    Solo 2





    Verse 4
    Brenda 
    and 
    Eddie 
    were 
    the 
    popular 
    steadys 

    And 
    the 
    king 
    and 
    the 
    queen 
    of 
    the 
    prom 

    Riding 
    around 
    with 
    the 
    car 
    top 
    down 

    and 
    the 
    radio 
    on 

    Nobody 
    looked 
    any 
    finer 

    Or 
    was 
    more 
    of 
    hit 
    at 
    the 
    Parkway 
    Diner 

    We 
    never 
    knew 
    we 
    could 
    want 
    more 
    than 
    that 

    out 
    of 
    life 

    Surely 
    Brenda 
    and 
    Eddie 

    Would 
    always 
    know 
    how 
    to 
    sur
    vive 



    Verse 5
    Brenda 
    and 
    Eddie 
    were 
    still 
    going 
    steady 

    in 
    the 
    summer 
    of 
    '75 

    When 
    they 
    decided 

    the 
    marriage 
    would 
    be 
    at 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    July 

    Everyone 
    said 
    they 
    were 
    crazy 

    Brenda 
    you 
    know 
    you're 
    much 
    too 
    lazy 

    And 
    Eddie 
    could 
    never 
    af
    ford 

    to 
    live 
    that 
    kind 
    of 
    life 

    But 
    there 
    we 
    were 
    wavin' 

    Brenda 
    and 
    Eddie 
    good
    bye 

    Bridge 2
    They 
    got 
    an 
    apartment 
    with 
    deep 
    pile 
    carpet 

    And 
    couple 
    of 
    paintings 
    from 
    Sears 

    big 
    waterbed 

    that 
    they 
    bought 
    with 
    the 
    bread 

    They 
    had 
    saved 
    for 
    couple 
    of 
    years 

    They 
    started 
    to 
    fight 

    when 
    the 
    money 
    got 
    tight 

    And 
    they 
    just 
    didn't 
    count 
    on 
    the 
    tears 


    Solo 3





    Bridge 3
    They 
    lived 
    for 
    while 
    in 
    very 
    nice 
    style 

    But 
    it's 
    always 
    the 
    same 
    in 
    the 
    end 

    They 
    got 
    divorce 
    as 
    matter 
    of 
    course 

    And 
    they 
    parted 
    the 
    closest 
    of 
    friends 

    Then 
    the 
    king 
    and 
    the 
    queen 

    went 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    green 

    But 
    you 
    can 
    never 
    go 
    back 
    there 
    a
    gain 


    Verse 6
    Brenda 
    and 
    Eddie 
    had 
    had 
    it 
    already 

    by 
    the 
    summer 
    of 
    '75 

    From 
    the 
    high 
    to 
    the 
    low 

    to 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    the 
    show 

    For 
    the 
    rest 
    of 
    their 
    lives 

    They 
    couldn't 
    go 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    greasers 

    The 
    best 
    they 
    could 
    do 

    was 
    pick 
    up 
    the 
    pieces 

    We 
    always 
    knew 
    they 
    would 
    both 

    find 
    way 
    to 
    get 
    by 

    That's 
    all 
    heard 
    about 
    Brenda 
    and 
    Eddie 

    Can't 
    tell 
    you 
    more 
    than 
    told 
    you 
    already 

    And 
    here 
    we 
    are 
    wavin' 

    Brenda 
    And 
    Eddie 
    good
    bye

    • 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.
