    Verse 1
    I'm 
    gonna 
    write 
    a tear 
    stained 
    letter, 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    mail 
    it 
    straight 
    to 
    you. 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    bring 
    back 
    to 
    your 
    mind, 

    What 
    you said 
    about 
    always 
    being 
    true. 

    Bout 
    our 
    secret 
    hiding 
    places; 

    Being 
    daily 
    satis
    fied. 

    can 
    see 
    you sitting 
    and 
    reading 
    it, 

    While 
    you 
    hang 
    you 
    head 
    and cry. 

    just 
    hope 
    you're 
    not 
    so 
    sad, 

    You're 
    gonna 
    go 
    down 
    suicide. 

    Verse 2
    I'm 
    gonna 
    write 
    tear 
    stained 
    letter: 

    Put 
    it 
    special 
    deliv
    ery. 

    'Cause 
    it's 
    gonna 
    be 
    full 
    of 
    stuff, 

    That's 
    only 
    known 
    to you 
    and 
    me. 

    'Bout 
    how 
    every 
    time 

    I get 
    turned 
    on, 

    You turn 
    me 
    off 
    and bring 
    me 
    down. 

    It'll 
    be 
    about 
    the darkest 
    news, 

    That 
    ever 
    did 
    arrive 
    in 
    your 
    hometown. 

    It'll 
    be 
    about 
    the 
    saddest 
    thing, 

    Your 
    mailman 
    ever 
    did 
    bring 
    around. 

    Verse 3
    I'm 
    gonna 
    write 
    tear 
    stained 
    letter, 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    tell 
    you 
    one 
    more 
    time. 

    That 
    you 
    still 
    could 
    reconsider, 

    And 
    come 
    back 
    to 
    being 
    mine. 

    An' 
    if 
    you 
    think 
    about 
    what 
    I'm 
    saying, 

    It'd 
    be 
    hard 
    to 
    re
    fuse. 

    Just 
    be 
    sure 
    you 
    think 
    long 
    time, 

    On 
    the 
    answer 
    that 
    you 
    choose. 

    It 
    will 
    be 
    most 
    important 
    piece, 

    Of 
    personal, 
    private 
    news. 

    Interlude 1


    I'm 
    gonna 
    write 
    Verse 4

    a tear 
    stained 
    letter, 

    Mark 
    it 
    "Personal 
    Private 
    News." 

    An' 
    hope 
    you'll 
    keep 
    it 
    to 
    yourself, 

    An' 
    don't 
    go 
    'round 

    crying 
    the blues. 

    Giving 
    off 
    a bad 
    impression, 

    As 
    to what 
    went 
    really 
    wrong. 

    When 
    what 
    it 
    was 
    was 
    that 
    suddenly, 


    The music 
    was 
    all 
    gone. 

    And 
    this 
    man 
    and 
    this woman 
    got 
    cut 
    off, 

    In 
    the middle 
    of 
    our 
    song. 

    Verse 5
    I'm 
    gonna 
    write 
    a tear 
    stained 
    letter, 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    put 
    it 
    to 
    tun
    e. 

    So 
    I'll 
    be 
    sending 
    with 
    it, 

    A sweet 
    melody 
    for 
    you. 

    And 
    not 
    some 
    red-hot, 
    upbeat 
    zinger, 

    That'll 
    set 
    your 
    body 
    on 
    fire. 

    But 
    hunk 
    of 
    love 
    included, 

    Meant 
    to 
    take 
    you 
    little 
    higher. 

    And 
    to 
    settle 
    on 
    your 
    sweet, 
    sweet 
    mind, 

    At 
    night 
    when 
    you 
    retire. 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    write 
    Verse 6
    a tear 
    stained 
    letter.

    • 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.
