  • Verse 1
    The night club 
    was 
    burn
    ing 

    From 
    the 
    torch 
    singer's 
    song 

    And 
    the sweat 
    was 
    floodin' 
    her 
    eye

    The 
    catwalk 
    squeaked 

    'Neath 
    the 
    bar
    tender's 
    feet 

    And the 
    smoke 
    was 
    too 
    heavy 

    to rise 

    Verse 2

    [Chorus:] 

    She sang 
    of 
    the 
    love 
    that 
    I left 
    her 

    And 
    of 
    the 
    woman 
    that 

    she'll 
    never 
    be 

    Made 
    me feel 
    like 
    the 
    buck 

    and 
    a quarter

    That 
    paid 
    'em 
    to 
    listen 
    and 
    see 

    paid 
    'em 
    to 
    listen 
    and 
    see 

    was 
    born 
    down 
    in 
    Kansas 

    'Neath 
    the 
    October 
    sky 

    Work 
    the day 
    shift 
    from 
    seven 
    to three 

    And 
    the 
    only 
    relief 
    that 
    receive 

    Is 
    nearer 
    my 
    God 
    to 
    Thee 

    She 
    con
    stantly 
    throws 
    me 
    off 
    tim
    ing 

    Leaves 
    me standing 
    both 

    naked 
    and 
    bare 

    Makes 
    me 
    feel 
    like 
    the Sunday 
    fun
    nies 

    After 
    everything's 
    gone 
    off 

    the 
    air 

    Everything's 
    gone 
    off 
    the 
    air 

    picked 
    through 
    the 
    ashes 

    Of 
    the 
    torch 
    singer's 
    song 

    And 
    ordered 
    my 
    money 
    round 

    For 
    whiskey 
    and 
    pain 

    Both 
    taste 
    the same 

    During 
    the time 
    they 
    go 
    down 

    Verse 3
    [Chor

    • 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.
