  • Verse 1
    was 
    sittin' 

    and drinkin' 
    in 
    an 
    old 
    friend's 
    apart
    ment 

    On 
    the 
    west 
    side 
    of 

    Nashville 
    one 
    night 

    And 
    in 
    this 
    apartment 
    he 

    had 
    these 
    three 
    sofas 

    He 
    had 
    two 
    too 
    many 
    all 
    right 

    said, 
    buddy, 
    tell 
    me 
    about 
    these 
    three 
    so
    fas 

    and 
    start 
    with 
    that 
    black 
    one 
    there 
    first 

    He 
    said, 
    there's 
    story 
    in 
    each 
    of 
    these 
    so
    fas, 

    but 
    give 
    me 
    minute 
    for 
    quenching 
    my 
    thirst 

    He 
    said, 
    now 
    that 
    first 
    one 
    is 
    good 
    one 
    for 
    sweep

    ing 
    got 
    that 
    one 
    from 
    my 
    first 
    wife 

    She 
    left 
    me 
    half 
    crazy, 

    took 
    all 
    of 
    the 
    ba
    bies 

    And 
    drove 
    off 
    to 

    Houston 
    one 
    night 

    Well 
    did 
    as 
    pleased 
    and 

    said 
    what 
    thought 

    And 
    it 
    drove 
    her 
    right 
    out 
    of 
    her 
    mind 

    So 
    many 
    ab
    uses 
    an
    no 
    damned 
    ex
    cuses 

    I've 
    often 
    been 
    told 
    that 
    I'm 
    one 
    of 
    that 
    kind 

    Now 
    that 
    second 
    sofa, 

    got 
    that 
    from 
    pal 

    Who 
    was 
    broke 
    and 
    was 

    headed 
    back 
    home 

    He 
    was 
    rim 
    cut 
    and 
    rusty, 

    boozed 
    out 
    and 
    dusty 

    And 
    got 
    that 
    thing 
    for 
    song 

    On 
    long 
    winter 
    evenings 
    I'd 

    sit 
    on 
    that 
    so
    fa 

    And 
    listen 
    to 
    that 
    fella 
    sing 

    Well 
    could 
    do 
    without 
    it 

    But 
    there's 
    something 
    about 
    it 

    That 
    makes 
    me 
    be
    lieve 
    I'm 
    at
    tached 
    to 
    the 
    thing 



    That 
    third 
    one 
    right 
    there, 

    there's 
    story 
    about 
    it 

    got 
    that 
    one 
    from 
    my 
    second 
    wife 

    middle 
    -aged 
    lady 
    with 
    money 
    to 
    spend 

    guess 
    she 
    was 
    the 
    love 
    of 
    my 
    life 

    like 
    to 
    never 
    got 
    that 

    damn 
    thing 
    in 
    here 

    Cause 
    it 
    don't 
    seem 
    to 
    fit 
    any 
    house 

    It's 
    oblong 
    and 
    shapeless 

    It's 
    ugly 
    and 
    tasteless 

    But 
    got 
    it 
    in 
    here 
    and 
    I'll 
    get 
    it out 

    thanked 
    him 
    for 
    telling 

    the 
    three 
    sofa 
    story 

    yawned 
    and 
    said 
    my 
    good 
    night 

    And 
    on 
    my 
    way 
    home 

    con
    sidered 
    the 
    sofas 

    An
    how 
    they 
    were 

    part 
    of 
    his 
    life 

    Buddies 
    and 
    sweethearts, 

    the winners 
    and 
    losers 

    Kept 
    con
    juring 
    up 
    in 
    my 
    mind 

    And 
    it's 
    all 
    in 
    the 
    telling 
    of 

    the 
    three 
    sofa 
    story 

    Just 
    one 
    of 
    the 
    places 
    where 
    have 
    done 
    time

    • 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.
