Only shit I own is hangin'

Cause I'm the apple of
Em

Michael's eye
A

We go out steppin' on

the town for a while

My money's low and my

suits ain't in style

But it's all right,

because my clothes ain't new

Out of sight, you know my heart is true

A

She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say,

I guess her folks brought her

up that way.

On the right side of the track,
G
A

she was born and raised in a great big old house full of

butlers and maids.

She said, no one is better than I
Em
A

And I know I'm just an average guy

No football hero, no smooth -on -one
G
A

Got empty pockets, you see,

I'm a poor man's son

Can't give her the things

that money can buy

But I never, never,

never make my little girl cry
G

And all right, what I can't do
A

Out of sight, because my heart is true
G

She said, baby, everything is all right.

  • 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.
