    Verse 1
    I

    Downtown, 
    takin' 
    care 
    of 

    business 
    on 
    the street 

    Glen 
    D's 
    got 
    that 
    old 
    piano 
    on 
    the 
    road 

    Blues 
    is 
    his 
    bag, 
    he's

    funky 
    soul 

    Tim 
    Drummond's 
    on 
    bass, 

    Jim 
    Keltner's on 
    the 
    drums 

    They'll 
    put 
    it 
    right 
    on 
    you 

    for 
    a shot 
    of rhum 

    I'll tell 
    you 
    right 
    now 
    it's 

    a funky 
    beat 

    Downtown, 
    takin' 
    care 
    of 

    business 
    on 
    the street 

    We

    very 
    good 
    but 
    that's 

    be
    side 
    the 
    point 

    We're 
    all 
    right 
    here 
    trying 
    to 
    rock 
    this 
    joint 

    Old 
    mama 
    Chip 
    and 
    the Spooner 
    too 

    Try
    ing 
    to

    a meet 
    with 
    you 

    Christine 
    Lakeland 
    and 
    Jimmy 

    Karstein 

    He's a rhythm 
    fool, 
    she's a 
    guitar 
    queen 

    Let 
    me tell 
    you, my 
    friend 

    Richard

      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.
