    • Verse 1
    (I 
    started writing 
    a song 
    about 

    Chris 
    Gentry) 

    (End up writing 
    about Dennis 
    Hopper, 

    Johnny 
    Cash, 
    Norman, 
    Norbert) 

    (Funky Donnie 
    Fritts, Billy 
    Swam, 

    Boddy 
    Neuwirth, Jerry 
    Jeff 
    Walker) 

    (Paul Siebel, 
    and Ramblin' 
    Jack 

    Elliot 
    had a lot 
    to do with 
    it) 

    Verse 2
    See him 
    wasted 
    on 
    the sidewalk 

    in his 
    jacket 
    and 
    his jeans 

    Wearin' 
    yesterday's 

    misfortunes 
    like 
    a smile 

    Once 
    he 
    had 
    a future 
    full 
    of 
    money, 

    love, 
    and dream
    s 

    Which he 
    spent 
    like 
    they 

    was 
    goin' 
    outta 
    style 

    And 
    he 
    keeps 
    right 
    on 
    a'changin' for 

    the 
    better 
    or 
    the worse 

    Searchin' 
    for 
    a shrine 

    he's 
    never 
    found 

    Never 
    knowin' 
    if 
    believin' 
    is 

    a bless
    in' 
    or 
    a curse 

    Or if the 
    goin' 
    up 
    was 
    worth 

    the comin' 
    down 

    Verse 3

    He's 
    a po
    et, 
    and he's 
    a picker 

    He's 
    a proph
    et, 
    he's 
    a pusher 

    He's 
    a 
    pilgrim 
    and 
    a preacher, 

    and 
    a problem 
    when he's 
    stoned 

    He's 
    a walkin' 
    contradiction, 

    partly 
    truth 
    and 
    partly 
    fiction 

    Takin' 
    ev'ry 
    wrong 
    direction 
    on 

    his 
    lonely 
    way 
    back 
    home 

    Verse 4

    He has 
    tasted 
    good 
    and 
    evil 
    in 
    your 

    bedrooms 
    and 
    your bars 

    And 
    he's 
    traded 
    in 

    tomorrow 
    for 
    today 

    Runnin' 
    from 
    his 
    devils, 
    Lord, 

    and 
    reachin' 
    for 
    the stars 

    And 
    losin' 
    all 
    he's 
    loved 
    along 
    the way 

    But if 
    this 
    world 
    keeps 
    right 
    on turnin' 

    for 
    the better 
    or 
    the worse 

    And all 
    he 
    ever 
    gets 
    is 
    older 
    and 
    around 

    From 
    the 
    rockin' 
    of 
    the cradle 
    to 

    the 
    rollin' 
    of 
    the hearse 

    The goin' 
    up 
    was 
    worth 

    the comin' 
    down 

    Verse 5

    He's 
    a po
    et, 
    and 
    he's 
    a picker 

    He's 
    a prophet, 
    he's 
    a pusher 

    He's 
    a 
    pilgrim 
    and 
    a preacher, 

    and 
    a problem 
    when 
    he's 
    stoned 

    He's 
    a walk
    in' 
    contradiction, 

    partly 
    truth 
    and 
    partly 
    fiction 

    Takin' 
    ev'ry 
    wrong 
    direction 

    on 
    his 
    lonely 
    way 
    back 
    home 

    There's 
    a lotta 
    wrong 
    directions 

    on 
    that 
    lonely 
    way 
    back 
    home

      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.
