    Verse 1
    Miss 
    Josie 
    wandered 
    in 

    Her 
    eyes 
    showed 
    through 

    with 
    a 
    tripped 
    out 
    glaze 

    She 
    was 
    all 
    dressed 
    up 

    in 
    a Charleston 
    skirt 

    and 
    a 
    smile 
    that 
    went 

    two 
    ways 

    Miss 
    Jersey 
    was 
    my 
    love 

    when 
    it 
    stood 
    for 
    something 

    real 
    an
    d 
    true 

    And 
    it 
    all 
    seemed 
    more 

    the 
    im
    portant 
    thing 

    than 
    it 
    does 
    to 
    you 
    or 
    you 

    Never, 
    oh 
    God, 
    it's 
    a 
    reckless 
    task 

    To 
    re
    trieve 
    her 
    when 
    she 
    starts 
    to 
    feel 
    it 

    Oh 
    God, 
    it's 
    a 
    reckless 
    task 

    But 
    it's what 
    I'll 
    have 
    to 
    do 

    Back 
    then 
    she 
    looked 
    just 
    like 
    she 

    was 
    too 
    far 
    out 
    for 
    the 
    GTOs 

    But 
    the 
    path 
    she 
    took, 

    led 
    her 
    far 
    away, 

    where 
    no 
    sane 
    person 
    goes 

    And 
    oh 
    God, 
    it's 
    a 
    thankless 
    task, 

    to 
    re
    trieve 
    her 
    when 
    she's 
    found 
    to 
    be 

    Oh, 
    God, 
    it's 
    the 
    greatest 
    task 

    But 
    it's one 
    I'll 
    have 
    to 

    live 
    with 

    This 
    jersey 
    turned 
    me 
    on 

    To 
    the 
    waking 
    dream 

    And 
    the 
    word
    s 
    I'd 
    spilt 

    on 
    the patchwork 
    quilt 

    Still 
    bind 
    me 
    to 
    the 
    side 

    But 
    oh 
    God, 
    it's 
    a 
    painless 
    task 

    To 
    be 
    a 
    dreamer 
    when 
    she's 
    not 

    Oh 
    God, 
    it's 
    a 
    darkness 
    pas
    t, 

    but 
    it's what 
    I'll 
    have 
    to 
    live 
    with 

    Yes, 
    it's what 
    I'll 
    have 
    to 
    live 
    with

      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

      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.
