    O'Keefe 

    Carole 
    once 
    told 
    me 
    she 

    dreamed 
    she 
    was 
    pretty 

    And 
    lived 
    in 
    a 
    very 
    cool 
    part 
    of 
    the 
    city 

    With 
    a 
    man 
    who 
    came 
    home 

    every 
    evening 
    at 
    six 

    And 
    begged 
    her 
    to 
    play 
    him 
    country 
    licks 

    On 
    her 
    steel 
    guitar 

    Show 
    biz

    on her steel 
    guitar 

    Verse 2
    Her 
    Pa'd 
    been 
    a 

    welder 
    during 
    the 
    war 

    And he 
    played 
    country 
    music 

    every 
    night 
    till 
    four 

    With 
    some 
    drugstore 
    cowboys 

    who 
    could 
    pick 
    and 
    grin 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    let 
    it all 
    out 

    they'd 
    bring 
    it 
    back 
    in 

    On 
    a steel 
    guitar 

    They'd 
    go from 
    hell to 

    break
    fast on 
    a 
    steel 
    guitar 

    Verse 3
    He 
    taught 
    his 
    daughter 
    to 

    drink 
    whiskey 
    like 
    water 

    And 
    go 
    for 
    the 
    man 
    who had 

    something 
    to 
    offer 

    He 
    said 
    to 
    her, 
    Baby, 
    you 
    can 
    go 
    very 
    far 

    With 
    an 
    easy 
    laugh 
    and 
    a steel 
    gui
    tar 

    A 
    steel 
    guitar 

    You 
    don't 
    need 
    a man, 

    you 
    got a 
    steel 
    guitar

    she 
    tears 
    them 
    apart 

    With 
    her

    tar

    plays 
    country 
    music

    her dues 

    You 
    ought 
    drop 
    in 
    if you 

    got 
    nothing 
    to 
    lose 

    She 
    can steal 
    a guitar, 
    steal 
    a 
    heart 

    And they 
    come 
    every 
    night 
    to 
    get 
    torn 
    apart

      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.
