  • Verse 1
    Well, 
    tried 
    to 
    run 
    my 
    game 

    She 
    said 
    "Man, 

    that's 
    the 
    same 
    old 
    thing 
    I've 
    heard 
    be
    fore" 

    And 
    I'm 
    too 
    tired 
    to 
    go 
    for 
    your 
    show 

    (a
    gain 
    and again) 

    And 
    she 
    star
    ted 
    to 
    explain 

    She 
    said 
    "Man, 
    ain't 
    sayin' 

    what 
    you're 
    play
    in' 
    just 
    can't 
    make 
    it 

    But 
    can't 
    take 
    it 
    anymore" 

    Play 
    somethin' 
    sweet, 

    play 
    somethin' 
    mellow 

    Play 
    somethin' 
    can 
    sink 

    my 
    teeth 
    in 
    like 
    Jel
    lo 

    Play 
    something 
    can 
    under
    stand 

    Play 
    me 
    some 
    Brickyard 

    Blues 

    Play 
    somethin' 
    sweet 
    and 
    make 
    it 
    funky 

    Just 
    let 
    me lay 
    back 
    and 

    grin 
    like 
    mon
    key 

    Play 
    something 
    can 
    under
    stand 

    Play 
    me 
    some 
    Brickyard 

    Blues 

    Well, 
    star
    ted 
    to 
    sweat 

    She 
    said 
    "Don't 
    get 
    upset, 

    'cause 
    you 
    just 
    might 
    break 

    a string 
    and 
    that 
    won't 

    do 
    thing 
    for 
    your 
    show" 

    So 
    said 
    to 
    myself 

    said, 
    "Self, 
    do 
    you 
    see 
    what 
    is 

    sail
    in' 
    through 
    my 
    soul?" 

    And 
    got
    ta 
    have 
    some 
    more, 

    don't 
    ya 
    know 

    Play 
    somethin' 
    sweet, 

    play 
    somethin' 
    mello 

    Play 
    somethin' 
    can 
    sink 

    my 
    teeth 
    in 
    like 
    Jello 

    Play 
    something 
    can 
    understand 

    Play 
    me 
    some 
    Brickyard 
    Blues 

    Play 
    somethin' 
    sweet 
    and 
    make 
    it 
    funky 

    Just 
    let 
    me 
    lay 
    back 
    and 

    grin 
    like 
    mon
    key 

    Play 
    something 
    can 
    under
    stand 

    Play 
    me 
    some 
    Brickyard 
    Blues 

    It's 
    enough 
    to make 
    it light 
    the 
    dark 

    It's 
    enough 
    to make 
    bite 
    just 
    bark 

    It's 
    enough 
    to make 
    body 
    move around 

    It's 
    enough 
    to make a rabbit 

    hug a dog 

    Play somethin' 
    sweet 

    Well, I 
    tried to run 
    my game 

    She said, 
    "Man, that's 
    the same 

    old thing 
    I've heard 
    before 

    And 
    I'm too tired 
    to go 

    for your show" 

    (again 
    and again) 

    And she started 
    to explain 

    She said, 
    "Man, I ain't 
    sayin' 

    what you're 
    playin' 

    just can't 
    make it, but 

    just 
    can't take 
    it 

    any more" 

    Play somethin' 
    sweet, 

    play 
    somethin' 
    mello 

    Play 
    somethin' 
    can 
    sink 

    my 
    teeth 
    in 
    like 
    Jel
    lo 

    Play 
    something 
    can 
    understand 

    Play 
    me 
    some 
    Brickyard 
    Blues 

    Play somethin' 
    sweet and 

    make it 
    funky 

    Just 
    let 
    me lay back 
    and 

    grin like 
    a monkey 

    Play something 
    I can 
    understand 

    Play me 
    some Brickyard 
    Blues 

    Play 
    somethin' sweet, 

    play 
    somethin' 
    mel
    lo 

    Play 
    somethin' 
    can sink 
    my 

    teeth in like 
    Jello

      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

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
