  • Verse 1
    He said, 
    "Pardon 
    me 
    for bein' 
    so bold 

    But 
    you got 
    a cigarette 
    that's 

    already 
    rolled" 

    I gave 
    him 
    one, 

    he 
    lit 
    it in his 
    own 
    good 
    time 

    The smoke 
    in 
    that poolroom 

    hung 
    like a fog 

    When he talked 
    it sounded 

    like 
    a growling 
    dog 

    He said, 
    "Would you care 
    for a dollar 

    on the 
    five 
    or nine?" 

    Verse 2
    Now this 
    man 
    was ugly 

    and his 
    eyes 
    were mean 

    His 
    clothes 
    were dirty 
    but 

    his hands 
    were 
    clean 

    He 
    held that 
    stick 
    like 
    mother 
    holds 

    the hand 
    of her child 

    Well, I've 
    been known 
    to hustle 
    a few 

    When 
    the 
    waitress 
    said, 

    "Was he 
    playing 
    you?" 

    And I 
    said, "Yeah, 

    bring me 
    brandy 
    water 
    by" 

    Verse 3

    Little 
    Red Parker 
    was 
    way 
    in the back 

    taking 
    quarters 
    and 
    handling 
    racks 

    And 
    I told 
    him, "Red, 
    come up 
    here, 

    glue 'em 
    up tight 

    That 
    brandy 
    had 
    me 
    feel
    ing 
    warm, 

    I tipped 
    that 
    waitress 

    And I checked 
    her form 

    And 
    said, "Honey, 
    you like 
    a winner", 

    and 
    she just 
    smiled 

    Verse 4

    I played 
    like 
    a man 
    with 
    a broken 
    wrist, 

    I won 
    two 
    and he 
    won 
    six 

    And 
    I had 
    him set 
    up 
    so 
    I said, 

    "Let's 
    play 
    for five" 

    But 
    this time 
    the crowd 

    had gathered 
    round 

    To see 
    this 
    fish 
    and just watch 
    him drown 

    I told 
    that 
    waitress, 

    "More 
    brandy 
    water 
    by" 

    Verse 5

    Then he went 
    out 
    and got 
    cus
    tom 
    cue 

    He 
    said, "It's 
    no 
    offense 
    to you 

    But 
    I don't 
    play off 
    the 
    wall 

    with 
    nobody 
    but 
    friend
    s" 

    He 
    had a 
    gold 
    initials 
    in a 
    leather 
    grip 

    pearly 
    and 
    silver 
    inlaid 
    tip 

    He smiled 
    at 
    me and he 
    said, 
    "Hell-a-way, 

    we we we 
    play 
    for ten" 

    Verse 6
    Well, I 
    never 
    seen 
    man 
    that walk 
    who made 

    those 
    balls 
    and 
    table 
    talk 

    They're 
    speaking 
    English, 

    he sure 
    didn't 
    need my 
    help 

    He broke 
    the 
    ball 
    and kep
    t that 
    string 

    For a 
    hun
    dred and 
    eighty seven 

    bucks 
    and a ring 

    Till 
    gave 
    up and 
    said, 
    "Friend, 

    you're gonna 
    have to 
    play by 
    yourself" 

    Verse 7

    Well, he 
    racked 
    it up 
    and 
    walked 
    outside 

    And 
    I strolled 
    out 
    just to 
    watch 
    him ride 

    And 
    there was 
    a blond 
    in their caddy 

    built 
    like 
    the rest 
    of that 
    car 

    The boys 
    in 
    the poolroom 

    they 
    had 'em 
    laugh 

    And 
    I hung 
    it up 
    and just 
    let it pass 

    And 
    had nothin' 
    but 
    my 

    elbows 
    to put 
    on the 
    bar 

    And 
    Verse 8
    the waitress 
    smiled 
    said, 

    "Water 
    by?" 

    took the 
    charity 
    and 
    thanked 
    her polite 

    And 
    sittin' 
    there sippin' 
    and suddenly 

    I had me 
    a thought 

    Unlucky 
    gambler 
    and 
    lucky 
    in love 

    Guess you 
    know what 
    I was 

    thinking 
    of 

    When I said 
    waitress, 
    "Hon
    ey, 

    what time 
    you get 
    off?"

    • 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.
