    Verse 1
    I 
    hope 
    they're 
    doing 
    okay. 

    I 
    left 
    my 
    wife 
    and 
    kids 
    back 
    in 

    LA. 
    I 
    wasn't 
    no 
    good 
    at playing 
    house
    , 

    so 
    I 
    star
    ted 
    heading 
    south. 

    A 
    busboy 
    said 
    you 
    best 
    keep 

    away 
    from 
    the 
    water 

    La 

    Barra 

    Zon
    a 

    Ros
    so 
    was 
    my 
    home 

    Some 
    guys 
    they 
    never 

    heard 
    the 
    phrase 

    When 
    in

    Rome, 
    she'd 
    knife 
    that 
    stupid 
    sail
    or 

    Now 
    he's 
    gonna 
    need 
    a 
    tail
    or 
    for 
    his 
    very 

    special 
    day 
    away 
    on 
    the 
    wa
    ter 

    I 
    thought 
    it 
    would 
    be 
    very 
    nice 

    To 
    go 
    downtown 
    and 

    see 
    the 
    bullfight 

    But 
    the 
    beast 
    had 
    not 
    a 
    chance 

    when 
    I 
    saw 
    the 
    lance 

    I 
    heard 
    the 
    sound 
    of 
    a 

    Volkswagen 

    They 
    tied 
    his 
    body 
    to 
    the 
    bumper 

    an
    d 
    started 
    dragging 

    I 
    saw 
    the 
    blood 
    separate 

    away 


    I 
    left 
    my 
    wife 
    and 
    kids 
    back 
    in 

    L 
    .A. 
    I 
    was 
    no 
    good 
    at 
    killin' 

    so 
    I 
    started 
    up 
    gin 
    millin' 

    And 
    I 
    still 
    just 
    keep 
    away 

    from 
    the 
    water 

    I 
    was 
    no 
    good 
    at 
    killin' 

    so 
    I 
    started 
    up 
    killin' 

    And 
    I 
    still 
    just 
    keep 
    away 
    to 

    this 
    day 
    from 
    the 
    water

      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

      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.
