    It's 
    big 
    job 
    just 
    gettin' 

    by

    and a wife 

    But 
    I've

    man, 

    dang 
    near all 
    my 
    life 
    but I'll

    workin' 

    Long 
    as my 
    two 
    hands 
    are 
    fit 
    to use 

    I'll 
    drink 
    my 
    beer 
    in a 
    tavern 

    Sing 
    a little 
    bit 
    of these

    keep 
    my 
    nose 
    on 
    the grindstone, 

    work hard 
    every 
    day 

    I might 
    get 
    a little 
    tired 
    on 
    the weekend, 

    after 
    draw my 
    pay 

    Then

    Monday 
    morning 
    I'm

    Sometimes 
    I think 
    about 
    leaving, 

    do 
    a little 
    bummin' 
    around 

    I want to 
    throw my 
    bills 
    out the 
    window 

    catch 
    a train 
    to another 
    town 

    I'll 
    go back 
    working, 

    gotta 
    buy 
    my kids 
    brand 
    new 
    pair 
    of shoes 

    drink 
    a little 
    beer 
    in a 
    tavern

    Well, 
    hey, 
    hey, 
    the 
    working 
    man, 

    the working 
    man 
    like 
    me 

    I ain't 
    never 
    been 
    on 
    welfare, 

    'n 
    that's 
    one 
    place 
    won't be 

    I'll 
    be 
    working 
    long 
    as my 

    two 
    hands 
    are 
    fit 
    to use 

    I'll 
    drink

    • 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.
