When I never was a girl like Lily

Em

She was a pretty little
B

heartbreak machine
Am
C
Em

She had a way to paw the fool and his money
B

She was the lucky little

gambler's dream
Em

Yeah, and she'd promise up
B
Em

the world and whatever
B
Em
B

And she could get a man to do anything
Am
C

And by the morning he'd be cleaned out
Em

and crawling on his knees
B

But every night he'll hear

some poor fool sing
Em

He said, I may not be a rich man, baby
B
Em

Oh, but I'll tell you
B

what I'm gonna do
Am

I'm gonna take you out
C
Em
B

tonight in the city

I'm gonna spend all my money on you
Em

She'd take a seat off at the

bar around seven
B
Em
B

Await for some poor sucker stumbling by
Am

Yeah, and she'd pull him in
C
Em

and drag him on under
B
F#m

And she'd drown him in

those big dark eyes
Em

And with the moonlight breaking through
B
Em

a little crack in the sky
Em

Well, he was broken and the
B

damage was done
Am
C

He'd give up everything he had
Em

for a love that could never be

Yeah, he'd be screaming

at the top of his lungs
Em

He said, I may not be the rich man, baby

Well he just laughed and said

I think I can take care of myself

I said well don't pretend you
B

haven't been warned
Am
C

They found him walking in the morning
Em

by the side of the road

Yeah, he was naked as the day he was born

He said, I may not be a rich man, baby

  • 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.
