    Summer, 
    summer, 

    summer
    time 

    Time 
    to 
    sit 
    back 
    and 
    un
    wind 

    (summertime) 

    Verse 1
    Here 
    it 
    is 
    groove 
    slightly 
    trans
    formed 

    Just 
    bit 
    of 
    break 
    from 
    the 
    norm 

    Just 
    little 
    somethin' 
    to 
    break 
    the 
    monotony 

    Of 
    all 
    that 
    hardcore 
    dance 

    that 
    has 
    gotten 
    to 
    be 

    little 
    bit 
    out 
    of 
    control, 
    it's 
    cool 
    to 
    dance 

    But 
    what 
    about 
    the 
    groove 

    that 
    soothes 
    that 
    moves 
    romance 

    Give 
    me 
    soft 
    subtle 
    mix 

    And 
    if 
    ain't 
    broke 
    then 
    don't 
    try 
    to 
    fix 
    it 

    And 
    think 
    of 
    the 
    summers 
    of 
    the 
    past 

    Ad
    just 
    the 
    bass 
    and 
    let 
    the 
    Alpine 
    blast 

    Pop 
    in 
    my 
    CD 
    and 
    let 
    me 
    run 
    rhyme 

    And 
    put 
    your 
    car 
    on 
    cruise 

    Chorus 1
    and 
    lay 
    back 
    'cause 
    this 
    is 

    (summertime) 

    Summer, 
    summer, 
    summer
    time 

    (ooh, 
    summertime) 

    Time 
    to 
    sit 
    back 
    and 
    un
    wind 

    (time 
    to 
    sit 
    back 
    and 
    un
    wind) 

    Summer, 
    summer, 
    summer
    time 

    (summertime) 

    Time 
    to 
    sit 
    back 
    and 
    un
    wind 

    (time 
    to 
    sit 
    back 
    and 
    un
    wind) 

    Summer, 
    summer, 
    summer
    time 

    (summertime) 

    Time 
    to 
    sit 
    back 
    and 
    un
    wind 

    (time 
    to 
    sit 
    back 
    and...) 

    Verse 2
    School 
    is 
    out 
    and 
    it's 
    sort 
    of 
    buzz 

    But 
    back 
    then 
    didn't 
    really

    Or 
    in 
    your 
    Nissan

    Back

    Guys 
    out

    and 
    girls 
    doin' 
    likewise 

    Honkin' 
    at

    honey 

    in

    She

    around 
    to 
    see 

    what

    at 

    It's 
    like 
    the 
    summer's 
    nat
    ural 
    aphrodisiac 

    And 
    with 
    pen 
    and 
    pad 
    compose 
    this 
    rhyme 

    To 
    hit

    and 
    get 
    you 
    equipped 

    Chorus 2

    summer 

    Summer,

    Verse 3
    It's 
    late 
    in 
    the 
    day 

    and 
    ain't 
    been 
    on 
    the 
    court 
    yet 

    Hustle 
    to 
    the 
    mall 
    to 
    get 
    me 
    short 
    set 

    Yeah, 
    got 
    on 
    sneaks 
    but 
    need 
    new 
    pair 

    'Cause 
    basketball 
    courts 
    in 
    the 
    summer 

    got 
    girls 
    there 

    The 
    temperature's

    Hop 
    in

    times 
    sake 

    Break 
    to

    once 
    more 

    'Cause 
    you're 
    in
    vited 
    to 
    barbecue 

    that's 
    startin' 
    at 
    four 

    Sittin' 
    with 
    your 
    friends 
    as 
    y'all 
    reminisce 

    About 
    the 
    days 
    growin' 
    up 

    and 
    the 
    first 
    person 
    you 
    kissed 

    And 
    as 
    think 
    back 
    makes 
    me 
    wonder 
    how 

    The 
    smell 
    from 
    grill 
    could 
    spark 
    up 
    nostalgia 

    All 
    the 
    kids 
    playin' 
    out 
    front 

    Little 
    boys 
    messin' 
    'round 

    with 
    the 
    girls 
    playing 
    double-dutch 

    While 
    the 
    DJ's 
    spinnin' 
    tune 

    as 
    the 
    old 
    folks 
    dance 

    at 
    your 
    family 
    reunion 

    Then 
    six 
    o'clock 
    rolls 
    around 

    You 
    just 
    finished 
    wipin' 
    your 
    car 
    down 

    It's 
    time 
    to 
    cruise 

    so 
    you 
    go 
    to 
    the 
    summertime 
    hangout 

    It 
    looks 
    like 
    car 
    show 

    Everybody 
    come 
    lookin' 
    real 
    fine 

    Fresh 
    from 
    the 
    barber 
    shop 
    or 

    fly 
    from 
    the 
    beauty 
    salon 

    Every 
    moment 
    frontin' 
    and 
    maxin' 

    Chillin' 
    in 
    the 
    car 
    they 
    spent 
    all 
    day 
    waxin' 

    Leanin' 
    to 
    the 
    side 

    but 
    you 
    can't 
    speed 
    through 

    Two 
    miles 
    an 
    hour, 
    so 
    everybody 
    sees 
    you 

    There's 
    an 
    air 
    of 
    love 
    and 
    of 
    happiness 

    And 
    this 
    is 
    the 
    Fresh 
    Prince's 

    new 
    definition 
    of 
    summer

    • 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.
