    I 
    was 

    down 
    upon 
    my 
    luck 

    at the 
    job
    s were 
    hard to find
    . 

    I 
    was sort 
    of short 
    on cash 

    and my 
    bill was way 
    behind. 

    So I 
    went 
    to see 
    my lifelong 
    friend, 

    an 
    old man 
    now betrayed. 

    I 
    figured as hell 
    he'd 
    help me out 

    with this 
    fortune he'd 
    made. 

    I 
    said, 
    old pal, 
    I 
    need your help, 

    and I 
    hate to be 
    so 
    bold 

    But 
    remember when 
    I saved 
    your life 

    down 
    at the 
    swimming hole? 

    Now I'd 
    like to ask 
    a favor, 

    if 
    you 
    can see 
    your way 

    I'd 
    like 
    to get 
    a little 
    loan, 

    then I 
    heard him 
    say 

    Excuse 
    me, total 
    stranger, 

    I 
    can't 
    seem to 
    recall 

    Now 
    are 
    you really 
    certain 

    that 
    we've ever 
    met 
    at all? 

    I'd really 
    like to 
    help you 
    out, 

    as 
    he opened 
    wide 
    the door 

    A 
    so 
    long total 
    stranger 

    that 
    I've never 
    seen 
    be
    fore 

    Now 
    once 
    I had 
    a girlfriend 

    who 
    really 
    caught 
    my eye

    And 
    when 
    my wife 
    was out 
    of town, 


    I'd caught 
    her on 
    the sly 

    We'd 
    taken all 
    the night 
    spots 

    and honky 
    -tonk 
    around 

    Join 
    in all 
    the parties 

    and 
    really 
    paint 
    the town 

    But 
    then 
    one night 
    my wife 
    came 
    home, 

    she 
    must have smelled 
    a 
    rat 

    She 
    looked 
    around 
    from place 

    to place 

    and found 
    where I 
    was at 

    Well, 
    there 
    we were, 
    all covered 
    up, 

    I knew 
    that I 
    was dead 

    But 
    before 
    my wife 
    could say 
    a word, 

    I jumped 
    right 
    up and said 

    She's 
    just 
    a total 
    stranger 

    who 
    came 
    in off 
    the street 

    The 
    place 
    was kinda 
    crowded, 

    so 
    I offered 
    her 
    a seat 

    Now, 
    I couldn't 
    leave 
    this lady 

    just 
    a -standin' 
    on 
    the floor 

    She's 
    just 
    a total 
    stranger 

    that 
    I've never 
    seen 
    be
    fore 

    Now, 
    her friend 
    said, 
    let's go huntin' 

    I've 
    got 
    the gun 
    and shells, 

    and the birds 
    are ready 
    flyin' 

    And I 
    think 
    we'll do 
    quite well 

    But 
    he shot 
    a half 
    a dozen 

    And then 
    said, 
    I 
    suppose 

    I 
    really 
    ought to 
    tell you that 

    The 
    hunting 
    season's 
    closed 

    About 
    that time 
    he heard 
    a noise 

    And stepped 
    behind 
    a tree 

    He 
    took 
    the gun, 
    the birds, 

    the 
    shell
    s 

    And gave them all 
    to me 

    Up 
    stepped 
    the old 
    game warden 

    And 
    found 
    me standing 
    there 

    And 
    then 
    to my 
    com
    plete 
    sur
    prise 

    I heard 
    my friend 
    declare 

    He's 
    just 
    a total 
    stranger 

    An
    d I 
    was passin' 
    by 

    I 
    saw 
    this total 
    stranger 

    shoot 
    those birds 
    out of 
    the sky 

    It's 
    a shame 
    the way some 
    people 

    these 
    laws 
    they do 
    ignore 

    Like 
    this total 
    stranger 

    that 
    I've never 
    seen 
    be
    fore

    • 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.”
