  • Verse 1
    Why 
    must 
    every 
    generation 
    think 

    their 
    folk
    are square 

    And no 
    matter 
    where 
    their heads 
    are 

    they know 
    mo
    m's 
    ain't 
    there 

    'Cause 
    I swore 
    when 
    was small 

    that I'd 
    remem
    ber 
    when 

    knew 
    what's 
    wrong 
    with 
    them 

    that I 
    was smaller 
    then 

    Verse 2

    Determined 
    to 
    remember 

    all 
    the cardinal 
    rules 

    Like 
    sun 
    showers 
    are legal 

    grounds 
    for 
    cutting 
    school 

    know 
    I have 
    forgotten 
    maybe 
    one 
    or two 

    And 
    hope 
    that 
    recall 
    them all 

    be
    fore 
    the 
    baby's 
    due 

    And I 
    know 
    he'll 
    have 

    question 
    or two 

    Like 
    "hey 
    Verse 3
    Pop, 
    can 
    I go 
    ride 
    my 
    zoom 

    It goes 
    two 
    hundred 
    miles 
    an hour 

    suspended 
    on 
    bal
    loons 

    And 
    can 
    put 
    a droplet 
    of 
    this 

    new stuff 
    on 
    my tongue 

    And ima
    gine 
    frothing 
    dragons 
    while 

    you sit 
    and 
    wreck 
    your lungs" 

    And I must 
    be 
    per
    missive, 

    under
    standing 
    of 
    the younger 
    gener
    ation 

    Verse 4

    Then 
    I'll 
    know 
    that 
    all 

    I've learned 
    my 
    kid 
    assumes 

    And 
    all 
    my 
    deepest 
    worries 

    must 
    be his 
    cartoons 

    And still 
    I'll try 
    to 
    tell 
    them him all 

    the thing
    I've done 

    Re
    lating 
    to 
    what 
    he 
    can do 

    when 
    he 
    becomes 
    a man 

    And 
    still 
    he'll stick 
    his 
    fingers 
    in 
    the fan 

    And 
    "Hey, 
    Verse 5
    Pop, 

    my girl
    friend's 
    only 
    three 

    She's got 
    her 
    own 
    videophone and she's 

    taking 
    L.S.D. 

    And now 
    that we're 
    best 
    friends 

    she wants 
    to 
    give 
    a bit 
    to me 

    But 
    what's 
    the matter 
    Daddy, 

    how come 
    you're 
    turning 
    green? 

    Can it 
    be 
    that 
    you can't 

    live 
    up 
    to your 
    dreams?"

    • 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.
