    Verse 1

    Last 
    week 
    I 

    attended 
    a family 
    affair 
    & 

    A 
    few 
    remarked 
    upon 
    my 
    recent 

    growth 
    of 
    facial 
    hair 

    You look 
    just 
    like 
    your father 
    did 

    With 
    that 
    beard 
    someone 
    said 

    I 
    answered 
    back 
    I 
    am 
    him 
    even 

    though 
    my old 
    man's 
    dead 

    I 
    didn't 
    want 
    to be 
    him 

    will 
    at first 
    I 
    did 

    When 
    I 
    loved 
    & looked 
    up 

    to him 
    as 
    a little 
    kid 

    Verse 2
    He 
    sent 
    me 
    to 
    his old 
    school 
    I was 
    a numeral 
    with 

    his name 
    & he gave 
    me 
    this gold 
    signet 
    ring 

    And he 
    wore 
    one 
    just 
    the same 

    And 
    I 
    guess 
    that I 
    believed 
    him 

    & probably 
    it was 
    true 

    When 
    he told 
    me I 
    was 
    just 
    like 
    him 

    That's 
    what some 
    fathers 
    do 

    Verse 3
    But a 
    father's 
    always 
    older 
    and my 

    dad 
    was 
    rather 
    tall 

    Who says 
    size 
    does
    n't 
    matter, 

    he was 
    big 
    & I 
    was small 


    I needed 
    to 
    be 
    big 
    enough 

    to be 
    someone 
    someday 

    & I 
    learned 
    I 
    had 
    to beat 
    him 

    & that 
    was 
    the only 
    way 

    Verse 4
    I 
    learned 
    I 
    had 
    to fight 
    him, 

    my 
    own flesh 
    & bone 
    & kin 

    Buyt I 
    felt 
    I 
    was 
    ust like 
    him 
    can a 

    man's 
    son 
    be 
    his 
    twin 

    First 
    we 
    fought 
    for my 
    mother, 
    Verse 5

    that af
    forded 
    little 
    joy 

    When he 
    left 
    she was 
    heart 
    broken 

    & I was 
    still 
    their 
    little boy 

    But 
    I started 
    to get 
    bigger 
    & to 

    win 
    the ugly 
    game 

    When 
    I 
    made 
    a little 
    money 

    & I 
    got 
    a 
    bit of 
    fame 

    Verse 6
    & I saw 
    how this 
    could 
    wound 
    him 

    Yes 
    this 
    could 
    do 
    the trick 
    & 

    If I 
    made 
    it 
    big 
    enough 
    I 
    could 

    kill 
    him 
    off 
    quick

    But how 
    can 
    you 
    murder 
    someone 

    In a way 
    that they 
    don't 
    die 

    I didn't 
    want 
    to kill 
    him, 

    that 
    would be 
    sui
    cide

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
