    Verse 1
    I don't 
    know 
    why 
    they 
    come 
    here 

    I'm 
    only 
    glad 
    they 
    do 

    They're 
    gonna 
    pay 
    the 
    bills 

    for 
    me 
    and 
    you 

    People 
    out 
    for 
    an 
    evening 

    They 
    have 
    a real 
    good 
    time 

    But 
    when 
    I 
    play 
    I feel 
    just 

    like 
    I'm 
    miming 

    I made 
    a stand 
    for 
    the music 

    To turn 
    the page 
    with 
    ease 

    I got 
    the smile 
    that says 

    I'm 
    here 
    to 
    please 

    Me 
    and 
    the bass 
    guitarist 

    Have even 
    shined 
    our shoes 

    The drummer's 
    shoes 

    are 
    dirty 
    to 
    con
    fuse 


    Verse 2
    I 
    guess 
    someday 
    my 
    kids 
    will 
    ask 
    me 

    'Bout 
    the 
    old 
    days 

    I 
    guess 
    that 
    I'll 
    tell 
    them 
    that 

    There 
    ain't 
    much 
    to 
    tell 

    The waiters 
    wore 
    black 
    dinner 

    jackets 
    and 
    all 
    that 
    kind 
    of 
    thing 

    And 
    the 
    band 
    wore 
    blue 
    shirts 

    And 
    the mu
    sic 
    played 
    on 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Then 
    at 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    the 
    evening 

    They throw 
    the suckers 
    out 

    Don't 
    get 
    me wrong, 

    I 
    got 
    no 
    beef 
    about 
    it 

    I get 
    my 
    rates 
    from 
    the union 

    I 
    get 
    my shirts 
    real 
    cheap 

    I get 
    my money 

    Get 
    home 

    Get 
    some 
    sleep

    Verse 4
    I 
    guess 
    someday 
    my 
    kids 
    will 
    ask 
    me 

    'Bout 
    the 
    old 
    days 

    I 
    guess 
    that 
    I'll 
    tell 
    them 
    that 

    There 
    ain't

      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.
