    Roy 
    taught 
    me 
    how 
    to play 
    baseball 

    and 
    do 
    the foxtrot 
    on 
    the harp 

    Taught 
    me 
    how 
    to swim 
    and fish 
    and 
    tell 

    the difference 
    between 
    bass 
    and carp 

    Taught 
    me 
    how 
    to snap 
    my 
    fingers 
    whistle 

    through 
    my 
    teeth 
    oh 
    Uncle 
    Roy 

    He sure 
    took 
    time 
    to make 
    times 
    good 

    for 
    a little 
    pesty half 
    grown 
    boy 

    Aunt 
    Kathleen 
    would wash 
    my 
    clothes 
    and blow 

    my 
    nose 
    whenever 
    nature 
    called 

    Darn 
    my socks 
    and 
    damn 
    the pox 
    but kept 

    me 
    out 
    of school 
    from 
    fall 
    to fall 

    Gave 
    me movie 
    money 
    though 
    I never 

    did 
    my 
    chores 
    the 
    way 
    I should 

    To 
    a 
    nasty 
    little 
    nephew 
    Kathleen 

    you sure 
    made 
    aunthood awful 
    good 

    And 
    Freddy 
    used 
    to laughed 
    to me 

    whenever 
    something 
    valuable 
    got 
    broke 

    He 
    taught 
    me 
    how 
    to climb 
    a tree 
    about 
    birds 

    and 
    bees 
    and taught 
    me 
    how 
    to smoke 

    He 
    took 
    me 
    on 
    a first 
    date 
    I 
    was scared 

    to death 
    but 
    he said 
    you'll 
    do 
    fine 

    Good 
    buddy 
    you're 
    my 
    cousin 
    but 

    you seem 
    more 
    like 
    a brother 
    of 
    mine 

    But 
    you can't 
    go 
    home 
    to 
    the good 
    times 

    you can't 
    go 
    home 
    any
    more 

    Roy's 
    all 
    crippled 
    up now 
    Kathleen 

    can 
    hardly 
    see 

    Freddy's 
    off 
    somewhere 
    to 
    fight 
    a war 

    But 
    you can't 
    go 
    home 
    to 
    the good 
    times 

    you 
    can't 
    go 
    home 
    any
    more 

    Everything 
    has changed 
    and who 

    were there 
    to blame 

    Gone 
    far 
    that 
    you 
    just 

    can't 
    go 
    home 

    [ strings 
    ] 

    Looking 
    back 
    I'd 
    say 
    I 
    had 
    the best 

    childhood 
    that 
    money 
    just 
    can't 
    buy 

    And I 
    owe 
    it all 
    to free 
    good 
    folks 
    who 

    took 
    me 
    in when 
    mom 
    began 
    to die 

    They 
    always 
    told 
    me son 
    just 
    do 
    what's 
    right 

    and you'll 
    be 
    proud 
    just 
    wait 
    and see 

    Well 
    Roy 
    and 
    Kathleen 
    I'm 
    only 
    proud 
    that 

    you're 
    the ones 
    who's 
    proud 
    of 
    me 

    But 
    you can't 
    go 
    home 
    to 
    the 
    good 
    times 

    you can't 
    go 
    home 
    any
    more 

    Roy's 
    rheumatism 
    Kathleen's 
    cataract 
    and 

    Freddy's

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
