    know 
    it? 

    Why

    my

    Oh

    It's 
    a 
    choking

    can 
    kill 
    a girl 
    with 
    a bottle 

    of 
    pois
    on 
    or 
    a knife 

    I 
    know 
    you 
    can't, 

    it 
    would 
    hurt 
    her 
    more 
    to 
    take 
    her 
    pride 

    And 
    a

    of 
    life, 
    oh, 
    it's a 
    shame 

    Baby,

    I 
    gave

    my 
    heart. 

    You 
    wanted 
    my 
    mind. 

    Yes,

    did. 

    Your 
    love 
    scares 
    me to 
    death,

    It's 
    the 
    choking

    It 
    would 
    hurt 
    her 
    more 

    To 
    take 
    her 
    pride 

    And 
    ruin

    Don't 
    fit 
    my 
    head 

    It's 
    that 
    chok
    ing kind 

    Whatever 
    it 
    is, 
    I 
    surely 
    hope

    Oh,

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
