    Verse 1
    Darkest 
    of 
    night 
    with

    shining 
    bright 

    There's 
    set 
    goin' 
    strong 

    Lotta 
    things 
    goin' 
    on 

    The 
    man 
    of 
    the 
    hour 
    has 
    an 
    air 
    of 
    great 
    power 

    The 
    dudes 
    have 
    envied 
    him 
    for 
    so 
    long 

    Chorus 1
    Oh, 
    superfly 

    You're 
    gonna 
    make 
    your

    by 
    and 
    by 

    But

    Verse 2
    Hard 
    to 
    understand 

    What 
    hell 
    of 
    man 

    This 
    cat 
    of 
    the 
    slum 

    Had 
    mind, 
    wasn't 
    dumb 

    But 
    weakness 
    was 
    shown 

    'Cause 
    his 
    hustle 
    was 
    wrong 

    His 
    mind 
    was 
    his 
    own 

    But 
    the 
    man 
    lived 
    alone

    Ooh,

    Interlude 1
    Woo, 
    superfly 


    Verse 3
    The 
    aim 
    of 
    his 
    role 

    Was 
    to 
    move 
    lot 
    of 
    blow 

    Ask 
    him 
    his 
    dream 

    What 
    does 
    it 
    mean? 

    He 
    wouldn't 
    know 

    "Can't 
    be 
    like 
    the 
    rest" 

    Is 
    the 
    most 
    he'll 
    confess 

    But 
    the 
    time's 
    running 
    out 

    And 
    there's 
    no 
    happiness 

    Chorus 3
    Ooh, 
    superfly 

    You're 
    gonna 
    make 
    your 
    fortune 
    by 
    and 
    by 

    But 
    if 
    you

    • 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.
