    In this 
    game 
    you've got 

    eight
    een 
    holes 

    To 
    shoot 
    your best 
    somehow 

    Where 
    have all 
    my 
    divots 
    gone 

    I'm in 
    the 
    back 
    nine 
    now 

    I got to 
    move 
    on down 

    to that nex
    t 
    fairway 

    Up 
    to that 
    flap
    ping 
    flag 

    There's a 
    storm 
    formin' 
    overhead 

    I 
    got to

    up that 
    bag

    bag 

    Got to move 
    on

    that next 
    fairway 

    Up 
    to that 
    flapping 
    flag 

    Verse 3

    I used 
    to tote 
    my daddy's 
    bag 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    boy 

    I 
    saw him 
    sweat 
    and I heard 
    him swear 

    But 
    some
    times 
    he'd whoop 
    for joy 

    Golf 
    clubs 
    are made 
    of 
    wood 
    and iron 

    No, 
    no, 
    no, 

    they 
    are not 
    magic 
    wands 

    And balls 
    fall 
    into 
    sand 
    traps 

    And balls 
    drop 
    into ponds 

    Verse 4

    Balls 
    drop 
    into 
    pond
    s 

    Ball
    s 
    drop 
    into ponds 

    Golf 
    clubs 
    are made 
    of wood 
    and iron 

    No 
    they 
    are not 
    magic 
    wands 

    Verse 5

    I'm 
    walkin' 
    around 
    with these 

    spiked 
    shoes 
    on 

    Oh 
    it 
    feels 
    a 
    little obscene 

    Mother 
    nature 
    with 
    a manicure 

    Up 
    here on 
    this 
    green 

    Oh 
    I don't 
    know about 
    you 
    but 
    I got 

    to 
    have 
    me a few 

    When we get 
    to that 

    clubhouse 
    bar 

    It's 
    my reward 
    for 
    this 
    scorecard 

    I'm way 
    over 
    par 

    I'm 
    way 
    over 
    par 
    Verse 6

    I'm 
    way 
    over 
    par 

    I don't know 
    about 
    you 

    I got 
    to drink 
    me 
    few 

    When we 
    get to 
    that 
    clubhouse 
    bar 

    Verse 7
    In 
    this game 
    you got 
    eighteen 
    holes 

    To 
    shoot 
    your best 
    somehow 

    Where 
    have all 
    my divots 
    gone 

    I'm in the 
    back 
    nine 
    now

      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.
