    Me 
    and 
    my brother 

    were 
    talking 
    to each 
    other 

    About 
    what 
    makes a 
    man 
    a man 

    Was 
    it 
    brain 
    or 
    brawn 

    or the 
    month 
    you were born 

    We 
    just could
    n't understand 

    Our 
    old 
    man didn't 
    like 

    our appear
    ance, 

    said 
    that 
    only 
    women 
    wear 

    long 
    hair 

    So 
    me and 
    my brother 
    borrowed 

    money 
    from mother, 

    we 
    knew what 
    we had 
    to do 

    We 
    went downstairs 

    past 
    the barber 
    and gymnasium 

    We 
    got 
    our arms 
    tat
    tooed 

    Welcome 
    to my 
    life 
    tattooed 

    I'm 
    a man 
    now 
    thanks 
    to you 

    I 
    expect I'll 
    regret 
    you 

    But 
    the skin graft 
    man won't 
    get you 

    To 
    be there 
    when 
    I die 



    My 
    dad 
    beat me, 
    cos 
    mine 
    said mother 

    My 
    mother 
    actu
    ally 
    liked it 

    and 
    beat my 
    brother

    Cos 
    his 
    tattoo 
    was 
    of a 
    lady 
    in 
    the nude 

    And 
    my 
    mother thought 

    that was 
    ex
    tremely 
    rude 

    That 
    rhyme 
    had never 
    been 

    used before 
    at 
    that time. 

    Welcome 
    to my 
    life, 
    Tat
    too. 

    We've 
    a long 
    time 
    together, 

    me and 
    you. 

    I expect 
    I'll 
    regret 
    you, 

    but 
    the 
    skin graft 
    man won't 
    get you. 

    You'll 
    be there 
    when 
    I die, 
    Tattoo. 


    Now 
    I'm 
    older, 

    I'm tattooed 
    all 
    over, 

    my 
    wife 
    is 
    tattooed 
    too 

    Rooty 
    tooty 
    too, 
    rooty 
    tooty 
    too too, 

    rooty 
    tooty 
    too, 
    tattooed 
    too 

    Bit 
    like the end 
    in a 
    tummy this, 

    isn't it? 

    To you 

    I've 
    always had difficulty, 


    you know, finishing 
    things 
    really, 

    you know, I mean 

    I got to 
    the end of Tommy 


    and I didn't know what 
    to do with Tommy, 

    he'd been through all 
    this terrible 
    stuff 

    and, 
    you know, 

    we all really 
    identified 
    with 
    him 

    and, God, 

    what's he going 
    to do 

    at the end of the 
    story? 

    And I just 
    didn't know what to do, 

    I sent him 
    up this mountain. 
    Go! 

    Up up 
    you go. 

    At 
    the end of Quadrifina, 

    this poor screwed 
    up little 
    kid, 

    you know, he can't 
    get the girl, 

    he crashes 
    his scooter. 

    You know, the guy 
    he thinks is a great 
    guy ends up, he's a 

    bellhop, you 
    know, it's 
    just, 

    and he goes to 
    the sea, and it's 
    flat. 

    No, 
    nothing, 

    and it smells 
    a bit funny, 
    too. 

    In the distance, 

    there's somebody going, 

    So he gets a 
    boat and he goes out 

    and 
    he gets on the rock and then, 

    gets 
    on the rock 

    and well then 
    it's the end! 

    It kind 
    of happens like that 
    at the end of Tattoo, 

    you know, you get to the end 

    and you're thinking, 

    my wife is tattooed 
    too 

    and 
    yes, 
    well a Rudy too, 

    toodle toodle. 


    I'm going to do collings, 

    give me the 
    collings. time.

      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 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.
