  • Verse 1
    Up 
    in 
    your nephew's 
    room, 

    playing 
    on 
    his cousin's 
    guitar 

    wrote 
    a song 
    for 
    you 

    You 
    have 
    done 
    drove 
    off 

    with everything 
    need 

    My 
    box 
    and my 
    tumble
    weed 

    Verse 2
    picked 
    it up 
    on 
    the way 

    to Flag
    staff 
    years 
    ago 

    I was 
    hanging 
    on 
    to 
    everything 

    you 
    had 
    the 
    grace 
    to show 

    Verse 3
    You 
    were young 
    and you were 

    hungry 

    Lord knows 
    was 
    hungry 
    too 

    We were 
    both 
    flat- 
    out starving 

    For something 
    worthwhile 

    Interlude 1
    to 
    lose 



    Verse 4
    Looking 
    over 
    the 
    hill 
    at 

    the lights 
    of your 
    hometown 

    wrote 
    this song 
    for 
    you 

    Thinking 
    of 
    the way 
    we 
    met, 

    a girl 
    home 
    from 
    school 

    An
    d a 
    boy 
    just 
    passing 
    through 

    Verse 5
    got 
    a job 
    as 
    cut 
    man 

    at a house 
    just 
    down 
    the 
    road 

    had 
    never 
    been 
    to 
    town 
    before, 

    and I 
    didn't 
    know 
    soul 

    Verse 6
    was young 
    and I was 
    hungry 

    Lord knows 
    you were 
    hungry 
    too 

    We were 
    both 
    flat- 
    out 
    starving 

    For something 
    worthwhile 
    to lose 

    You were 
    my 
    bread 
    and I was 
    your 
    honey 

    Up 
    against 
    the dark 
    red 
    wine 

    Trying 
    to hold 
    on 
    to 
    the 
    lovely 

    Through 
    the 
    bitter 
    of 
    our 
    times 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 7
    Agate 
    white 
    wedding 
    dress, 

    and tur
    quoise 
    on 
    your 
    ring 

    Upright 
    bass 
    and 
    violin 

    as you walk 
    the 
    aisle 
    to me 

    Verse 8
    was young 
    and I was 
    hungry 

    Lord knows 
    you 
    were 
    hungry 
    too 

    We were 
    both 
    flat- 
    out

    • 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.
