G

It ain't so much the boredom

But the fire in her soul

That made her life unbearable

While living in that hole
C

Of her dark surburban nightmare

'Till she went to see the Dead
G

And the self esteem she valued

Was immediately spent
D

And she had no one to turn to

So she just turned off her mind
C

She's a well adjusted wanderer

Verse 3
G

of old Wyoming

There's a couple from L.A.

They are post- environmentalists

Looking for to stay
C

'Till their friends all come to join them

In the quest for air to breathe
G

And when it gets too crowded

They will just pick up and leave
D

Like they did in New York City

When the coast seemed quite sublime
C

It don't take much but money

Verse 4
G

Marie is on the lounge chair

Draped around the pool

Avoiding almost anyone who'd

Desecrate he cool
C

It's the reason she's attractive

She's already self abused
G

And her pride won't feel the loneliness

That comes with being used
D

She's the center of the universe

For which she was designed
C

Until she wakes up wandering

Bill died of a heart attack

Beating up his wife

Now he's come back as a lesbian

That's looking for his wife
C

Who is now a psychoanalyst

That likes to work with plants
G

Except of course on weekends

When she likes to wear the pants
D

She's a leather goddess minister

Who works with the confined

It don't take much to realize

  • 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.
