    Verse 1

    I've been 
    out 
    on this 
    road 
    some 

    Can't 
    help 
    feeling 
    I've been 
    showing 

    my friends 
    around 

    I've 
    seen it 
    grow
    ing 
    from 

    next 
    to noth
    ing 

    Into a 
    giant 
    eating 
    up 
    your 
    town 


    Verse 2
    Called 
    up the 
    tealeaves and the 

    tarots 

    Asked the 
    gypsy 
    what 
    she 
    sees 

    in the 
    palm 
    of our hands 

    She 
    saw 
    mountain 
    and 
    a wild 
    deer 
    running 

    crazy 
    kid 
    be
    coming 
    a better 
    man 

    Verse 3

    But 
    we stuck 
    around 
    for 
    the fireworks 

    Waiting 
    to 
    explode 

    Shaped 
    our fu
    tures, 

    you 
    a tumble
    weed 

    And 
    me 
    on 
    a yellow 
    brick 
    road 

    Pleasing 
    the people 
    some 
    of the time 

    For 
    better 
    or 
    for 
    worse 

    An urban 
    soul 
    in a fine 
    silk 
    Suit 

    And 
    a heart 
    out 
    west 
    in a 

    Wrangler 
    shirt 

    Verse 4
    [Chorus:] 
    And you can't 
    go 
    back 

    and 

    if you 
    try 
    it fails 

    Looking 
    up 
    ahead 
    see 
    a rusty 
    nail 

    sign 
    hanging 
    from 
    it 
    saying 

    "Truth 
    for 
    sale" 

    And 
    that's 
    what 
    we did 

    No 
    lies 
    at all 
    just 
    one 
    more 
    tale 

    About the 
    Captain 
    and 
    the Kid 


    Verse 5
    We've 
    been 
    missing 
    at times 
    in 
    action 

    Can't 
    imagine 
    what 
    he said 

    he might 
    do 
    for you 

    The 
    devil 
    got 
    to come 
    to 

    the party 
    sometimes 

    But he 
    never 
    got 
    to wear 
    our 
    shoes 

    Verse 6

    Oh 
    we've con
    jured 
    up 
    what 
    we 
    created 

    Way 
    back 
    then 
    when 
    I was 

    standing 
    up in 
    six-inch 
    heels 

    heels 

    Now 
    you're rid
    ing 
    off in
    to 
    the sunset 

    And 
    I'm 
    still 
    spinning 
    like 

    a Catherine 
    wheel 

    Verse 7

    But 
    we stuck 
    around 
    for 
    the battle 

    Waiting 
    for 
    a plan 

    To 
    turn 
    you 
    in
    to 
    the Brown 

    Dirt 
    Cow
    boy 

    And me 
    into a 
    Rocket 
    Man 

    It 
    pleases 
    the people 

    some 
    of the time 

    Digging 
    in
    to 
    our root

    But 
    I got 
    a brand 
    new 
    pair 

    of shoes 

    And you're 
    on a horse 
    in 
    old 

    cowboy 
    boots 

    [Chorus x2]

    • 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.
