    Verse 1
    Scream
    in' 
    whitewall tires 
    and 
    a guitar 
    by 
    his 
    side 

    Billy's 
    got 
    the fever 
    as 
    he roll

    s on 
    through 
    the light 

    Some 
    were born 
    to listen, 

    some 
    were born 
    to play 

    He was 
    lightnin' 
    on 
    the high 

    strings 
    and 
    thunder 
    on 
    the bass 

    He could 
    play 
    it 
    Verse 2
    high 

    He could 
    play 
    it 
    low 

    He could 
    make it 
    cry 

    He could 
    make it 
    moan 

    Billy 
    knew 
    when 
    push 
    came 
    to shove 

    Interlude 1
    Proof 
    is 
    in the 
    pickin' 


    Verse 3
    In a 
    smoky 
    little 
    tavern 
    just 

    off 
    of Bourbon 
    Street 

    To
    bacco- 
    stained 
    fingers 

    waited 
    on 
    the down 
    beat 

    Conley 
    was 
    the master, 

    the 
    undisputed 
    king 

    He 
    ruled 
    the town 
    for 
    thirty 
    years 

    with 
    an 
    army 
    of 
    six 
    strings 

    Verse 4
    He could 
    play 
    it 
    high 

    He could 
    play 
    it 
    low 

    He could 
    make 
    it cry 

    He could 
    make 
    it moan 

    Conley 
    knew 
    when 
    push 
    came 
    to shove 

    Proof 
    is 
    in the 
    pickin' 

    Verse 5
    Oh some 
    time 
    after 
    midnight 
    Billy 
    drives 

    through 
    New 
    Or
    leans 

    Straight 
    to the 
    French 
    Quarter 

    there's 
    a man 
    he 
    has 
    to see 

    The 
    music 
    is 
    a- ragin' 
    like 

    a city 
    that's 
    on 
    fire 

    Billy 
    felt 
    just 
    like 
    an altar 
    boy 

    at the feet 
    of a 
    higher 
    power 

    Verse 6
    Conley 
    watched 
    as 
    Billy 
    walked 

    across 
    the room 

    Opened 
    his 
    case, 
    started 
    to 
    tune 

    The 
    whole 
    club 
    was silent 
    and 

    the lights 
    were turned 
    down 
    low 

    Billy 
    stepped 
    up 
    on 
    the stage 
    and Conley 
    whispered, 

    "Go 
    son, 
    go" 

    Interlude 2

    Yeah! 

    Come on 
    boys! 

    Verse 7

    He 
    could play 
    it high 

    He could 
    play 
    it 
    low 

    He could 
    make it 
    cry 

    He could 
    make 
    it moan 

    Billy 
    knew 
    when 
    push 
    came 
    to shove 

    Proof 
    is 
    in the 
    pickin' 

    Verse 8
    Conley 
    held 
    his 
    hand 
    up, 

    no 
    one 
    made 
    a sound 

    And he 
    handed 
    Bill 
    his 
    old 
    archtop and 

    stepped 
    into 
    the crowd 

    Billy 
    played 
    it 
    soft 

    Billy 
    played 
    it 
    sad 

    Then he 
    made 
    it talk 

    In 
    came 
    the band 

    Verse 9

    Soon 
    the room 
    was 
    shakin' 

    before 
    Billy's 
    wall 
    of sound 

    Just 
    a block 
    off 
    Bourbon 
    Street 

    A new 
    king's 
    been 
    crowned 

    Verse 10
    And 
    he plays 
    it 
    high 

    And he 
    plays 
    it 
    low 

    He can 
    make it 
    cry 

    He can 
    make it 
    moan 

    He 
    knows 
    when 
    push 
    comes 
    to shove 

    The 
    proof 
    is 
    in the 
    pickin'

      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 🙂

      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.
