    Verse 1
    Now 
    I was 
    just 
    kid 
    way 
    back 
    in 
    my 
    homet
    own 

    There 
    was 
    crazy 
    little 
    man 
    who 

    once 
    came 
    around 

    Synco
    patin' Sandy 
    was 

    the stranger's 
    name 

    Playing 
    marathon 
    pian
    o, 

    that 
    was 
    Sandy's 
    game. 

    Verse 2
    He 
    played 
    all 
    day, 
    he played 
    all 
    night 

    After 
    48 hours 
    he 
    was still 
    alright 

    We fed 
    him 
    whis
    key 

    from 
    paper 
    cup 

    And 
    we 
    wondered 
    how 
    long 
    he 

    could 
    keep 
    it 
    up. 

    Verse 3

    How 
    long? 
    how 
    long? 

    How 
    long? 
    how 
    long? 

    Verse 4
    Well 
    his 
    eyes 
    are 
    rollin' 
    and 

    he 
    can't 
    even 
    speak 

    The spirit's 
    willing 
    but 

    the flesh 
    is 
    weak 

    How 
    long? 
    how long? 

    Interlude 1
    How 
    long? 
    how long? 






    Verse 5
    People 
    would 
    come 
    and 
    the 

    people 
    would 
    go 

    And 
    the 
    people 
    all agreed 
    it 

    wasn't 
    much 
    of 
    a show 

    They 
    all 
    said 
    Sandy 
    must 

    be 
    weak 
    in 
    the 
    head 

    And 
    if 
    he 
    didn't 
    stop 
    soon 

    he 
    would 
    drop 
    down 
    dead. 

    Verse 6
    He 
    played 
    all 
    day, 
    he 
    played 
    all 
    night 

    After 
    96 hours 
    he 
    was still 
    alright 

    We fed 
    him 
    whiskey 

    from 
    paper 
    cup 

    And 
    we 
    wondered 
    how 
    long 
    he 

    could 
    keep 
    it 
    up. 

    Verse 7

    How 
    long? 
    how 
    long? 

    How 
    long? 
    how 
    long? 

    Verse 8
    Well 
    his 
    eyes 
    are 
    rollin' 
    and 

    he 
    can't 
    even 
    speak 

    The spirit's 
    willing 
    but 

    the flesh 
    is 
    weak 

    How 
    long? how 
    long? 

    How long? 
    how 
    long? 

    (fade) 

    Verse 9
    How 
    long? 
    how long?

    • 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.
