    Verse 1
    Now 
    they 
    make 
    new 
    movies 

    in 
    old 
    black 
    and 
    white 

    With 
    happy 
    endings, 
    where 
    nobody 
    fights 

    So 
    if 
    you 
    find 
    your
    self 
    in 
    that 
    nostalgic 
    rage 

    Honey, 
    jump 
    right 
    up 
    and 
    show 
    your 
    age 

    Chorus 1
    I 
    wish 
    I 
    had 
    a

    Penny 

    Oh 
    I 
    wish 
    I 
    had 
    a 
    pencil 
    thin 
    mustache 

    Then 
    I 
    could 
    solve 
    some 
    mysteries 
    too 

    Bridge 1
    Then 
    it's

    Bridge 2
    Then 
    it's 
    flat

    to 
    gain

    that 
    it

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      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

      Tuliketsune

      "

      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.
