    Verse 1
    My 
    wife 
    used 
    to say 

    she couldn't 
    understand 

    Why 
    I make 
    my 
    living 
    working 

    with 
    my 
    hand
    s 

    She 
    met 
    a junk 
    bond 
    daddy 
    and 

    he 
    broke 
    up 
    my 
    home 

    He 
    made 
    his 
    living 
    on 
    the 

    telephone 

    Verse 2

    Daddy 
    spied 
    my 
    darling 
    and 

    he dialed 
    her 
    number 
    then 

    They 
    took 
    off 
    next 
    morning 
    and 

    she 
    won't 
    he 
    back 
    again 

    I 
    might 
    not 
    be 
    good 
    looking 
    and 

    I never 
    been 
    to school 

    But 
    I 
    patched 
    up 
    my 
    broken 

    home 
    using 
    simple 
    tools 

    Verse 3
    Simple 
    tools, 
    simple 
    tools, 

    I 
    like 
    simple 
    tools 

    I'm 
    just 
    a common 
    ordinary 
    work
    aday 
    fool 

    I 
    might 
    not 
    be 
    the 
    brightest 

    bulb 
    or 
    the straightest 
    route 

    But 
    I 
    can 
    mend 
    my 
    broken 

    heart 
    using 
    simple 
    tools 

    And I 
    can talk 
    to girls 
    in bars, 

    well 
    maybe 
    a few 

    We'd 
    drink 
    a little 
    glass 

    of wine 
    or 
    may
    be 
    two 

    I 
    might 
    wake 
    up 
    in 
    gay 
    Paree 
    or 

    good old 
    San 
    Berdoo 

    The gals 
    appreciate 
    a man 
    that 

    uses 
    simple 
    tools 

    Verse 4

    I won't 
    be 
    walking 
    'round 
    all 
    night, 

    wonderin' 
    what 
    to do 

    I 
    won't 
    be 
    calling 
    up 
    the morgue 

    askin' 
    for 
    you 

    Or 
    beating 
    down 
    these 
    memories 

    with one 
    of 
    your 
    old 
    shoes 

    I 
    can 
    do 
    the 
    job 
    in half

    • 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.”
