    Verse 1
    Well, 
    used 

    to wake 
    up in the 

    Before 
    the 
    rooster crows 

    Searching 
    for soda 
    bottles 

    To 
    get 
    myself 
    some 
    dough 

    run 
    down 
    to 
    the corner 

    Down 
    to the 
    country 
    store 

    cashier 
    man 
    give 
    my 
    money 

    to 
    man 
    named 

    Curtis 

    Lowe, 
    old 
    man 
    was 

    black 
    man 
    with 

    white 
    curly 
    hair, 
    when 
    he 
    had 
    fifth 
    of 
    wine 
    he 
    did 
    not 
    have

    to 
    play 
    an 

    Old 

    Dobro, 
    he 
    used 
    to 
    play

    his 
    knees 

    I'd 
    give 
    old 

    Kurt 
    my 
    money 
    and 
    he'd 

    play 
    all 
    day 
    for 
    me 

    Play 
    me 
    song, 

    Kurt 
    is 
    so, 

    Kurt

    your 
    drink 
    and 
    money 

    to 
    tune 
    up 
    your 

    Dobro 

    People 
    say 
    he 
    was 
    useless,

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
