    Down in the jungle,
    G

    down in the swamp,

    Down where the weather
    C

    is warm and damp,
    F

    Lived an alligator with a little green tail,
    G

    And it wiggled when he wriggled

    down the watery trail.
    C

    His name was Allen,
    G

    he was three feet long;

    His skin was tough and his
    C

    teeth were strong.

    His eyes were clear and his
    F

    brain was smart,
    G

    And deep inside he had

    a friendly heart.

    he wanted to do what's right.
    G

    Allen loved his swampland fun,
    C

    Loved to bask in the warm,

    warm sun.
    F

    He'd lie all day in the sun,

    and then
    G

    He'd slide right back in

    the water again.
    C

    He'd do what the grown- up
    G

    alligators did;

    He'd slide where the grown- up
    C

    alligators slid.

    He'd practice swimming,
    F

    he'd twist and turn,
    G

    For a little alligator has a lot to learn.

    One day he was swimming

    in the shady pool,

    When he heard some children
    C

    coming home from school,
    F
    G

    Teasing each other, playing with the ball;

    One little child took a great big fall.
    C
    G

    One little child took a great big spill,

    Down in the dandelions
    C

    rolling down the hill.
    F

    Down in the water with a great big smack;

    Did what any gentleman would.

    He carried that child to the
    F

    bank of the creek;
    G

    He winked his eye because

    he could not speak.
    C
    G

    The little girl smiled and ran away,

    And when Allen came swimming
    C

    in the creek next day,
    F

    The little girl blew a kiss his way,
    G

    And left wild flowers in a bright

    • 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.
