    Verse 1
    It's 
    been that 
    way 
    since 
    the 
    git go, 

    It's 
    been that 
    way 
    since 
    the 
    git go 

    Well 
    it's been 
    that 
    way 

    since 
    the 
    git go, 

    Lord it's 
    always 
    been that 
    way 

    Verse 2
    Woman 
    shined 
    the apple, 

    and 
    the 
    man 
    had to 
    take a 
    bite 

    Anything 
    that 
    good, 
    God knows, 

    just had 
    to 
    be right 

    Well 
    they 
    woke 
    up 
    naked 

    with 
    a big headache, 

    He 
    done 
    done 
    in 
    by 
    a slippery 
    snake, 

    A 
    man 
    and a 
    woman 
    get to 
    live a 
    while 

    and then they 
    die 

    Verse 3
    It's been that 
    way 
    since 
    the 
    git go, 


    It's been that 
    way 
    since 

    the 
    git go 

    It's been that 
    way 
    since 
    the 
    git go, 

    Lord 
    it's 
    always 
    been 
    that way 

    Verse 4

    Politicians 
    make 
    promises 

    that they 
    can't 
    keep 

    They 
    keep printin' 
    money 
    'till 

    they get in 
    way 
    too deep 

    It's the 
    same 
    old lesson, 

    they 
    never 
    learn, 

    Too busy 
    workin' 
    on 

    their next 
    term 

    Politicians 
    keep makin' 
    fools 

    out of 
    you 
    and me 


    Verse 5
    It's been that 
    way 
    since 
    the 
    git

    way 
    since 
    the 
    git go 

    It's 
    been that 
    way 
    since 
    the 
    git go, 

    Lord 
    it's 
    always 
    been that 
    way 


    Verse 6
    Money 
    breeds war, 

    as long 
    as there's 
    a man 
    alive 

    Rich 
    kids 
    go to 
    college, 

    and the poor 
    kids 
    fight 

    High- rollers 
    crap 
    out 
    ev'ry time, 

    roll 
    a soldier's 
    bones 
    like 
    loaded 
    dice 

    War 
    is the beast 
    that 
    makes 

    ev'ry mother 
    cry 

    Verse 7

    It's 
    been that 
    way 
    since 
    the 
    git go, 


    It's been that 
    way 
    since 

    the 
    git go 

    It's been that 
    way 
    since 
    the 
    git go, 

    Lord 
    it's 
    always 
    been 
    that way

    He 
    told 
    the truth, 

    and 
    they 
    hung 
    him 
    up 
    to 
    die 

    The son 
    of 
    God 
    who created 
    you 
    and I 

    He 
    said 
    it in 
    the Good Book 

    and 
    letters 
    in red 

    But we 
    keep 
    on forgettin' 

    ev'ry 
    thing that 
    He said 

    Je
    sus 
    Christ 
    hung 
    on the 

    cross 
    for 
    you and 
    I

      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 🙂

      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.
