    Hey, 
    what's 
    happenin'? 

    Hey, 
    what's shakin'? 

    How's 
    your old 
    lady? 

    Oh, 
    she's 
    fine. 

    You know, 
    little hemorrhoidal 
    problem 
    down 
    there, 

    but you 
    know how 
    it 
    is. 

    What's 
    the worst 
    happening? 

    Nothing 
    much, 
    except 
    had 
    weird 

    experi
    ence 
    the 
    other night. 

    Is 
    that right? 

    Yeah, 
    you see, 
    was 
    walking 
    along, 

    you know, 
    minding 
    my 
    own. 

    Yeah. 

    looked out 
    to my 
    right 
    and 

    saw 
    this 
    strange 
    light. 

    light? 

    That's 
    right. 

    So 
    anyway, 
    what 
    happened 
    was 
    it 
    got me 

    thinking 
    about 
    this 
    poem 
    read once. 

    poem, 
    huh? 

    Yeah, 
    a poem. 

    It's 
    like 

    Late 
    last 
    night 
    in 
    search 
    of light 

    watched 
    ball of 
    fire 

    You 
    don't mind 
    if I do 
    this 
    for you, 

    do you, 
    man? 

    No, 
    man, I 
    was only putting 
    you 
    on. 

    It's your 
    record, 

    you know what 
    I mean? 

    Carry 
    on, 
    do whatever 
    you want. 

    Well, 
    all 
    right! 

    Late 
    last 
    night 

    In 
    search 
    of 
    light 

    watched 
    ball 
    of 
    fire 
    streak 

    across 
    the 
    midnight 
    sky 

    watched 
    it 
    glow, 
    then 
    grow, 
    then 
    shrink, 

    then 
    sink 
    into 
    the 
    silhouette 
    of 
    morning 

    As 
    watched 
    it 
    die 

    You 
    know what 
    I said 
    to myself? 
    said, 

    Hey, 
    I got 
    a lot 
    in common 
    with 
    that light 

    Well 
    that's 
    right, 
    you see 

    I'm 
    alive 
    with 
    a fire 
    in 
    my 
    life 

    The 
    streak's 
    crossed 
    my 
    span 
    of time 

    and 
    is 
    seen 
    by 
    those 
    who 
    lift 
    their 

    eyes 
    in 
    search of 
    life 

    to help 
    them 
    through 
    the 
    long, 
    dark 
    night. 

    Hey, 
    you know, 
    that's all 
    right. 

    Well, thank
    s, 
    man. 

    It's just 
    a poem 
    I learned 

    a long 
    time 
    ago. 

    It's 
    still 
    all right. 

    But 
    tell me 
    something. 

    What 
    happened? 

    Well, 
    you 
    see, 
    that 
    wasn't 
    the 
    funny 
    thing 

    that 
    happened 
    to 
    me. 

    You 
    see, 
    the 
    funny thing 
    that 

    happened 
    to was 
    that 

    well, 
    it 
    got me thinking 
    about 

    this man 
    met a 
    few years 
    back 

    in 
    this 
    bar, 
    sort of, 
    and he, 
    um 

    well, 
    he 
    told me 
    this sort 
    of a 
    strange, 

    um, 
    you know, 
    flying 
    saucer 
    story 

    Flying 
    saucers, 
    huh? 

    Yeah, 
    you 
    see, 
    one 
    night 

    he 
    was 
    walking 
    along, 
    minding 
    his 
    own 

    looked 
    off 
    to 
    his right 
    and 
    he 

    saw 
    this strange 
    light, 
    too 

    light, 
    right? 

    So 
    anyway... 

    He 
    started 
    off 
    to investigate 
    this light 
    off to 
    his right, 

    right? 

    Right. 

    He 
    got about 
    halfway 

    across 
    this 
    field 

    and realized 
    what 
    he 
    was doing, 
    you 
    know? 

    mean... 

    mean, after 
    all, 

    there 
    he was 
    in the middle 
    of a field, 

    in the middle 
    of the 
    night, 

    investigat
    ing this 
    weird 
    light 

    off to 
    his 
    right, 
    right? 

    Right. 

    So 
    what 
    happened? 

    Well, 
    to 
    make a 
    long story 
    short, 

    you 
    know, 
    short 
    of, 
    uh, 
    he's 
    split. 

    What 
    do 
    mean he's 
    split? 

    Yeah, 
    you 
    know, 
    just, 
    uh, 
    geez. 

    All 
    right, 
    so what 
    happened with 
    you? 

    Well, 
    got thinking 
    about 
    this 
    guy 
    and the 
    story, 

    you know, 
    and the 
    calm 
    and 
    everything, 
    you know. 

    Yeah. 

    Well, 
    so 
    split 
    the two, 
    you understand? 

    You 
    split? 

    Yeah, 
    split. 

    Split? 

    Split. 

    -P -L 
    -I 
    -T. 

    Shit. 

    Well, 
    got to split 
    now 
    myself, 
    see. 

    Listen, 
    I hope 
    your wife's 
    into watching 
    my 

    colors 
    get better 
    real 
    fast 
    and all 
    that. 

    Hey, wait 
    wait 
    a minute, wait 
    a minute. 

    Wait 
    minute for 
    what, 
    man? 

    What 
    do think 
    you're doing? 

    You 
    turning into 

    Crusades 
    or something? 

    That's the 
    dumbest 
    story 

    I ever heard 
    in my 
    life. 

    What 
    you 
    mean? 

    Listen, 
    I'm telling 
    you 
    the truth. 

    That's 
    nice, 
    you know, 
    but, 
    uh... 

    Did 
    you ever hear the 
    one about 

    the guy 
    with the 
    wooden 
    eye? 

    Hey, 
    now, don't 
    do that 
    to me, 

    man. 
    I mean... 

    Well, 
    let me 
    put it this 
    way. 

    Listen,

    something? 

    You crazy. 

    You 
    know that? 

    Well, 
    hey, 
    don't you 
    call 
    me crazy, 
    man. 

    Let 
    me ask you 
    something. 

    What 
    would you 
    have done, 
    man? 

    What 
    to begin 
    with? 
    I wouldn't 
    have told 
    this 
    story, 

    you understand? 

    Last 
    season, 
    if you'd 
    have said what 
    happened 
    to 
    me, 

    you know what 
    I mean?

    asshole, 

    you understand? 

    Hey,

    that glass, 

    Hey,

    know what I 
    could do 

    to you 
    if I wanted 
    to get...

    me angry 
    in a minute,

    the other 
    night 

    was 
    really 
    walking 
    along, 

    I really 
    looked 
    off 
    to my 
    right 

    really 
    did 
    see a 
    light off 
    in the middle 

    of the night 
    off to 
    my right 

    really 
    did

    to 
    me, man?

    me look 
    like 
    a fool 

    Well, 
    uh, that's 
    easy, 

    all 
    you have to do 
    is look 
    in your own 
    mirror 

    Hey,

    All

    watch 
    your language 

    Hey,

    me ask you 
    guys something 

    Are

      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 🙂

      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.
