    B

    This is the way it goes.
    Em

    Sometimes you're flush
    B

    and sometimes you're bust

    and when you're up,

    it's never as good as it seems
    Em

    and when you're down

    you never think you're going

    to be up again.
    B

    But life goes on.
    Em
    Bsus4
    B
    Em

    Remember that.

    Smokey got his name

    from a teacher in grade five

    for coming to school with bloodshot.

    Graze dies by year nine,

    plays with his crew until

    late night.

    Cause home life
    D
    Em

    Filled him full of rage like J -Life

    Fighting with his drunken mother

    Sharing a room in a flap

    With his three younger brothers

    There was no way

    Smokey could last another summer
    B
    Bsus4

    All day racked his brain
    A

    for scams to discover
    Em

    Till it paid off

    His uncle grew plants under shade cloth

    Within a thought Smokey

    went lower than Adolf

    Next he leaves his crew

    but doesn't give an address
    D

    He doesn't trust the soul,

    for him it's life or death
    Em

    And he could really care

    less about the consequence

    Every cent of his spend

    on what his uncle injects

    And Smokey's done his prep,

    left nothing a chance
    D

    On the night gives plan B's
    Em

    and draws diagrams

    He's even stole some of his

    stepfather's Rohypnol

    In case he needs to drug his
    Bsus4
    B

    uncle's pitbull
    Em

    Mission complete

    Car boot full of weed

    for the first time in months

    Smokey looks relieved,

    in a couple weeks

    He'd have a whole new life
    D

    Before he left paid rent
    Em

    and bought his brothers two bikes

    In a few nights from moving,

    business is booming

    Smokey's got the natural

    born hustlers accumin'

    But now his customers

    and crew hang at his house
    B
    D

    Playing computer games all day,
    Em

    blaze on the couch

    No time for self,

    or the peace of mind

    he thought he might find

    with wealth

    Smokey's back for square one

    Dealin' with paranoia,

    beatin' like a snare drum
    D

    Feelin' like he's runnin'
    F#m

    on an empty spare lung
    Em

    Sick of traffic hotter

    than a fireman's red truck

    Smokey closes shop

    and buys a hydro set -top
    Bsus4
    B
    Em

    Business goes on, as usual

    Going for a direct cut,

    things improve

    He's looking staunch hitting gym

    and eating good food

    He even does a course as

    a real estate rep
    D

    Only to learn work requires
    Em

    a police record check

    Oh well, he doesn't sweat

    on the cards like plays

    Soon harvest marks the end

    of his disparity phase

    It's been three months,

    he ain't been seen once
    D

    He doesn't wanna look at those
    Em

    he loves speaking in tongues

    He knows what he wants,

    but what it takes is secrecy

    His mental bandwidths, a solitary frequency

    So when it's time to pull crop,

    no screw around
    D

    Moves the lot first day,
    F#m

    in multiple pounds
    Em

    Then heads in town

    for a cheap four wheel drive

    A new PC and KX125

    He's off to surprise fam

    with 12 grand in his bum bag
    Bsus4
    B

    A deposit for a home loan,
    A

    sure to make his mum glad
    Em

    Rushing on a motion approaching

    his old streets

    When a block away he's shot

    by the sound of police

    Alation turns to panic realising mistakes
    D

    Oh no, fuck no, license or P -plates
    Em

    Up shit creek,

    down windin' with no sails

    Desperately tryin' to recall

    a mate's details

    If he fails, it ain't a white -collar crime

    Lucky the cop's blind,
    D

    hands him a hundred -dollar fine
    Em

    Smokey pulls away,

    screamin' yes under his hot breath

    Feelin' like he's just crossed

    Times Square as Loch Ness

    Home safe, more bounce at

    his step than Spud Webb
    D

    Smokey live happily ever after,
    Em

    • 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.
