    Verse 1
    man 
    walks 
    down 
    the 
    street 

    He 
    says, 
    "Why 
    am 
    soft 
    in 
    the 
    middle, 
    now? 

    Why 
    am 
    soft 
    in 
    the 
    middle? 

    The 
    rest 
    of 
    my 
    life 
    is 
    so 
    hard 

    need 
    photo-opportunity 

    want 
    shot 
    at 
    redemption 

    Don't 
    want 
    to 
    end 
    up 
    cartoon 

    In 
    cartoon 
    graveyard" 

    Bonedigger, 
    Bonedigger 

    Dogs 
    in 
    the 
    moonlight 

    Far 
    away 
    in 
    my 
    well-lit 
    door 

    Mr. 
    Beerbelly, 
    Beerbelly 

    Get 
    these 
    mutts 
    a
    way 
    from 
    me 

    You 
    know, 
    don't 
    find 
    this 
    stuff 

    a
    musing 
    anymore 

    Chorus 1
    If 
    you'll 
    be 
    my 
    body
    guard 

    can 
    be 
    your 
    long 
    lost 
    pal 


    can 
    call 
    you 
    Betty 

    And 
    Betty,

    Verse 2
    man 
    walks 
    down 
    the 
    street 

    He 
    says, 
    "Why 
    am 
    short 
    of 
    attention? 

    Got 
    short 
    little 
    span 
    of 
    attention 

    And, 
    whoa, 
    my 
    nights 
    are 
    so 
    long 

    Where's 
    my 
    wife 
    and 
    family? 

    What 
    if 
    die 
    here? 

    Who'll 
    be 
    my 
    role 
    model 

    Now 
    that 
    my 
    role 
    model 
    is 
    gone, 
    gone?" 

    He 
    ducked 
    back 
    down 
    the 
    alley 

    With 
    some 
    roly-poly 
    little 
    bat-faced 
    girl 

    All 
    a
    long 
    along, 

    There 
    were 
    incidents 
    and 
    accidents 

    There 
    were 
    hints 
    and 
    alle
    gations 

    Chorus 2
    If 
    you'll 
    be 
    my 
    body
    guard 

    can 
    be 
    your 
    long 
    lost 
    pal 


    can 
    call 
    you 
    Betty 

    And 
    Betty, 
    when 
    you 
    call 
    me, 

    you 
    can 
    call 
    me 
    Al 

    Call 
    me

    Verse 3
    man 
    walks 
    down 
    the 
    street 

    It's 
    street 
    in 
    strange 
    world 

    Maybe 
    it's 
    the 
    third 
    world 

    Maybe 
    it's 
    his 
    first 
    time 
    around 

    Doesn't 
    speak 
    the 
    language 

    He 
    holds 
    no 
    currency 

    He 
    is 
    foreign 
    man 

    He 
    is 
    sur
    rounded 
    by 
    the 
    sound, 
    the 
    sound 

    Cattle 
    in 
    the 
    marketplace 

    Scatterings 
    and 
    orphanages 

    He 
    looks 
    a
    round, 
    around 

    He 
    sees 
    angels 
    in 
    the 
    architecture 

    Spinning 
    in 
    infinity 

    He 
    says, 
    "Amen 
    and 
    Hallelujah!" 

    Chorus 3
    If 
    you'll 
    be 
    my 
    body
    guard 

    can 
    be 
    your 
    long 
    lost 
    pal 


    can 
    call 
    you 
    Betty 

    And 
    Betty, 
    when 
    you 
    call 
    me, 

    you 
    can 
    call 
    me 
    Al 

    Call 
    me

    • 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.
