    Well,

    line 

    Cuttin' 
    out 
    a firebrake 
    line 

    Diggin'

    to the 
    clean 
    line 

    Cut

    line 

    Well, 
    I'm 
    a 
    wild, 
    wild, 
    wildin' 
    fool 

    On 
    the 
    other 
    mountain 
    hotshot 
    crew 

    I 
    can

    I 
    can 
    walk 
    through 
    hell 
    I'm 
    an

    EMT 
    and 
    a 
    torchman 
    too 

    And 
    the 
    wind's 
    blowin' 
    hard 
    and 
    dry 

    And 
    the sparks 
    in 
    the 
    sand 
    are 
    sly 

    I 
    made 
    my 
    stand 
    with 
    twenty 
    good 
    men 

    Bet
    ter 
    than 
    the 
    brothers 

    you'll 
    never 
    find 

    Got 
    their 
    backs 
    and 
    they 
    got 
    mine 

    Now 
    I'm 
    cuttin' 
    out a 
    firebreak

    and 
    lime 

    Now

    Ed 

    Pean 
    last 
    year's 
    a 
    friend 
    of 
    mine 

    When 
    I 
    cut 
    him 
    down 
    a fiery 
    line 

    He 
    invented 
    this 
    thing 
    like 

    a 
    hot 
    sauce 
    thing 

    And 
    he 
    never 
    left 
    a 
    member 

    of 
    his 
    crew 
    behind 

    And 
    a 
    wild 
    jump 
    across 
    the 
    line 

    Took 
    him 
    down 
    an 
    abandoned 
    mine 

    And 
    he 
    drew 
    his 
    gun, 

    said 
    he'd shoot 
    the 
    first 
    one 

    But 
    he 
    got 
    him 
    in 
    his 
    head 

    and 
    tried 
    to 
    step 
    outside 

    Got

      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.
