    A 
    gir
    affe 
    can 
    laugh, 

    it 
    really 
    loves 
    a 
    humorous 
    tale. 

    It 
    loves 
    to 
    slap 
    its 
    knees 
    and 
    chuckle, 

    it 
    will 
    chortle, 
    snicker 
    and 
    wail. 

    You 
    can 
    tell 
    a giraffe 
    a 
    joke 
    and 

    it 
    will 
    howl 
    if 
    it's 
    ab
    surd. 

    Yes, 
    a gir
    affe 
    can 
    laugh, 

    but 
    I can't 
    be 
    heard. 

    Up 
    in 
    the 
    treetops, 
    high 
    above 
    the 
    ground, 

    the 
    giraf
    fes 
    are 
    reaching, 
    making 
    not 
    a 
    sound. 

    Winking 
    at 
    each 
    other, 
    very 
    jolly 
    folks 

    Is
    n't 
    it 
    amazing, 
    they 
    are 
    telling 
    jokes 

    A 
    gir
    affe 
    can 
    laugh, 

    it 
    really 
    loves 
    a 
    humorous 
    tale 

    It 
    loves 
    to 
    slap 
    its 
    knees 
    and 
    chuck 
    a 
    little 
    chortle, 

    snicker 
    and 
    wail 

    You 
    can 
    tell a 
    giraffe 
    a 
    joke 
    and 

    it 
    will 
    howl 
    if 
    it's 
    absurd 

    Yes, 
    a gir
    affe 
    can 
    laugh, 

    but 
    it can't 
    be 
    heard 

    Who 
    knows 
    a 
    good 
    one, 

    one 
    giraffe 
    will 
    say 

    Someone 
    heard 
    a 
    howler 

    just 
    the 
    other 
    day 

    Pretty 
    soon 
    they're 
    laughing, 

    standing 
    in 
    the 
    ring 

    Is
    n't 
    it 
    surprising, 
    no 
    one 
    hears 
    a 
    thing 

    A 
    gir
    affe 
    can 
    laugh, 
    it 
    really 
    loves 
    to 
    humor 

    As 

    Taylor 
    loves 
    to slap 
    its 
    knees 
    and 
    chuckle 

    It'll 
    chortle, 
    snicker, 
    and 
    wail 

    You

    Look 
    at 
    them 
    laughing, 

    tears 
    are 
    in 
    their 
    eyes 

    To 
    what 
    they 
    find 
    so 
    fun, 

    we 
    cannot 
    surmise 

    Only 
    they 
    could 
    tell 
    us, 

    try 
    to 
    hoop 
    and 
    laugh 

    Noth
    ing 
    in 
    the 
    world 
    can

    like 
    a 
    gir

      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.
