    Verse 1
    Up 
    every 
    morning 

    at 
    the 
    crack 
    of 
    dawn 

    Nights 
    as 
    short 
    as 
    the days 
    are 
    long 

    Life 
    turned 
    out 
    to 
    be 
    another 
    magazine 

    I'm 
    livin' 
    with 
    a stranger 
    now 

    The 
    girl 
    I knew 
    got 
    away 
    somehow 

    She 
    went 
    out 
    with 
    two 
    bit 
    gasoline 

    wanna 
    go 
    back, 

    you 
    know 
    what 
    mean, 
    ah 

    Verse 2
    When 
    the word 
    was 
    Thunderbird 

    And 
    the price 
    was 
    40 twice 

    Drinkin' 
    wine 
    and 
    lovin' 

    you 
    was 
    fun

    Oh 
    but 
    love 
    turned 
    out 
    to 
    be 

    a passin' 
    thing 

    Different 
    bird 
    of 
    a different 
    wing 

    Some 
    damn 
    fool 
    put 
    dollar 

    29 on 
    a jug 
    of 
    Thunderbird 
    wine 

    And 
    Lord, 
    don't 
    know 
    if 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    make 
    it 

    I don't 
    know 
    if 
    I'll 
    have 

    the strength 
    to 
    take 
    it 

    Everything's 
    hung 
    up 
    in 
    yesterday

    social 
    girl 

    Tak
    in' 
    shortcuts 
    in 
    a woman's 
    world 

    She 
    won't 
    let 
    her 
    hair 

    down 
    when 
    I'm 
    home 

    So

    to 
    yesterday, 
    ah

    • 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.
