Intro 1

G
C

Verse 1
C

Oh, lonesome away
F

from your kindred and all
G

By the campfire at night,
C

we'll hear the wild dingoes call

But there's-a nothing so lonesome,
F

morbid or drear
G

Than to stand in the bar,
C

of a pub with no beer

Now the publican's anxious,
F

for the quota to come
G

And there's a faraway look,
C

on the face of the bum

The maid's gone all cranky,
F

and the cook's acting queer
G
C

Oh, what a terrible place is a pub with no beer
Verse 2
C

Then the stockman rides up,
F

with his dry dusty throat
G

He breasts up to the bar,
C

and pulls a wad from his coat

But the smile on his face,
F

quickly turns to a sneer
G

As the barman said sadly,
C

the pubs got no beer


Then the swaggie comes in,
F

smothered in dust and flies
G

He throws down his roll
C

and rubs the sweat from his eyes

But when he is told,
F

he says, "What's this I hear?
G

I've trudged fifty flamin' miles
C

to a pub with no beer"
Verse 3
C

Now there's a dog on the v'randah,
F

for his master he waits
G

But the boss is inside,
C

drinking wine with his mates
F

He hurries for cover and he cringes in fear
G

It's no place for a dog,
C

round a pub with no beer

And old Billy the blacksmith,
F

the first time in his life
G

Why he's gone home cold sober,
C

to his darling wife

He walks in the kitchen,
F

she says "You're early, Bill dear"
G

But then he breaks down and tells her,
C

the pubs got no beer
Verse 4
C

Oh, it's hard to believe
F

that there's customers still
G

But the money's still tinkling
C

in the old ancient till

The wine dots are happy
F

and I know they're sincere
G

When they say they don't care
C

if the pub's got no beer
Outro 1
C

So it's-a lonesome away
F

from your kindred and all
G

By the campfire at night,
C

we'll hear the wild dingoes call

But there's-a nothing so lonesome,
F

morbid or drear
G

Than to stand in the bar
C

of that pub with no beer
F

  • 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.
