    Verse 1
    Only 
    fools

    Road 

    Let alone 
    in 
    angry 
    weather 

    That 
    what 
    tell 
    everyone 
    know 

    Now 
    that 
    know 
    bet

    learned 

    Without 
    havin' 
    to watch 

    my 
    Mus
    tang 
    burn 

    Before 
    my 
    best

    had to 
    wind 
    up 
    hurt 

    An' 
    his whole 
    life 
    changed 

    That's

    hard 
    way 

    Verse 2

    Only 
    fool 
    would 
    keep 
    a diamond 
    ring 

    In a box 
    on the top 
    of his closet 

    He came 
    so 
    close; he 

    almost 
    asked 

    It was 
    right 
    there 
    in 
    his 
    pocket 

    That's 
    lesson 
    wish 
    woulda 
    learned 

    Before 
    standin' 
    in the 
    back 

    row 
    of that 
    church 

    Watch
    in' 
    her 
    daddy 
    givin' 
    her 

    To the 
    man 
    who took 
    my 
    place 

    That's

    hard 
    way

    Regret's been know 
    to give 

    a man 
    beatin' 

    But I

    for 
    fightin' 

    back 
    this 
    evenin' 

    Verse 4
    Only 
    fools 
    don't 
    take 
    the 
    time 
    of 
    day 

    They 
    stay 
    too 
    busy 
    runnin' 

    An' 
    to stop 
    just 
    once 
    to 
    tell 
    their 
    Dad 

    Just 
    how much 
    they 
    love 
    him 

    That's 
    lesson 
    wish 
    woulda 
    learned 

    Before 
    that 
    phone 
    call 

    came 
    an
    ' it 
    was her 

    No, 
    Momma 
    never 
    had 
    to 
    say 
    a word 

    knew 
    it was 
    too 
    late 

    That's

    • 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.
