  • Verse 1
    A man 
    of great 
    ambition 

    he pushed 
    himself 
    to be 

    A man 
    upon 
    a mission 
    with 

    great riches 
    to 
    achieve 

    All 
    his friends 
    admired 
    him, 

    And every 
    word 
    they trusted 

    and believed. 

    And 
    the 
    odds seemed 

    forever 
    in 
    his favor. 

    He made 
    a sound 
    investment 

    in his 
    own abilities 

    Healthy 
    clientele 
    and some 

    commit
    ted 
    employ
    ees 

    Well 
    regarded 
    in 
    the town, 

    money 
    to 
    be made, 
    and cash 
    be found. 

    And 
    the 
    odds 
    seem forever 
    in 
    his favor. 

    Verse 2
    Sooner 
    or later 
    the 
    man 

    is bound 
    to fall! 

    One 
    fine 
    day 
    Sir, 
    sooner 
    or 
    later 

    the empires 
    are 
    bound 
    to 
    fall! 

    The 
    wind 
    blows 
    forever 
    without 
    waver 

    Be
    cause 
    ? dawn 

    But the 
    odds 
    were not en

    deavored 

    Forever 
    in your 
    favor! 

    Verse 3
    He 
    bought 
    a grander 
    house 
    on a 

    more ex
    pensive 
    street 

    Quite 
    a price to 
    pay for 

    a place to 
    rest 
    his feet 

    Felt the 
    water 
    rise 
    before 
    he knew 

    it wasn't 
    all 
    back 
    again 

    Still he 
    thought 
    he had 
    the odds 
    in his 
    favor. 

    He 
    had to 
    disappoint 
    you, the 

    banker 
    did not 
    yield 

    The string 
    of 
    repossessions, his 

    wife's expensive 
    heels 

    But 
    sit
    ting 
    down 
    upon the 
    curb 
    he felt 

    sud
    den 
    feeling 
    of 
    relief 

    And he 
    knew the 
    odds 
    were 

    far from 
    in his 
    favor. 

    Sooner 
    or 
    later 
    Verse 4
    the man 
    is bound 
    to 
    fall! 

    One 
    fine 
    day 
    Sir, 
    sooner 
    or 
    later 

    the 
    empires 
    are bound to 
    fall! 

    'Cause the 
    wind 
    blows 

    forever 
    without 
    waver 

    ? can't 
    crack 
    stone 

    But the 
    odds 
    were not en

    deavored 

    Forever 
    in your 
    favor! 

    Verse 5

    You're 
    expensive 
    pockets 
    are empty 

    and you're 
    feeling 
    insec
    ure 

    think you 
    may resent 
    it, in fact, 

    I'm 
    pretty 
    sure 

    Is 
    being 
    wealthy 
    really 
    all that 
    far from 

    being 
    poor, I'm 
    not so 
    sure! 

    And the 
    odds 
    are not forever 
    in your favur!

    • 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.
