    Verse 1
    I was 
    in 
    a country 
    band 
    in the 

    1970s 

    One night 
    we 
    had 
    a 
    flat 
    on the van, 

    on the 
    way 
    out to 
    Tennessee 

    Asked 
    an old 
    mechanic, 

    name 
    of John
    son, 
    for 
    some air 

    And 
    everybody 
    called 

    him "Socrates" 


    Verse 2
    "Hey, 
    what's 
    goin' 
    on?" 

    "Not 
    much 
    of nothin', 

    how 'bout 
    you?" 

    And 
    that's 
    the way 
    it's done 

    in 
    our hometown 

    He could 
    talk 
    a stream 
    of nonsense, 

    just 
    as 
    pretty 
    as 
    you 
    please 

    And 
    everybody 
    called 
    him "Socrates" 

    Verse 3
    He 
    said, 
    "Fame 
    and fortune 
    are eas
    ily 
    confused, 

    as 
    are luck 
    and destiny 

    Are you 
    bein' 
    loved, 
    boys, 

    or 
    bein' 
    used? 
    Runnin' 
    wild 
    or bein' 
    free?" 

    He 
    said, "The 
    answers 
    to 
    your 
    ques
    tions 

    are more 
    questions 
    such 
    as these" 

    And 
    everybody 
    called 
    him "Socrates" 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    I 
    got to 
    know 
    him well, 

    I 
    even 
    worked 
    with him 
    a while 

    He had 
    an old 
    gui
    tar 
    we'd pass 

    around 
    once 
    in 
    a while 

    I never 
    will 
    forget 
    the last 

    few 
    words 
    he said 
    to me 

    When I 
    finally 
    quit old 
    Socrates 

    Verse 5
    "Do you 
    know 
    what 
    you are 

    capable 
    of know
    ing? 

    Do your 
    hands, 
    son, 

    ever 
    touch 
    the soil? 

    And do you 
    love 
    all 
    that 
    you 

    are 
    capable 
    of lov
    in'? 

    And 
    do you 
    want 
    me 
    to 

    check 
    that 
    oil?" 

    Everybody 
    called 

    him "Socrates" 

    Verse 6

    Yeah, the 
    Christians 
    found 
    him crazy 

    And the 
    derelicts 
    agreed 

    But 
    everybody 
    called 
    him 

    Everybody 
    called 
    him 

    Everybody 
    called 

    him 




    "Socrates"

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
