    • Verse 1
    When I got 
    out of prep 
    school 
    and went to 
    college, 

    I was only 
    about 
    30 minutes 
    from a football 
    scholarship... 

    I 
    went 
    a little girl 
    crazy. 

    Verse 2
    One 
    in particular 
    that I remember 
    and 
    all my friends 
    warned 
    me 
    off of 
    her cause 
    she was, 

    uh, 
    she belonged 
    to a Baltimore 
    Colt had 
    been there 
    the year before. 

    I 
    didn't pay much 
    attention... 

    Verse 3
    Back 
    in 
    '62 there 
    came 
    a brand 

    new 
    girl 
    to 
    school 

    Knew I 
    had 
    to get 
    her 

    Everybody 
    told 
    me 
    I'd never 
    get busted 
    for 
    my 
    cool, 

    but I 
    was 
    getting' bet
    ter 

    Verse 4
    So 
    then 
    I 
    asked 
    a friend 
    who 

    used 
    to win 
    the girls, 

    would 
    he try 
    and help me 
    win 
    her? 

    "I don't 
    know 
    son; your 
    style 
    ain't good 

    and 
    your manner's 
    are bad, 

    you don't 
    love Je
    sus 
    and 

    the truth 
    ain't 
    in 
    you" 

    Verse 5
    So I started 
    tryin' 
    to get her 
    attention, 

    in 
    little subtle 
    ways 
    like, 

    diving 
    down the stairs 
    in front 
    of her, 


    runnin' my 
    pants 
    up the flagpole, 

    streakin 
    in the dormitory. 

    None 
    of it seemed 
    to work 

    Verse 6
    So, 
    I went 
    back to 
    the same 
    friend 
    that 
    I'd talk 
    to before 
    and he 
    said 
    I'd 
    have to study 
    her movements 
    a little 
    bit... and 
    find 
    out when 

    I could get 
    her alone. 
    I found 
    out 
    she went to 
    the 
    laundrymat's on 
    Tuesdays 
    and 
    I could 
    probably 
    find 
    her there... 
    So 
    I did 

    She 
    said the 
    Verse 7
    laundrymat ain't 
    where 
    it's 
    at, 

    you shouldn't 
    try 
    to call 
    and courtin's a problem 

    Now she 
    gonna 
    call 
    her friend, 
    a coach 
    310,

    seven 
    feet 
    tall, 
    he came to 
    stop 
    her 

    Verse 8
    I said 
    if you say 
    yes, 
    I'll try 
    my 
    Sunday 
    best, 

    there ain't hardly 
    nothing 
    I can think 
    of 
    I 
    wouldn't 
    do 
    to 
    win you 

    She 
    said "I 
    don't know about 
    you 
    boy, 


    you're com
    plexion 
    bad, 
    your breath 
    stink, 

    you ain't 
    as clever 
    as you 
    think, 

    You 
    don't 
    love Jesus 
    and 
    the 

    truth 
    ain't in 
    you, 

    the truth 
    ain't 
    in you" 

    Verse 9
    "You're complexion 
    bad, 
    your breath 
    stink, 

    you 
    ain't as clever 
    as you 
    think 

    don't 
    love Jesus 
    and 

    the 
    truth 
    ain't 
    in you, 

    Outro 1
    the 
    truth 
    ain't 
    in you"

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
