    Verse 1
    I'm 
    wait
    ing 
    for 
    my 
    man 

    Twenty-six 
    dollars 
    in 
    my 
    hand 

    Up 
    to 
    Lexington, 
    125 

    Feel 
    sick 
    and 
    dirty, 
    more 
    dead 
    than 
    a
    live 

    I'm 
    wait
    ing 
    for 
    my 
    man 

    Verse 2
    Hey, 
    white 
    boy, 
    what 
    you 
    doin' 
    uptown? 


    Hey, 
    white 
    boy, 

    you 
    chasin' 
    our 
    women 
    around? 

    Oh 
    pardon 
    me 
    sir, 

    it's 
    the 
    furthest 
    from 
    my 
    mind 

    I'm 
    just 
    lookin' 
    for 
    a 

    dear, 
    dear 
    friend 
    of 
    mine 

    I'm 
    waiting 
    for 
    my 
    man 


    Verse 3
    Here 
    he 
    comes, 

    he's 
    all 
    dressed 
    in 
    black 

    PR 
    shoes 
    and 
    a 
    big 
    straw 
    hat 

    He's 
    never 
    early, 
    he's 
    always 
    late 

    First 
    thing 
    you 
    learn 
    is 
    you 

    always 
    gotta 
    wait 

    I'm 
    waiting 
    for 
    my 
    man

    Verse 4
    Up 
    to 
    a 
    Brownstone, 

    up 
    three 
    flights 
    of 
    stairs 

    Everybody's 
    pinned 
    you, 

    but 
    nobody 
    cares 

    He's 
    got 
    the 
    works, 
    gives 
    you 
    sweet 
    taste 

    Ah 
    then 
    you 
    gotta 
    split 
    because 

    you 
    got 
    no 
    time 
    to 
    waste 

    I'm 
    waiting 
    for 
    my 
    man 


    Verse 5
    Baby 
    don't 
    you 
    holler, 

    darlin' 
    don't 
    you 
    bawl 
    and 
    shout 

    I'm 
    feeling 
    good, 

    you 
    know 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    work 
    it 
    on 
    out 

    I'm 
    feeling 
    good, 
    I'm 
    feeling 
    oh 
    so 
    fine 

    Until 
    tomorrow, 
    but 
    that's 

    just 
    some 
    other 
    time 

    I'm 
    waiting 
    for 
    my 
    man

      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.
