  • Verse 1
    Well, 
    the 

    Mockingbird, 

    Mockingbird, 
    oh, 

    Mockingbird, 

    The 

    Lord 
    looked 
    down 
    and 

    he gave 
    the word, 

    And the 
    angels 
    put the 

    song 
    in the 

    Mockingbird. 

    When man 
    was born, 

    he liked 
    what 
    he heard, 

    And 
    sang 
    to the 

    Lord 
    with 
    the 

    Mockingbird. 

    Sing 
    it 
    loud, 
    hear 
    me! 

    Well, 
    he 
    sang 
    to the 

    Lord 
    with 
    the 

    Mockingbird, 

    Praise 
    be! 

    And 
    the 
    good 

    Lord 
    liked 
    everything 
    he 
    heard 

    They 
    took 
    the 
    tune 
    and 

    the word

    Right 
    from 
    the 
    mocking
    birds 

    That's 
    how 
    song 
    was 
    born 

    An
    then 
    soft 
    evening 

    breeze 

    Hummed 
    through 
    the 
    willow 
    trees 

    That's 
    how 
    song 
    was 
    born. 

    The 
    tinkling 
    rain 
    from 
    the 

    sky 
    became 
    lullaby, 

    And 
    the blues 
    must 
    have 

    come 
    from 
    aside. 

    And 
    when 
    two 
    hearts 
    beat 
    in time, 


    Blue
    bell
    began 
    to chime. 

    That's 
    how 
    song 

    was 
    born. 

    They 
    took a 
    beat 
    and 
    made 
    it reek 

    They 
    took 
    a beat 
    and brought 
    it down 
    to 

    Basin 

    Street 

    Now 
    we 
    got 
    it 
    jumpin' 

    Satchmo, 
    get on 
    that 
    horn 

    Let's 
    hear, 
    let's 
    hear, 

    let's 
    hear 
    how 
    jazz 
    was 
    born 

    One, 
    two, 
    three, 
    four 

    They 
    took a 
    reed, 
    jungle beat, 

    brought 
    it 
    to 

    Basin 

    Street, 
    and 
    that's 
    how jazz 
    was 
    born. 

    And 
    then someone 
    played 
    wail, 
    all 
    up and 
    down the 
    scale, 

    and 
    that's 
    how 
    jazz 
    was 
    born. 

    They 
    simply 
    played what 
    they liked, 

    as 
    long 
    as it would 
    fit. 

    If 
    it just 
    had a 
    beat, 
    that was 
    it. 

    And 
    when a 
    horn 
    gave a 
    scream, 
    they 
    took it 
    as a theme, 

    and 
    that's 
    how 
    jazz 
    was born. 


    Interlude 1

    so

    • 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.
