    Verse 1
    Take 
    little 
    slow 
    resentment 

    An 
    ounce 
    of 
    small 
    regret 

    Half 
    cup 
    of 
    wounded 
    pride 

    If 
    it 
    hurts 
    inside, 
    it has 
    not 
    faded 
    yet 

    Add 
    pinch 
    of 
    passion 

    And 
    double 
    shot 
    of 
    booze 

    When 
    your 
    self 
    respect 
    is crashin' 

    You 
    can 
    drink 
    it 
    up 
    and you 
    can 
    cash 
    in

    All 
    the 
    blues 

    All 
    the 
    blues 




    Ain't 
    it 
    funny 
    how 
    the 
    sunnyside 

    Will 
    never 
    reach 
    my 
    shadow 

    in 
    the shade 

    Ain't 
    it 
    funny 
    how 
    the 
    colors 

    Seem 
    the 
    brightest 
    just 
    before 
    they 

    Start 
    to fade 

    If 
    you 
    say 
    that 
    ain't 
    funny 

    If 
    you 
    say 
    you're 
    not 
    amused 

    I'll 
    say 
    ain't 
    surprised 

    My 
    sense 
    of 
    humor 
    is 
    paralyzed 

    By 
    the 
    blues 

    By 
    the 
    blues 


    How 
    long 
    I've 
    got 
    to 
    wait 

    I'm 
    running 
    late 

    Somebody 
    help 
    me 
    soon 

    Get 
    me 
    out 
    from 
    under 
    all 

    It's 
    wonder 

    I'm 
    on 
    this 
    side 
    of 
    the tomb 

    Oh 
    but 
    the 
    preacher 
    teaches 
    patience 

    In 
    the 
    ancient 
    sense 

    And 
    it 
    stretches 
    out 
    for years 

    can't 
    stand 
    to 
    listen 

    can't 
    see 
    beyond 
    this 

    glistening 
    of 
    tears 

    It's 
    never 
    nice 
    to 
    hear 
    advice 

    You 
    know 
    you'll 
    never 
    use 

    The spirit 
    might 
    be 
    willin' 

    But 
    the 
    flesh 
    is 
    out 
    there 

    It's 
    shillin' 
    for 
    the blues 


    For 
    the 
    blues 

    It's 
    never 
    nice 
    to 
    hear 
    advice 

    You 
    know 
    you'll 
    never 
    use 

    The 
    spirit 
    might 
    be 
    willin' 

    But 
    the flesh 
    is 
    out 
    there 

    And 
    it's 
    shillin' 
    for 
    the 
    blues 

    Blues 

    For 
    the blues

    • 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.
