    • Verse 1
    They 

    all 
    sat 
    around 
    in a circle 

    They were 
    all 
    laughing 
    and all 

    telling 
    lies 

    Then the 
    tall 
    one 
    he bumped 
    in 
    a 
    dollar 

    He 
    said 
    boys 
    I've got 
    nothing 

    to hide 

    Now if the 
    King 
    and 
    the Queen 

    stood 
    together

    Then the 
    ace 
    he would 
    not 

    be 
    to blame 

    And if the 
    cards 
    were all 

    laid 
    on 
    the 
    table 

    Then 
    love 
    could 
    be 
    more 

    than 
    a 
    game 

    Verse 2
    And if the 
    stars 
    didn't 
    shine 

    on 
    the 
    wa
    ter 

    Then the sun 
    wouldn't 

    burn 
    on 
    the sand 

    And if 
    I 
    were the 
    man 
    you 
    wanted 

    I 
    would 
    not 
    be 
    the 

    man 
    that 
    I 
    am 

    Verse 3
    And 
    I have seen 
    my 
    share 
    of 
    long 
    nights 

    And 
    I 
    have told 
    my 
    share 
    of lies 

    And 
    I 
    have 
    run 
    into 
    the 

    darkness 

    When I saw 
    the 
    look 
    in 

    your 
    eyes 

    But if 
    the 
    night 
    didn't 
    lie 

    in the dark
    ness 

    Then the 
    daylight 
    would 
    be 

    hard 
    to find 

    And if the 
    truth 
    didn't turn 

    to 
    a 
    weakness 

    I would 
    have 
    never 
    have 

    spoken 
    my 
    mind 

    Verse 4
    And if the 
    stars 
    didn't 
    shine 

    on 
    the 
    water 

    Then the sun 
    wouldn't 

    burn 
    on 
    the sand 

    And if 
    I 
    were the 
    man 
    you wanted 

    Then 
    I 
    would 
    not 
    be 
    the man 
    that 
    I am 

    Interlude 1



    So 
    if you're 
    Verse 5
    going 
    out 
    to 

    Carolina 

    Then don't 
    linger 
    in 
    New 
    Mex
    ico 

    And if you 
    think 
    of the one 

    there 
    be
    hind 
    you 

    Then 
    you 
    might not 
    feel 
    so 
    alone 

    Verse 6
    And if the 
    stars 
    didn't 
    shine 

    on 
    the 
    water 

    Then the sun 
    wouldn't 

    burn 
    on 
    the 
    sand 

    And if 
    I 
    were the 
    man 
    you wanted 

    I 
    would 
    not 
    be 
    the 
    man 
    that 

    I 
    am

      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.
