    would 
    understand 

    But the guys 
    and me were something 

    more 
    than just 
    another band 

    And 
    then 
    ' in LA, came 

    around so 
    soon 

    We were 
    really making 
    headway 

    and writing 
    lot
    s of tunes 

    And we must 
    have 
    played the wildest 
    stuff we 

    had 
    ever played 

    The way the crowds 
    cried out for us, we 

    thought we had it 
    made 

    Verse 4
    Rock 
    and 
    roll, 
    I gave 
    you 
    all 
    the be

    st 
    years 
    of 
    my 
    life 

    All the 
    crazy 
    lazy 
    young 
    days, 

    all 
    the 
    magic 
    moon- 
    lit 
    night
    s 

    I 
    was 
    so 
    busy 
    on 
    the road 
    singin' 

    love 
    songs 
    to you 

    While 
    you were 
    chan
    gin' 
    your 
    direction, 

    and you 
    never 
    even 
    knew 

    That 
    I was 
    al
    ways, 

    just 
    one 
    step 
    be
    hind 
    you 

    Verse 5
    ' 
    in Soho, 
    when 
    I 
    saw 
    Suzan
    ne 

    I was 
    trying 
    to go 
    it 
    solo, 

    with 
    someone 
    else's 
    band 

    And she 
    came 
    up 
    to me 
    later 
    and 

    I 
    tooke 
    her 
    by 
    the hand 

    And 
    I told her all 
    my troubles 
    and she 

    seemed 
    to un
    derstand 

    And she 
    followed 
    me 
    through London, 

    through 
    a 
    hundred 
    hotel 
    rooms 

    Throught a 
    hundred 
    record 
    companies 

    who 
    didn't 
    like 
    my 
    tun
    es 

    And 
    she 
    followed 
    me 
    when, 

    finally, 
    I sold 
    my old 
    guitar 

    And 
    she 
    tried to 
    help me 
    understand, 

    I'd 
    never 
    be 
    a 
    star 

    Verse 6
    Rock 
    and 
    roll, 

    I gave 
    you 
    all 
    the be
    st years 
    of 
    my 
    life 

    All the 
    dreamy 
    sunny 
    Sundays, 

    all 
    the 
    moon- 
    lit summer 
    night
    s 

    And though 
    I 
    never 
    knew 
    the magic 

    of 
    makin' 
    it with 
    you 

    Thank the 
    Lord for 
    giving me 

    the little bit 
    I knew 

    And 
    I will always 
    be 
    one 

    step 
    behind 
    you 

    Verse 7
    Rock and 
    roll, I 
    gave 
    you all 

    the best years 
    of my life 

    Singing 
    out 
    my love songs 
    in 

    the brightly 
    flashing lights 

    And 
    though I never 
    knew the magic 

    of 
    makin' 
    it with you 

    Thank 
    the Lord 
    for giving 

    me the little bit 
    I knew 

    Verse 8
    Rock 
    and 
    roll, 
    I gave 
    you 
    all

    of 
    my 
    life 

    All the dreamy sunny 
    Sundays, all 

    the 
    moon- lit 
    summer nights 

    I 
    was so busy 
    in the 
    back 
    room 

    makin' love songs 
    to you 

    While 
    you were changin' your 
    direction, 

    and you never 
    even knew 

    That I was always, just one step behind you

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
