Verse 1
Em

Now I have a story

that I'd like to tell

About this guy you all know

him, he had me scared as hell!

He comes to me at night

after I crawl into bed

He's burnt up like a weenie

and his name is Fred!

He wears the same hat and

sweater every single day

And even if it's hot,

outside he wears it anyway!
C

He's gone when I'm awake but

he shows up when I'm asleep

I can't believe that there's a
Em

nightmare - on my street!

Verse 2
Em


Saturday evening

if I remember it right
C

And we had just gotten
Em

back off tour last night

So the gang and I thought

that it would be groovy

If we summoned up the posse

and done rushed the movies

I got Angie, Jeff got Tina

Ready Rock got some girl

I'd never seen in my life
C

That was all right because

the lady was chill
Em

Then we dipped to the theater set to ill

We saw Elm Street and man it was def

And everything seemed

all right when we left

But when I got home and

laid down to sleep

That began the nightmare,
Interlude 2

but on my street!

Verse 3
Em

[Fresh Prince] It was burnin in my

room like an oven

My bed soaked with sweat,

and man, I was buggin
C

I checked the clock and it

stopped at 12:30
Em

It had melted it was so darn hot,

and I was thirsty

I went downstairs to grab

some juice or a coke

Flipped the TV off,

and then I almost choked
C

When I heard this awful

voice comin from behind
Em

It said, ";You cut off 'Heavy

Metal' and now you must die!";

Man, I ain't even wait to see who it was

Broke outside my drawers and screamed,

";So long, cuz!";
C

Got halfway up the block I calmed

down and stopped screamin

Then thought, ";Oh, I get it, I
Em

must be dreamin";

I strolled back home with a grin on my grill

I figured since this is a

dream I might as well get ill

I walked in the house,

the Big Bad Fresh Prince

But Freddy killed all that noise real quick

He grabbed me by my neck and said,

";Here's what we'll do.

We gotta lotta work here,

me and you.

The souls of your friends you

and I will claim.
D
Em

You've got the body,

and I've got the brain.";

I said, ";Yo Fred,

I think you've got me all wrong.

I ain't partners with NOBODY

with nails that long!
C

Look, I'll be honest man,

this team won't work.

The girls won't be on you,
Em

Fred your face is all burnt!";

I patted him on the shoulder said,

";Thanks for stopping by.";

Then I opened up the door and said,

";Take care guy!";

He got mad, drew back his arm,

and slashed my shirt

I laughed at first, then thought,

";Hold up, that hurt!";

It wasn't a dream, man,

this guy was for real

I said, ";Freddy, uh, pal,

there's been an awful mistake here.";
C

No further words and then

I darted upstairs

Crashed through my door then
Em

jumped on my bed

Pulled the covers up over my head

And said, ";Oh please do

somethin with Fred!";

He jumped on my bed,

went through the covers with his claws

Tried to get me, but my alarm went off

And then silence! It was a whole new day
Em

I thought, ";Huh, I wasn't

scared of him anyway.";

Until I noticed those rips in my sheets

And that was proof that there had been a nightmare,
Em

on my street

  • 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

    Rose the Black Cat

    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 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    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!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    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.

    Caleb Schafli

    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.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
