Heading for the

A
Bm
Alice with a dinkum show and crew.
A
With the ruggedest rig that we could find,
Bm
A
no rattle trap would do.
D
G
Just learning how to live the life in the
A
D
G
A
land of the kangaroo.
D
G
Now look out for the shorthorns,
A
Bm
the cattle signs are warned
D
G
You'll see them dead beside the road,
A
Bm
I guess they won't be mourned
A
Some people won't by travel and lights,
Bm
A
I guess it hasn't dawned
D
G
Like mugs who write their names on rocks,
A
D
G
A
this countryside is scorned
D
Well we hit the
Barclay
G
A
Bm
Tablelands and what a plain to see
D

It really is a big land,

it's open and it's free
The home of the

Boats with hairy legs,

D
G
A
God.
D
G
Well I met the local poet,
A
he said his name was
Bm
Ted.
D
G
He didn't know how to play guitar,
A
Bm
he played a box instead.
A
It's all so very simple,
Bm
A
just drink two dozen cans.
D
G
Squeeze it like a bagpipe and
A
D
G
A
belt it with your hands.
D
I met a girl named

G
We've had our disappointments,

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
