    This shirt 
    is 
    old 
    and faded 
    Verse 1

    All the 
    color's 
    washed 
    away 

    I've had 
    it now 
    for more 
    damn 
    years 

    Than 
    I 
    can count 
    any
    way 

    I 
    wear 
    it be
    neath 
    my jacket 

    With the 
    collar 
    turned 
    up 
    high 

    So 
    old 
    I should 
    replace 
    it 

    But I'm 
    not 
    about 
    to try 

    Verse 2

    This shirt's 
    got 
    silver 
    buttons 

    And 
    a place 
    upon 
    the sleeve 

    Where 
    I used 
    to set 
    my 
    heart 
    up 

    Right there 
    anyone 
    could 
    see 

    This shirt 
    is the 
    one 
    I wore 
    to every 

    boring 
    high school 
    dance 

    Where the 
    boys 
    ig
    nored 
    the 
    girls 

    And 
    we all 
    pretended 
    to like 

    the band 


    Verse 3
    This shirt 
    was 
    a 
    pillow 
    for 
    my 
    head 

    On 
    a train 
    through 
    Italy 

    This shirt 
    was 
    a 
    blanket 
    beneath 
    the love 

    We made 
    in Argeles 

    This shirt 
    was 
    lost 
    for three 
    whole days 

    In 
    a town 
    near 
    Buffalo 

    'Till 
    I found 
    the 
    locker 
    key 

    In a 
    downtown 
    Trailways bus 
    depot 


    Verse 4
    This shirt 

    was the 
    one 
    I lent 
    you 

    And 
    when 
    you gave 
    it back

    There 
    was 
    a rip 
    in
    side 
    the sleeve 

    Where 
    you rolled 
    your cigarettes 

    It was the 
    place 
    I put 
    my 
    heart 

    Now 
    look 
    at where 
    you put 
    a tear 

    I forgave 
    your thoughtless
    ness 

    But 
    not 
    the boy 
    who put 
    it 
    there 

    Verse 5
    This shirt 
    was 
    the 
    place 
    your 
    cat 

    Decided 
    to give 
    birth 
    to five 

    And we 
    stayed 
    up 
    all night 
    watch
    ing 

    And we 
    wept 
    when 
    the 
    last 
    one died 

    This shirt 
    is 
    just 
    an 
    old 
    faded 

    piece 
    of cot
    ton 

    Shining 
    like 
    the 
    memor
    ies 

    Inside 
    those 
    silver 
    buttons 

    Verse 6

    This shirt 
    is 
    a grand 
    old 
    relic 

    With a grand 
    old 
    history 

    I wear 
    it now 
    for Sunday 
    chores 

    Cleaning 
    house 
    and raking 
    leaves 

    I 
    wear 
    it beneath 
    my 
    jacket 

    With 
    the 
    collar 
    turned 
    up 
    high 

    So 
    old 
    I 
    should 
    re
    place 
    it 

    But 
    I'm 
    not 
    about 
    to try

      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 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.
