    • Verse 1
    Every 
    time 
    blues 
    brings 
    sadness, 

    chase 
    them 
    away 
    with 
    gladness. 

    Crying 
    those 
    blues 
    will 
    grieve 
    you, 

    swinging 
    those 
    blues 
    will 
    leave 
    you. 

    Really 
    ain't 
    nothing 
    to 
    it, 

    swinging 
    the 
    blues 
    will 
    do 
    it. 

    Soon 
    as 
    I 
    feel 
    them 
    com
    ing, 

    right 
    away 
    I 
    start 
    a 
    mess. 

    Everything's 
    free 
    and 
    easy, 

    long 
    as 
    you're 
    feeling 
    breezy. 

    Really 
    ain't 
    nothing 
    to 
    it, 

    swinging 
    the 
    blues 
    will 
    do 
    it. 


    When 
    blues 
    come 
    round, 

    don't 
    be 
    sad 

    Just 
    swing 
    those 
    blues, 
    you'll 
    be 
    glad 

    When 
    blues 
    can't 
    cause 
    you 
    trouble 

    Well, 
    that's 
    when they 

    go 
    away 
    mad 

    Swing 
    those 
    blues, 

    kick 
    up 
    your 
    heels 
    and 
    ball 

    When 
    they come 
    to 
    call, 

    I'm really 
    telling 

    Don't, 
    don't, 
    don't, 

    better 
    not 
    doubt 
    the 
    truth 
    of what 
    I say 

    All 
    you 
    gotta 
    do 
    to 
    lose 
    the 
    blues 

    is get 
    to 
    swingin' 
    real 
    good 

    Great 
    discoveries 
    never 
    made 
    a 
    big 

    impression 
    on 
    the 
    people 
    who 
    were 
    drunk 

    At 
    the 
    cat 
    who really 
    burst 
    out 

    Really 
    ain't 
    nothin' 

    to 
    it 

    Swingin' 
    the 
    blues 
    will 
    do 
    it 

    I told 
    the 
    blues, 

    don't 
    keep 
    hangin' 
    round 
    me 

    Don't 
    try 
    to haunt 
    me 

    I 
    tried 
    to 
    lose 
    them 
    plenty 
    of 
    times, 

    but 
    I 
    failed 
    and 
    they 
    found 
    me 

    What 
    a 
    relief 
    when 
    I 
    know 

    finally 
    what 
    you 
    have 
    to 
    do 

    Now 
    keep 
    on 
    playing 
    them 
    blues, 

    keep 
    singing 
    the 
    blues 

    And 
    the 
    blues 
    will 
    have 
    to go 
    away 
    from 

    you 

    I 
    hear 
    you 
    talk
    ing, 

    so 
    tell 
    the 
    truth, 
    baby 

    Bet
    ter 
    know 
    what 
    you're 
    talking 
    about, 

    really, 
    before 
    ad
    vising 
    you 

    It's 
    red 
    news 
    by 
    in
    viting 
    people, 
    swing away 
    the 
    blues, 

    that's 
    it, 
    those 
    blues 
    are gonna 
    split 

    Before 
    you 
    lose 
    her, 
    you gotta 
    swing 
    her, 
    you 
    gotta 
    get 
    her, 
    you gotta 
    sing 
    her, 

    you gotta 
    cry 
    her, 
    you 
    gotta 
    grieve 
    her, 
    you gotta 
    swing 
    her, 
    you gotta 
    leave 
    her 

    So 
    listen 
    to 
    me, 
    try 
    to 
    do 
    it, 

    it's 
    very 
    easy, 
    she's 
    got 
    to do 
    it 

    Ooyah, 
    ooy
    ah, 
    ooyah, 
    ooy
    ah, 
    yah, 
    ooyah, 
    yah, 
    I'm 
    givin' 
    those 
    blues 
    a 
    shot, 

    swingin' 
    right 
    on 
    through 
    this 
    happy 
    life 
    I 
    love.

      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

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
