    Verse 1
    I've been down 
    to parliament, 

    I've been in 
    school 

    I've been 
    in jail 
    to learn 
    the golden 
    rule 

    I've 
    been to 
    the workhouse, 

    served 
    my time 
    in those 
    hallowed 
    halls 

    The only 
    thing 
    I know 
    is 
    the blues 
    got 

    the world 
    by the 
    balls 

    Verse 2
    I've been to 
    the 
    tundra 
    and 

    the mountain 
    too 

    I've been 
    in Paris 
    doing what 

    the Frenchmen 
    do 

    I've 
    been 
    in Boston 
    where the 

    buildings 
    grow so 
    tall 

    Every
    where 
    you go 
    the blues 
    got the world 
    by 
    the balls 

    Interlude 1






    Verse 3
    You can catch 
    'em 
    from the preacher 
    or from 

    the pool 
    shark 

    You can find 
    'em in 
    the grammar 

    of 
    the 
    socialite's remark 

    Or down 
    in the washroom 
    you 

    can read 
    it 
    on 
    the wall 

    Everywhere 

    you 
    look 
    the blues 

    got 
    the world 
    by 
    the balls

      Best Tuning App Ever

      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.
