    • Verse 1
    Wish 
    I 
    had 
    a 
    known 
    ya 

    When you 
    were 
    a 
    little 
    younger 

    Around 
    me 
    you might 
    have 
    learned 

    a thing 
    or 
    two 

    If 
    I 
    had 
    known 
    you longer 

    You 
    might 
    be 
    a little 
    Stronger 

    And 
    maybe 
    you'd 
    shoot 
    straighter 

    Then 
    you 
    doooo 

    Maybe you'd 
    shoot 
    straighter 

    Then 
    you do 

    Verse 2
    As 
    he walked 
    into 
    the poolroom 

    You 
    could tell 
    he 
    didn't fit 

    In his hand
    made 
    boots, 
    custom 
    suits 

    and 
    pearl 
    handled 
    shooting 
    stick 

    Tonight 
    there'd 
    be 

    a showdown 

    then everyone 
    would 
    know 

    Who 
    shoots 
    the 
    meanest 
    game 
    around 

    The 
    Baron 
    or 
    Billy 
    Joe 

    Billy 
    Joe 
    looked 
    Edgy 

    About 
    to lose 
    his 
    cool 

    But the Bar
    on's 
    hands 
    were steady 

    As the 
    two 
    began 
    to duel 

    Yeah 
    he 
    was 
    like a 
    general 

    on a 
    battlefield 
    of 
    slate 

    And 
    he'd 
    say 
    to 
    Billy 
    Joe 

    each 
    time 
    he sunk 
    the 
    eight 

    He'd 
    Say 

    Verse 3
    Wish 
    I 
    had 
    a known 
    ya 

    When 
    you 
    were a 
    little 
    young
    er 

    Around 
    me 
    you might 
    have 
    learned 

    a thing 
    or 
    two 

    If I 
    had 
    known 
    you 
    longer 

    You 
    might 
    be 
    a little 
    Stronger 

    And 
    maybe 
    you'd shoot 
    straighter 

    Then 
    you 
    doooo 

    Maybe you'd 
    shoot 
    straighter 

    Then 
    you do 

    Verse 4
    Now 
    Billy Joe 
    was 
    busted 

    But 
    he hadn't 
    felt 
    the sting 

    And from the 
    far 
    end 
    of the 
    table 

    He threw 
    his 
    mother's 

    wedding 
    ring 

    And he said 
    you won 
    my 
    money 

    But it 
    ain't gonna 
    do 
    the trick 

    I'll 
    bet this 
    ring 
    on 
    one 
    more 
    game 

    again
    st 
    your fancy 
    stick 

    The Baron's 
    eyes 
    got 
    foggy 

    as the 
    ring 
    rolled 
    on 
    the felt 

    And he 
    al
    most 
    doubled 
    over 

    Like 
    he had been 
    hit 
    below 
    the belt 

    Twenty 
    years 
    ago 

    It was 
    the ring 
    his wife 
    had worn 

    And 
    he didn't 
    know 
    before 
    he left 

    that a 
    son 
    would 
    soon 
    be born 

    It sounded 
    just like 
    thunder 

    when 
    the 
    Baron 
    shot 
    the break 

    But 
    it 
    grew thickly 
    quiet 

    as 
    He lined 
    up the 
    eight 

    Then a 
    warm 
    hand 
    touched 

    his 
    shoulder 

    and it chilled 
    him 
    to the 
    bone 

    When he turned 
    and 
    saw 
    the woman 

    Who 
    had loved 
    him 
    for 
    so 
    long 

    The 
    game 
    was 
    never 
    finished 

    The 
    eight ball 
    never 
    fell 

    The 
    Baron 
    calmly 
    picked 
    it up 

    and 
    put 
    it on 
    the shelf 

    Then 
    he placed 
    the ring 

    In 
    the 
    hands 
    that 
    held 
    him 
    long 
    ago 

    and he 
    tossed 
    that 
    fancy 
    shooting 
    stick 

    To his 
    son 
    Billy 
    Joe 

    And he said 

    Verse 5
    Wish 
    I 
    had 
    a known 
    ya 

    When 
    you 
    were a 
    little 
    young
    er 

    Around 
    me 
    you might 
    have 
    learned 

    a

    had 
    known 
    you longer 

    You 
    might 
    be 
    a little 
    Stronger 

    And maybe 
    you'd shoot 
    straighter 

    Then 
    you 
    doooo 

    Maybe 
    you'd 
    shoot 
    straighter 

    Then you

      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

      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.
