    • Verse 1
    If I 
    had 
    a lot 
    of money 

    I'd move 
    to 
    another 
    country 

    I'd 
    disappear, 
    not 
    tell 
    a soul, 

    I'd 
    change 
    my 
    name 

    Or 
    maybe 
    I'd go 
    back 
    to 
    school 

    Major 
    in 
    something 
    foolish 

    And 
    I 
    could 
    do 
    it cause 
    I'd 

    have a 
    lot 
    of money 

    Here 
    I 
    am 
    holding 
    on 
    to 

    childhood's 
    dream 

    Sitting 
    in 
    my 
    apple 
    tree 

    Swaying 
    as 
    the 
    branches 

    tremble 
    under 
    me 

    Verse 2
    The 
    jig 
    is up, 
    it's 
    all been 
    played 

    The well 
    is dry, 
    the bed's 
    been 
    made 

    The jig 
    is 
    up, 
    the jig 
    is 
    up 

    May
    Verse 3
    be 
    I 
    could 
    jump, 

    Jump 
    off the 
    Brooklyn 
    Bridge 

    But 
    I don't 
    live in 
    Brooklyn 

    And 
    I 
    don't 
    know 
    how 
    to 
    swim 

    Or 
    I 
    could find 
    reli
    gion 

    Go on 
    some 
    kind 
    of mis
    sion 

    Feed 
    the poor, 

    and then 
    I would 
    go 
    to heav
    en 

    If I 
    believed 
    in 
    heaven 

    Verse 4
    Here 
    I 
    am, 

    holding 
    on 
    to 
    childhood's 
    dream 

    Standing 
    on 
    the 
    balcony 

    Waiting 
    for 
    someone 
    to 
    come 
    and 
    rescue 
    me 

    The 
    Verse 5
    jig 
    is up, 
    the 
    dance 
    is done 

    The 
    record 
    skips, 

    the 
    song's 
    been 
    sung 

    The troops 
    have dwindled 
    down 
    to 
    one 

    The jig 
    is 
    up 

    The jig 
    is 
    up, the 
    sun 
    has 
    set 

    The 
    train 
    is wrecked, 
    the 
    sheets 
    are wet 

    And 
    like 
    I said, 
    the jig 
    is 
    up 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 6
    Well I can
    't 
    really 
    disap
    pear 

    Cause I 
    don't 
    have a 
    lot 

    of money 

    And I don't 
    really 
    think 
    I want 
    to 

    Go 
    back 
    to school 

    But 
    maybe 
    I'm 
    just 
    in a bad 
    mood 

    And I 
    need 
    to change 
    my 
    at
    titude 

    And 
    when I 
    wake 
    up tomorrow 

    I'll 
    believe 
    in heaven 

    Verse 7
    Here 
    I 
    am, 

    hold
    ing 
    on 
    to 
    childhood's 
    dream 

    Climbing 
    down 
    the 
    apple 
    tree 

    Waking 
    as 
    you 
    pull 
    the 
    covers 
    off 
    of 
    me 

    The 
    jig 
    is 
    up 

    Verse 8

    The 
    jig 
    is 
    up, 
    yes 
    it's been 
    tough 

    The 
    punch 
    is drunk, 
    the 
    shrink 
    is shrunk 

    It's 
    time 
    to get 
    the 
    baby 
    up 

    It's 
    off 
    to work 
    let's 
    start 
    the 
    car 

    We'll 
    turn 
    it 
    over 
    in 
    its 
    grave 

    And 
    start 
    again 
    its soul 
    to 
    save 

    The 
    jig 
    is 
    up but 
    so 
    what 

    We'll 
    fill 
    again 
    this 
    empty 
    cup 

    The 
    jig 
    is up, 
    the 
    point's 
    been made 

    Elvis 
    has just 
    left 
    the 
    stage 

    The 
    story 
    needs 
    an
    other 
    twist 

    And 
    I 
    have had 
    enough 
    of this

      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

      "

      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.
