    '74 
    Ford truck,

    out 
    an' beat 
    up. 

    Fire- 
    engine 
    red, 

    been 
    part 
    of 
    the 
    family 
    for 
    years. 

    was sixteen, 
    it 
    was 
    my 
    turn. 

    Four 
    on 
    the 
    floor 
    an' 
    had 
    learn, 

    So 
    my 
    brother 
    took 
    me 
    out 
    to 
    teach 
    me 

    how 
    to 
    shift 
    those 
    gears. 

    With 
    a tear 
    in 
    his 
    eye, 

    he 
    handed 
    me 
    the 
    keys. 

    Says: 
    "Truck's 
    got 

    quite 
    history. 

    "Over 
    the 
    years 
    it's 
    been 
    really 

    good 
    to 
    me." 

    Verse 2

    "There's 
    been 
    a lotta

    no 
    wonder, 


    "There's 
    dent
    s in 
    the 
    hoods, 

    an' 
    the shock
    s ain't 
    good. 

    "Swingin' 
    from 
    the 
    rollbars, 

    dancin' in 
    the 
    bed: 

    "I 
    seen 
    a bunch 
    of gorgeous 

    country 
    corn- 
    fed, 

    "Girls 
    an' 
    few 
    other 
    thing

    an' every 
    Friday 
    night, 

    I'm 
    trollin'

    Main 
    Street 

    showin'

    • 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.
