    My 
    dear 
    brothers 
    and sisters, 

    I'm 
    going 
    to speak 
    to you this 
    morning 
    from 
    this famous 
    subject, 

    It 

    Was 

    Tight 

    Like 

    That. 

    As 
    we find 
    ourselves 
    standing 
    upon 
    the pathway 
    of 
    life 
    and 

    realizing 
    the many 
    difficulties 
    through 
    which 
    we have 
    come 

    and 
    the 
    many battles 
    in 
    which we 
    have fought 

    against 
    our en
    emies 
    and the 
    devil himself, 

    we 
    can all 
    truthfully 
    say, 

    it 
    was tight 
    like 
    that. 

    This 
    seems 
    to 
    be a 
    hard 
    and tight 
    world 

    we're 
    living in 
    these 
    days. 

    It's 
    getting 
    so 
    nobody 
    won't 

    be bothered 
    with 
    you 

    Unless 
    you've 
    got something 

    to give 
    them 

    Old 
    friends 
    don't 
    want to 

    know you 
    anymore 

    An
    new 
    friends 
    don't 

    want 
    to meet 
    you 

    An
    d strangers 
    don't 
    want to be 

    bothered 
    with you 

    An
    you'll find 
    yourself 
    in 
    the 

    middle of 
    a bad 
    streak 

    Running 
    tight 
    like that, 
    just 
    pink 

    When 
    a man 
    is 
    cold, 
    hungry 
    and 
    dead 

    And 
    ain't 
    got no 
    job 

    And 
    you can't 
    borrow 
    any 
    money 

    And 
    your 
    credit 
    is no 
    good 

    Your 
    wife 
    is bustling 

    And 
    the 
    strong 
    and fine, 
    brother, 

    will 
    feel 
    like to 
    inhale 
    when 
    it's 
    tight 
    like that 

    Lord, 
    have 
    mercy 

    Lord, 
    have 
    mercy 

    Lord, 
    have 

    My 

    God 
    promised 
    me 
    home 

    There 
    is 
    but one 

    God, 

    God 

    Almighty 

    My 

    God 
    prom
    ised 
    me 
    home 

    have been 
    warning 
    you 
    men and women, 

    that these 
    hard 
    times 
    would come, 
    when time 
    would 
    be tight. 

    Jobs 
    would 
    be hard 
    to get, 

    and you 
    couldn't 
    get much 
    money. 

    You 
    should have 
    made preparations 
    for 
    these 
    hard 
    times, 

    when 
    it 
    was tight 
    like 
    that. 

    But 
    now, 
    you've 
    run 
    through 
    with all 
    your money, 

    you've 
    lost your 
    job, 
    and 
    starvation 
    is 
    at 
    your door. 

    Don't 
    bring me 
    your troubles 
    now! 

    My 

    God 
    promised 
    me 
    home 

    There 
    is 
    but one 

    God, 

    God 

    Almighty 

    My 

    God 
    prom
    ised 
    me 
    home 



    Don't 
    bring me 
    your troubles 
    now, 

    I can't 
    use them 

    Bring 
    me some 
    money, 

    and 
    bring along 
    a few 
    hams 
    and chickens 

    It's 
    money I 
    want, 

    and 
    money 
    I must 
    have 

    And 
    plenty of 
    something to 
    eat, 

    so I 
    can satisfy 

    My 
    gast
    ro 
    -pneumothorpe 
    princesses, 

    when 
    it's feist 
    like 
    that 

    Get 
    ready, 
    salvation 
    is 
    coming 

    Come 
    down, 
    you high 
    -minded men 



    Don't 
    let your 
    money in 
    your job, 
    spend 
    your head 
    on 
    prodigal 
    son, 
    had 
    plenty 
    of money 
    but 
    he 
    lost 
    all he 
    had, 

    when 
    you type 
    like 
    that, 
    don't try 
    to be 
    hooked or 
    not. 

    It's 
    all 
    I can 
    do now, 
    but 
    believe 
    me 
    when 
    think 
    about 
    the past, 

    this 
    world 
    won't hold 
    me any 
    day. 

    In 
    my young 
    days, 

    I had 
    my 
    time. 
    I was 
    tight 
    like 
    that. 

    Yes, 
    mister, 
    but 
    you ain't 

    got noth
    in' on 
    me. 

    How 
    can 
    you 
    feel 
    so happy, 

    Mr. 

    Loosey, 
    when your 
    house 
    rent 
    is due, 

    and 
    your behind 
    is 
    your furniture 
    bill, 

    and your 
    large 
    shoes 
    are not 
    paid, 

    and 
    your behind 
    is your 
    pastoral 
    salary, 

    and you have 
    left 
    no money, 
    no 
    friends, 

    Everything 
    is 
    tight like 
    that. 

    What do 
    you do? 

    Well, 
    the 
    past was 
    everything 
    just 

    tight 
    like 
    that. 
    I just 
    let 
    the bills 
    go. 

    ain't 
    gonna let 
    nothing 

    set 
    my soul 
    to 
    hell. 

    When 
    I ain't 
    got no 
    money, 

    I got 
    good 
    religion. 

    Glory 
    had 
    it in 
    me. 

    Yeah, 
    religion's 
    all right. 

    wanna tell 
    you 
    all 
    now. 

    When your 
    bills 
    are due, 

    oh, they 
    shut the 
    door. 

    And 
    your friends 
    all 
    go 
    home. 

    Everything 
    is tight 
    like 
    that. 

    Better have 
    some 
    money in 
    your pocket. 

    How 
    do you 
    feel, 

    when it's 
    right 
    back there? 

    Yeah, 
    man! 






    Thanks 
    for watching!

      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 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.

      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.
