  • Verse 1
    woman 
    came 
    up 
    to 
    me 
    and 
    said 

    "I'd 
    like 
    to 
    poison 
    your 
    mind 

    With 
    wrong 
    ideas 
    that 
    appeal 
    to 
    you 

    Though 
    am 
    not 
    un
    kind" 

    She 
    looked 
    at 
    me, 

    looked 
    at 
    something 

    Written 
    across 
    her 
    scalp 

    And 
    these 
    are the 
    words 
    that it 
    faintly 
    said 

    As I 
    tried 
    to 
    call 
    for 
    help 

    There's 
    only 
    one 
    thing 
    that I 
    Verse 2

    know 
    how to 
    do 
    well 

    And 
    I've 
    often 
    been 
    told 

    that you 
    only 
    can 
    do 

    What 
    you 
    know 
    how to 
    do 
    well 

    And 
    that's 
    be 
    you, 

    Be 
    what 
    you're 
    like, 

    Be 
    like 
    your
    self, 

    And 
    so 
    I'm 
    having 
    wonderful 
    time 

    But I'd 
    rather 
    be 
    whistling 

    in 
    the 
    dark 

    Whistling 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    Whistling 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    Whistling 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    Whistling 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    Whistling 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    There's 
    only 
    one 
    thing 
    that I 
    like 

    And 
    that 
    is 
    whistling 
    in 
    the 

    dark 

    Verse 3

    man 
    came 
    up 
    to 
    me 
    and 
    said 

    "I'd 
    like 
    to change 
    your 
    mind 

    By 
    hitting 
    it 
    with 
    rock," 
    he 
    said, 

    "Though 
    am not 
    un
    kind." 

    We 
    laughed 
    at his 
    little 
    joke 

    And then 
    happily 
    walked 
    away 

    An
    d hit 
    my 
    head 
    on the 

    wall 
    of the 
    jail 

    Where the 
    two 
    of us 
    live 
    today. 

    Verse 4
    There's 
    only 
    one 
    thing 
    that I 

    know 
    how to 
    do 
    well

    often

    What 
    you 
    know 
    how to 
    do 
    well 

    And 
    that's 
    be 
    you, 

    Be 
    what 
    you're 
    like, 

    Be 
    like 
    your
    self, 

    And

    • 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.
