    Chorus 1
    Say 
    it 
    ain't 
    so, 
    Joe 
    please 

    Say 
    it 
    ain't 
    so 

    That's 
    not 
    what 
    want 
    to 
    hear 
    Joe 

    Ain't 
    got 
    right 
    to 
    know 

    Say 
    it 
    ain't 
    so, 
    Joe 
    please 

    Say 
    it 
    ain't 
    so 

    I'm 
    sure 
    they're 
    telling 
    us 
    lies 
    Joe 

    Please 
    tell 
    us 
    it 
    ain't 
    so 

    Verse 1
    They 
    told 
    us 
    our 
    hero 

    has 
    played 
    his 
    trump 
    card 

    He 
    doesn't 
    know 
    how 
    to 
    go 
    on 

    We're 
    clinging 
    to 
    his 
    charm 

    and 
    determined 
    smile 

    But 
    the 
    good 
    old 
    days 
    are 
    gone 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    The 
    image 
    and 
    the 
    empire 

    may 
    be 
    falling 
    apart 

    The 
    money 
    has 
    gotten 
    scarce 

    One 
    man's 
    word 
    held 
    the 
    country 
    together 

    But 
    the 
    truth 
    is 
    getting 
    fierce 

    Chorus 2
    Say 
    it 
    ain't 
    so, 
    Joe 
    please 

    Say 
    it 
    ain't 
    so 

    We 
    pinned 
    our 
    hopes 
    on 
    you 
    Joe 

    And 
    they're 
    ruining 
    our 
    show

    (Oooh 
    Babies) 

    Don't 
    you 
    think 
    we're 
    gonna 
    get 
    burned 

    We're 
    gonna 
    get 
    turned 

    We're 
    gonna 
    get 
    learned 

    Yes,

    Yes, 
    we're 
    going 
    to 
    get 
    burned 

    We're 
    going 
    to 
    get 
    turned 

    We're 
    gonna 
    get 
    learned 

    Yes, 
    we're 
    going 
    to 
    get 
    turned 

    We're

      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 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.
