Verse 1
D
Linda was killed last Saturday
about fifteen blocks from where she lives
G
In a car crash, people gathered around the graveside
D
friends and relatives dressed in black
Preacher mumblin' how she's
bound to go to Heaven
G
The service started at half- past ten,
it was all over by eleven
D
They say it's God's to give,
A
and God's to take away,
Bm
G
But why He happened to pick Linda on a Saturday night,
no one could say.
A
D
G
Maybe it's just one of those things
D
One of those things
Verse 2
D
They found guy the who did it,
he had the lobotomy and the chicken eyes,
G
And he gazed around the courtroom
with a kind of vague surprise
D
Reminded me of one of those Vikings
with the long- handled swords
G
The kind of guy even Joan Baez
would not feel non- violent towards
D
Said he wasn't looking,
A
maybe he had had a bit too much
Bm
It was dark, it was raining,
G
he didn't see the light or some such
A
D
G
It was just one of those things,
D
One of those things.

Verse 3
D
I asked my local guru the situation
and he gave me this reply
G
While pointing a bony finger up into
D
the general direction of the sky:
"Get on with your own life,
it is not ours to reason why"
G
Said he used to worry about it
once when he was young
Now he doesn't even bother to try
D
He left me with a feeling that what
A
he said was basically sound
Bm
Like a black hole in space, or philosophy,
G
A
useless but profound
D
G
Just one of those things,
D
One of those things.
Verse 4
D
Tonight I'm gonna take myself
down to my local cafe
G
Gonna get smashed out of my mind,
gonna waste myself away
D
Gonna drink and drink and sink
into that dark abyss
G
I wanna be just like that Viking,
I wanna know if ignorance is truly bliss.
D
Linda's in the cold ground,
A
won't see her anymore
Bbdim
Bm
Somewhere out on the highway tonight,
G
A
the drunken engines roar
D
G
It's just one of those things,
D
One of those things.

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

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
