    Verse 1
    member, 

    how 
    you 
    loved 
    to turn 
    me 
    on 

    Sweetly 
    so 
    completely, 

    when 
    you sang 
    your sassy 
    song 

    Did 
    you 
    have 
    a lighthouse
    , 

    Yes, 
    I'm 
    sure 
    indeed 
    you 
    did 

    Where 
    you 
    used 
    to take 
    me, 

    where 
    the 
    family 
    jewels 
    were 
    hid 

    Verse 2
    You said, "Can 
    I, 
    can

    I, 
    take 
    you 
    to 
    the 
    ball" 

    Take 
    me 
    to 
    the 
    ball 

    You 
    said, 
    "Can 
    I, 
    can 
    I, 
    love 
    you, 

    can 
    I, 
    love

    after 
    all" 

    Take 
    me 
    to 
    the 
    ball 

    Verse 3
    The 
    ball, 
    the 
    ball, 

    sang 
    your sassy 
    song, 
    sing 
    it 

    The 
    ball, 

    take 
    me 
    to 
    the 
    ball 

    Verse 4
    There 
    was 
    sugar 
    sweet 
    as 
    candy, 

    there 
    was 
    sweetness 
    on 
    your 
    lips 

    And 
    you sang 
    it 
    in 
    a 
    love 
    song, 

    and 
    confection 
    surely 
    drips 

    There 
    was 
    laughter 
    and 
    then 
    after, 

    when 
    we 
    could 
    have 
    danced 
    all 
    night 

    We 
    got 
    into 
    one 
    an
    other, 

    and 
    I 
    know 
    you 
    know 
    that's 
    right

    take 
    you 
    to 
    the 
    ball"

    to 
    the 
    ball

    I, 
    love

      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 🙂

      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.
