    Verse 1

    Bacon 
    fried, 
    squinty- 
    eyed, 

    moments 
    of 
    the dawn 

    Misty 
    street 
    calling 
    me, 

    "Get dressed 
    and 
    walk 
    around" 

    In 
    the 
    square, 

    standing 
    there 
    girl 
    so 
    sad 

    "What's 
    the 
    matter"? 

    Verse 2
    She 
    said 
    "Oh, 

    oh 
    dear 
    sir, 

    the 
    world 
    has 
    got 
    me 
    down 

    And 
    folks 
    preach 
    happiness 
    when 

    there's 
    none 
    to 
    be 
    found 

    I 
    type 
    and 
    answer 
    phones 

    to 
    earn 
    my 
    meager 
    pay 

    To 
    keep 
    me 
    alive 
    so 
    I 
    can 

    waste 
    another 
    day" 

    I sadly 
    turned 
    and 
    walked 
    away 
    Verse 3

    Verse 4
    For 
    there 
    was 
    nothing 
    I 
    could 
    say 

    Walking 
    on, 
    noonday 
    sun, 

    dusty 
    road 
    to town 

    Saddened 
    by 
    the 
    girl 
    that 
    I 

    had chanced 
    to come 
    upon 

    Then, 
    I'd 
    seen 
    a lim
    ousine 

    A 
    rich 
    old 
    guy, 
    mean 
    of 
    eye 

    Verse 5
    He 
    said 

    "Oh, 
    bah 
    humbug, 
    you 
    can't 
    understand 

    The 
    world 
    is 
    one 
    big 
    bank, 

    you 
    must 
    steal 
    what 
    you 
    can 

    Because 
    it's 
    fools 
    like 
    you 
    who 

    waste 
    their 
    pre
    cious 
    time 

    By 
    walking 
    in 
    the sun 
    instead 
    of 

    trying 
    to 
    make 
    a 
    dime" 

    The words 
    he spoke 
    Verse 6
    turned 

    my 
    world 
    grey 

    Could 
    everybody 
    feel 
    this 
    way? 

    As 
    if 
    in 
    answer 
    down 
    the 
    road 
    a 
    lovely 

    girl 
    picked 
    flowers 
    of 
    gold 

    She smiled 
    sweetly 
    and 
    gave 
    one 
    to 
    me 

    And 
    said 
    "Please, 
    Verse 7

    kind 
    sir, 
    don't 
    look 
    so 
    down 

    For 
    in 
    this 
    hard 
    world 
    love 
    still 
    abound
    s 

    And 
    hand 
    in 
    hand 
    friends 
    of 
    beauty 
    can 
    lie 

    On 
    clover 
    beds 
    'neath 

    a blanket 
    of 
    sky" 

    Verse 8
    Oh, 
    oh 
    dear 
    sir, 

    the 
    world 
    has 
    got 
    me 
    down 

    (Oh, bah 
    humbug, 

    you 
    can't 
    understand) 

    And folks 
    preach 
    happiness 
    when there's 

    none 
    to be found 

    (The world 
    is one big 
    bank, 

    you must 
    steal what 
    you can) 

    I type 
    and 
    answer 
    phones 
    to 
    earn 

    my 
    meager 
    pay 

    (Because it's 
    fools like 
    you 

    who waste their 
    precious 
    time) 

    To keep 
    me 
    alive 
    so I can 
    waste 

    another 
    day 

    (By walking in 
    the sun instead 
    of 
    trying 

    to make a 
    dime) 

    Verse 9
    "How are you? 
    How are 

    you? How 
    are 
    you"? 

    Verse 10
    "Hi, 
    how 
    are 
    you'?

      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.

      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.
