    Verse 3
    He 
    freely 
    gave 
    to 
    char
    ity 

    He 
    had 
    the 
    common 
    touch 

    And 
    they 
    were 
    grateful 
    for 
    his 
    patronage 

    And 
    they 
    thanked 
    him 
    very 
    much 

    So 
    my 
    mind 
    was 
    filled 
    with 
    wonder 

    When 
    the 
    evening 
    headlines 
    read 

    "Richard 
    Cory 
    went 
    home 
    last 
    night 

    And 
    put 
    a 
    bullet 
    through 
    his 
    head" 

    Chorus 3
    But 
    I,

    factory 

    And 
    I 
    curse 
    the 
    life 
    I'm 
    living 

    And 
    I 
    curse 
    my 
    poverty 

    And 
    I 
    wish 
    that 
    I 
    could 
    be 

    Oh, 
    I 
    wish 
    that 
    I 
    could 
    be 

    Oh, 
    I 
    wish 
    that 
    I 
    could 
    be

      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 🙂

      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.
