    I 
    ain't 

    never 
    seen 
    a 
    woman 

    look 
    at 
    me 
    like 
    that 

    I 
    guess 
    they 
    do 
    things 
    different 
    in 
    the 
    city 

    I 
    ain't 
    never 
    seen 
    a 
    woman 

    shake 
    her body 
    that 
    way 

    And 
    manage 
    to 
    hold 
    on 
    to 
    her 
    dig
    nity 

    Right 
    now 
    I ain't 
    thinking 

    about 
    those 
    starving 
    kids 

    Or 
    catching 
    some 
    strange 
    disease 

    An
    d 
    little 
    thing, 
    don't 
    worry, 

    that 
    nasty 
    stuff 
    we're 
    saying 

    Kinda 
    make 
    you feel 
    at 
    ease, 

    and 
    that's 
    the 
    way 
    on 
    the 
    beat 

    You 
    make 
    me slow 
    down 

    when 
    I break 
    into 
    a 
    run 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    on 
    the 
    beat 

    And 
    you 
    make 
    people 
    forget 

    about 
    the 
    things 
    I 
    ain't 
    done 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    on 
    the 
    beat 

    Oh, 
    I 
    know 
    we 
    just 
    can't 
    stay 
    here 
    forever 

    But 
    I'm 
    locked 
    up 
    in 
    some 

    wild 
    fantasy 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    it ought 
    to 
    be 

    I 
    ain't 
    never 
    seen 
    a 
    woman 

    put 
    up 
    such 
    a 
    fight 

    About 
    so 
    many 
    little 
    stupid 
    things 

    I 
    ain't 
    never 
    seen 
    nobody 

    always 
    do 
    what's 
    right 

    No 
    matter 
    what 
    harm 
    it 
    brings 

    I 
    don't 
    need 
    no 
    woman 

    telling 
    me 
    how 
    to 
    run 
    my 
    life 

    But 
    I 
    can stand 
    some 
    advice 
    for 
    real 

    Those 
    little 
    motions, 

    the 
    touch 
    of 
    your 
    fingers 

    Kind 
    of 
    makes 
    it 
    hard 
    on 
    me 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    on 
    the 
    beat 

    You 
    make 
    me 
    realize 
    graffiti 
    ain't 
    so 
    dumb 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    on 
    the 
    beat 

    You 
    make 
    me 
    compromise 

    when 
    I'm 
    having 
    too 
    much 
    fun 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    on 
    the 
    beat 

    I 
    know 
    the 
    whole 
    world 

    can't 
    stop 
    turnin' 

    And 
    live 
    like 
    you 
    and 
    me, 

    that's 
    the 
    way 
    it 
    ought to 
    be 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    it 
    ought to 
    be, 

    yeah 






    I 
    ain't 
    nev
    er seen 
    a 
    woman 

    talk 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    police 

    Guests 
    take 
    to 
    thing
    s 

    differ
    ent in 
    the 
    city 

    I 
    ain't 
    never 
    seen 
    a 
    woman 

    point 
    a 
    finger 
    in 
    my 
    face 

    Some
    how 
    you 
    keep 
    on 
    upsetting 
    me 

    I 
    ain't 
    thinking 

    about 
    no 
    foreclosure 

    on 
    my 
    mortgage 

    I 
    don't 
    want 
    no 
    MTV 

    Anybody 
    talking 
    about 

    some 
    kind 
    of love 
    shortage 

    We 
    still 
    don't 
    know 
    what 
    that 
    means 

    And 
    that's 
    the 
    way 
    it ought 
    to 
    be 

    You 
    made 
    me 
    come 
    down 

    from 
    my 
    pedestal 
    in 
    the 
    sun

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    it 
    ought to 
    be 

    You 
    made 
    me 
    think 
    about 

    what 
    I 
    don't 
    want 
    to 
    become 

    That's 
    the 
    way 
    it ought 
    to 
    be 

    I 
    know 
    we 
    just 
    can't 

    stay 
    here 
    forever 

    Locked 
    up 
    in 
    some 
    wild 
    fantasy

    the 
    way 
    it 
    ought to

    of 
    the 
    beat

    beat 

    Oh

      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.
