    Verse 1
    Well, you 
    can 
    stake 

    that 
    claim 

    Good 
    work 
    is 
    the 
    key 
    to 

    good 
    for
    tune 

    Winners 
    take 
    that 
    praise 

    Losers 
    seldom 
    take 
    that 
    blame 

    Verse 2

    If 
    they don't 
    take 
    that 
    game 

    And 
    sometimes 
    the winner 
    takes 
    nothing 

    We 
    draw 
    our 
    own 
    designs 

    But 
    fortune 
    has 
    to make 
    that 
    frame 

    Verse 3


    We 
    go 
    out 
    in 
    the world 
    and 

    take 
    our 
    chances 

    Fate 
    is 
    just 
    the weight 
    of 
    circum
    stances 

    That's 
    the 
    way 

    that 
    Lady 
    Luck 
    dances 

    Roll 
    the bones 

    Roll 
    the bones 


    Verse 4
    Why 
    are 
    we here? 

    Because 
    we're 
    here 

    Roll 
    the bones 

    Verse 5
    Roll 
    the bones 

    Why 
    does 
    it 
    happen? 

    Because 
    it happens 

    Roll 
    the 
    bones 

    Interlude 1
    Roll 
    the bones 



    Verse 6
    Faith 
    is 
    cold 
    as 
    ice 

    Why 
    are 
    little 
    ones 
    born 
    only 
    to suffer 

    For 
    the 
    want 
    of 
    immunity 

    Or 
    a bowl 
    of 
    rice? 

    Verse 7

    Well, 
    who would 
    hold 
    price 

    On 
    the 
    heads 
    of 
    the 
    innocent 
    children 

    If 
    there's 
    some 
    immortal 
    power 

    To 
    con
    trol 
    the 
    dice? 

    Verse 8

    We 
    come 
    into 
    the world 

    and 
    take 
    our 
    chances 

    Fate 
    is 
    just 
    the weight 
    of 
    circum
    stances 

    That's 
    the 
    way 

    that 
    lady 
    luck 
    dances 

    Roll 
    the bones 

    Roll 
    the bones 


    Verse 9
    Why 
    are 
    we here? 

    Because 
    we're 
    here 

    Roll 
    the bones 

    Verse 10
    Roll 
    the bones 

    Why 
    does 
    it happen? 

    Because 
    it happens 

    Roll 
    the 
    bones 

    Verse 11
    Roll the 
    bones 

    Why 
    are 
    we here? 

    Because 
    we're 
    here 

    Roll 
    the bones 

    Roll 
    the bones 

    Why 
    does 
    it 
    happen? 

    Interlude 2



    Jack, relax 
    Get 
    Verse 12

    busy 
    with the facts 

    No 
    zodi
    acs 
    or 
    almanacs 

    No 
    maniac
    in 
    polyester slacks 

    Just 
    the facts 

    Gonna 
    kick 
    some 
    gluteus max 

    It's 
    a parallax, 
    you 
    dig? 

    You 
    move 
    around 

    The 
    small 
    gets 
    big, 
    it's 
    a rig 

    It's 
    action, 
    reaction 

    Random 
    interaction 

    So 
    who's 
    afraid 

    Of a 
    little abstraction? 

    Can't 
    get 
    no satisfaction 

    From the 
    facts? 

    You 
    better 
    run, 
    homeboy 

    A fact's 
    a fact 

    From 
    Nome to 
    Rome, 
    boy 

    What's 
    the deal? Spin 
    the wheel 
    If the 
    Verse 13

    dice 
    are hot, 
    take a 
    shot 

    Play your card
    s, show 

    us what 
    you 
    got 

    What 
    you're 
    holding 

    If 
    the 
    cards 
    are 
    cold 

    Don't 
    go folding 

    Lady 
    Luck is golden 

    She fa
    vors 
    the bold, 
    that's 
    cold 

    Stop 
    throwing 
    stones 

    The night 
    has a 
    thousand 
    saxophones 

    So 
    get 
    out 
    there 
    and rock

    • 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.
