    Verse 1
    Go 
    out 
    yonder, 
    peace 
    in 
    the 
    valley 

    Come 
    downtown, 

    have 
    to 
    rumble 
    in 
    the 
    alley 

    Oh, 
    you 
    don't 
    know 
    the 
    shape 
    I'm 
    in 

    Has 
    anybody 
    seen 
    my 
    lady 

    This 
    living 
    alone 
    will 
    drive 
    me 
    crazy 

    Oh, 
    you 
    don't 
    know 
    the 
    shape 
    I'm 
    in 

    Chorus 1
    I'm 
    gonna 
    go 
    down 
    by 
    the 
    water 

    But 
    I 
    ain't 
    gonna 
    jump 
    in, 
    no, 
    no 

    I'll 
    just 
    be 
    looking 
    for 
    my 
    maker 

    And 
    I 
    hear 
    that 

    that's 
    where 
    she's 
    been? 
    Oh 

    Verse 2
    Out 
    of 
    nine 
    lives, 
    I 
    spent 
    seven 

    Now, 
    how 
    in 
    the 
    world 
    do 
    you 
    get 
    to 
    Heaven 

    Oh, 
    you 
    don't 
    know 
    the 
    shape 
    I'm 
    in 

    Interlude 1





    Chorus 2
    I 
    just 
    spent 
    sixty 
    days 
    in 
    the 
    jail
    house 

    For 
    the 
    crime 

    of 
    having 
    no 
    dough, 
    no, 
    no 

    Now 
    here 
    I 
    am 

    back 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    street 

    For 
    the 
    crime 
    of 
    having 
    nowhere 
    to 
    go 

    Verse 3
    Save 
    your 
    neck 
    or 
    save 
    your 
    brother 

    Looks 
    like 
    it's 
    one 
    or 
    the 
    other 

    Oh, 
    you 
    don't 
    know 
    the 
    shape 
    I'm 
    in 

    Now 
    two 
    young 
    kids 
    might 
    start 
    a 
    ruckus 

    You 
    know 
    they 
    feel 
    you 
    trying 
    to 
    shuck 
    us 

    Oh, 
    you 
    don't 
    know 
    the 
    shape 
    I'm 
    in

      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 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.
