    • Verse 1
    Don't 
    give 
    your 
    money, 

    not one 
    penny spent 

    To 
    learn 
    the secret 
    of your 
    life, my 
    friend 

    One 
    little hair 
    divides 
    the false and 
    true, 

    And 
    on that 
    little hair 
    it 
    starts 
    and 
    ends. 

    One 
    hair, 
    I guess, 

    divides 
    the false and 
    true, 

    The false and 
    true. 

    Find 
    this one 
    hair, 

    no matter what 
    you 
    do, 

    What you 
    do. 

    this 
    hair will 
    lead you 
    to the 
    drinking 
    room 

    and 
    to the 
    wives of 
    your great 

    landlord 
    too. 
    I 
    rolled in 
    pain down 
    on 

    that sawdust 
    floor the 
    drinking floor 
    I 

    prayed to 
    heaven 
    to open its 
    golden 
    door 
    I 

    groaned 
    and yelled how 
    long 
    must I roll 

    You 
    must roll 
    here till 
    you are 
    you no 
    more 

    I 
    wasted 
    lots of 
    hours in 
    a hot pursuit 

    Of 
    this and 
    that argument 
    and 
    dis
    pute 

    Better 
    to 
    kiss the 
    lip with 
    laughing 
    grapes 

    Than 
    eat
    ing 
    sad, 
    or proud, 

    or bitter fruit 
    I'm 
    glad I 
    went off 
    on my 
    big carouse 

    And 
    took my 
    second wife 

    into 
    my 
    house 

    Divorced 
    old 
    dried 
    -up reason 

    out of my 
    bed 

    Took 
    this 
    daughter 
    of the 
    vine to 
    spouse 

    What 
    is 
    and isn't I 
    prove by 
    rule and 
    line 

    And 
    up and 
    down by 
    logic 
    I define 
    I 

    guess you 
    thought I 
    was a 
    deep wise 
    man 

    I 
    nev
    er went 
    deep 
    in anything 
    but 
    wine 

    My 
    drinkin' 
    door eased 
    open 
    last night 

    I 
    saw 
    a 
    lady with 
    an 
    angel 
    shape 

    She 
    handed 
    me a 
    glass of 
    wisdom 
    juice 

    I 
    drank it 
    down and 
    found that 

    the juice was 
    great. 

    This 
    grapey 
    juice can 

    prove 
    a billion things, 

    Can 
    make our 
    racial 
    haters 
    dance in 
    rings, 

    Can 
    make our 
    seventy -two 

    fighting 
    priests and 
    princes 

    Sing 
    sinful songs 
    and 
    tease my 

    king and 
    queen, 

    Queens and 
    kings both. 

    Would 

    God grow 
    my good 
    wine, 

    then would he 
    dare, he 
    wouldn't 
    dare, 

    To 
    make my 
    viney 
    grape a 

    trap and 
    a 
    snare? 

    I'd 
    drink my 
    wine 
    and bless your 

    sweet red 
    mouth, 

    If 
    wine's 
    a curse, 

    well, then who 
    set it 
    there? 

    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

      "

      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.
