I tried to tune my guitar

Last year, I tried to tune my guitar,

but when I played, it came out wrong.

The notes were wobbly, not straight.

                 I guess I'll try again later

Last month, I tried to tune my guitar,

but when I strummed a chord, it came out wrong.

The song sounded sour, not sweet.

                I guess I'll try again later

Last week, I tried to tune my guitar,

but when I plucked, it came out wrong.

The sound was clunky, not smooth.

                I guess I'll try again later

This week, I tried to tune my guitar,

and when I raked the strings, it came out right.

The melody was beautiful, and ready to perform.
