    Verse 1
    I'm 
    weary 

    and I'm 
    staying 
    up 
    late 

    And the 
    rain hits 
    my roof 
    so 
    hard 

    You 
    know I'm 
    no longer 
    thirty 

    These 
    days 
    I'm 
    happy 
    to play 

    One 
    or two 
    hands 
    of cards 

    hate flies 
    in the 
    kitchen 
    buzz
    ing 

    Dis
    turbing 
    the peace 
    I've found 

    For
    tune 
    and fame 
    is so fleeting 

    These 
    days 
    I'm 
    happy 
    to say 

    I'm amazed 
    that 
    I'm 
    still 
    around 

    And the 
    Verse 2
    weight 
    of the world 

    is 
    off my 
    back 

    When we 
    fell, we 
    got 
    up 

    And 
    crawled 
    out 
    the cracks 

    Excuse 
    me if 
    I take 

    some com
    fort 
    in that 

    Happy 
    today, 
    happy 
    to play 

    With 
    the 
    weight 
    of the world 

    off 
    of 
    my 
    back 

    Hu
    Verse 3
    midity 
    hangs 
    like 
    a curtain 

    Oh, 
    it fog
    up my 
    glasses 
    sometimes 

    You 
    know 
    I've still got 
    my 
    eyesight 

    These 
    days 
    I'm 
    happy 
    to see 

    sunset 
    in
    stead 
    of a line 

    And 
    the 
    Verse 4
    weight 
    of the world 

    is 
    off my 
    back 

    When we 
    fell, we 
    got 
    up 

    And 
    crawled 
    out 
    the cracks 

    Excuse me 
    if 
    I take 

    some com
    fort 
    in that 

    Happy 
    today, 
    happy 
    to play 

    With 
    the 
    weight 
    of the world 

    off 
    of 
    my 
    back 

    Verse 5
    There's 
    long 
    list 
    of names 

    That 
    don't 
    recall 

    Even 
    though 
    my 
    memory's 
    good 

    The 
    rain 
    washed 
    away 

    The 
    lemons 
    and 
    weeds 

    When the 
    weight 
    of the world 
    weighed 

    more 
    than 
    it 
    should 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 6
    hate flies 
    in 
    the kitchen 
    buzzing 

    Dis
    turbing 
    the peace 
    I've found 

    Fortune 
    and fame 
    is so fleeting 

    These 
    days 
    I'm 
    happy 
    to say 

    I'm 
    amazed 
    that I'm

    • 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.
