    Yeah, here comes Amos
    Verse 1
    G

    Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
    A
    C

    He lived by himself in the swamp

    He hunted alligator for a living

    He'd just knock them

    in the head with a stump
    G

    The Louisiana law gonna get you, Amos

    It ain't legal hunting alligator down

    in the swamp, boy
    Verse 2
    G

    Now everyone blamed his old man
    A
    C

    For making him mean as a snake

    When Amos Moses was a boy

    His daddy would use him

    for alligator bait
    G

    Tie a rope around his base

    and throw him in the swamp

    Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou

    Named him after a man of the cloth

    Called him Amos Moses

    Verse 3
    G

    Now the folks from down south Louisiana
    A
    C

    Said Amos was a hell of a man

    He could trap the biggest,

    the meanest alligator

    And he'd just use one hand
    G

    That's all he got left

    'cause an alligator bit it

    Left arm gone clear up to the elbow
    Verse 4
    G

    Well the sheriff caught wind that Amos
    A
    C

    Was in the swamp trapping alligator skin

    So he snuck in the swamp to gon'

    and get the boy

    But he never come out again
    G

    Well, I wonder

    where the Louisiana sheriff went to

    Well, you can sure get lost

    in the Louisiana bayou

    • 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.
