    Verse 1
    When 
    you're too 

    old 
    for 
    the swings 

    You tend 
    to 
    choose 
    the slide 

    And 
    they never 
    seem 
    to 
    warn 
    you 

    The slide's 
    your final 
    ride 

    And 
    when 
    you're 
    at 
    the 
    top 
    of 
    it 

    And 
    you 
    can
    not 
    see 
    the 
    end 

    Either 
    don't 
    let 
    go 
    son 
    - Or grab 

    the nearest 
    friend 

    The slide 
    is 
    no 
    respecter 
    of 

    dignity 
    or class 

    As soon 
    as 
    you 
    sit 
    down 
    on 
    it 

    That slide 
    has 
    got 
    your 
    ass 

    Verse 2
    Don't take 
    the slide, 
    don't 
    take 
    the 
    slide 

    Heroes 
    and 
    villains 
    have 

    tried 
    an
    d cried 

    A broken 
    soul 
    at 
    the bottom 
    lies 
    denied 

    Don't 
    take 
    the slide, 

    Interlude 1
    don't 
    take 
    the slide 


    Verse 3
    When 
    the slide 
    was 
    invented 

    A thousand 
    drinkers 
    sighed 

    They thought 
    they 
    had 
    the copyright 

    On 
    the very 
    word 
    the slide 

    It's 
    a picture 
    of 
    innocence 

    On 
    which 
    the 
    innocent 
    have fried 

    Take 
    the 
    helter 
    skelter 
    son 

    It's 
    easier 
    than 
    the slide 

    Advice 
    to 
    listening 
    parents 

    Or 
    the 
    father 
    of 
    the bride 

    Let 
    them 
    marry 
    anyone 

    But 
    don't 
    let 
    her 
    take 
    the 
    slide

    the bottom 

    lies 
    denied 

    Don't take 
    the slide, 

    Interlude 2
    don't 
    take 
    the slide 


    Verse 5
    It'll 
    take 
    you much 
    much 
    lower 

    Than 
    you 
    ever 
    would 
    have 
    asked 

    'Cause 
    as soon 
    as 
    you 
    sit 
    down 
    on 
    it 

    The slide 
    has 
    got 
    your 
    ass 

    - It's 
    customers 
    are fools 

    And 
    every 
    one 
    of 
    them 
    deceased 

    The long 
    and silver 
    murderer 

    The devil 
    must 
    have 
    greased

    cried 

    A pile 
    of 
    broken 
    souls 
    at the bottom 

    it

      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.
