    I 
    was 
    born 
    on the north 
    side 
    of 
    a 
    Verse 1
    mid- 
    western 
    town 

    There was 
    nine 
    of us 
    living 
    in 
    a 

    three- bedroom 
    house, 
    yeah 

    Did
    n't have 
    much 
    money 
    but 

    we 
    made 
    do 

    'Cause 
    mama 
    worked 
    all 
    day long 

    and 
    daddy 
    did 
    too 

    Verse 2
    Did 
    all 
    they 
    could, 

    made 
    sure 
    we 
    had 
    clothes 
    and 
    food 

    Went 
    to public 
    schools 
    and 
    we 

    followed 
    public 
    rules 

    We 
    used 
    second 
    hand 
    books, 
    but 
    oh, 

    I didn't 
    mind 
    the books 

    Mama 
    taught 
    us 
    early 
    in 
    life 

    Everybody's 
    gotta 
    struggle 
    sometime 

    Verse 3
    Bring 
    back 
    those 
    simple

    meant 

    And you

    named 
    Bobby, 
    Verse 5

    who always 
    kept 
    his 
    word 

    We 
    went through 
    schoolyard 
    fights, 

    had 
    a 
    thing 
    for 
    pretty 
    girls, 
    yeah 

    Didn't 
    cost 
    much 
    money 
    to 

    see 
    the 
    picture 
    show 

    So 
    we 
    hopped 
    the 
    bus 

    into 
    town 

    That's where 
    all 
    the girlies 

    used 
    to go 
    sit 

    Verse 6
    Fifty 
    cents 
    would 
    buy 
    us 
    yeah, 

    popcorn 
    for 
    two 

    'Cause 
    Bobby's 
    girl, 
    she worked 
    there 

    And 
    some
    times 
    she'd 

    break 
    the rules, 
    yes 

    And 
    picnics 
    in the summer 

    would
    n't wake 
    up 
    'til 
    noon 

    And 
    even 
    though 
    Bobby's 
    gone 
    now 

    I can 
    still 
    hear 
    him laugh 

    in the 
    middle 
    of 
    June

      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.

      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.
