ANANSI
G

THE

SPIDER
Bm

Once upon a time in a village far away,
C
D

it was time to eat lunch for the day.

Mr.
G
Bm

Turtle's tummy was a -rumbling.
C
D

He was ready to cook up something.
G

In his garden,

Mr.
Bm

Turtle trundled.
C
D

Under his flippers, yams he bundled.
G
Bm
C

I shall make a yam stew, said he.
D

A delicious feast just for me.
G

Into the pot the yams went smush
D

smash smash.
C
D

He whipped up the stew in it jiffy,

in a flash.
G

Yow!

It was hot and needed to chill,

so he left it on the windowsill.

And
C
D

Nancy, the trickster spider, was nearby.
C
D
G

He'd had no lunch, not even a fly.
D

Suddenly, a delicious smell of stew
G
D
C
G

in his nostrils grew and grew.
D

Sniff, sniff!
G

And

Nancy followed the smell towards
D
Bm

a house shaped like a shell.
C
D

There on the sill was a tasty stew.
C
D

And yam was his favourite stew too.
G

Anansi knock -knocked

on the house of shell.

Mr

Turtle appeared and sighed as well.
Em

Can I eat some of your stew?
D

Anansi said.

But
G

Mr

Turtle just shook his head.

Mr

Turtle thought this was rude.
Em
D

After all, the stew was his food.
C
G

No, you can't, he said to

Anansi.
Bm

This tasty feast is just for me.
C

Everyone knew
D

Anansi was cheeky.
G
Bm

He always made plans that were sneaky.
C
D

He suddenly thought of a cunning trick

to eat this stew ever so quick.
G

He said,
Bm
C

If I make something fly without wings,

Mr

Turtle,
D
G

can I try some of your delicious stew?

It seemed this couldn't be true.

Mr

Turtle laughed.
C

Something fly?
D

Without wings? I'd like to see you try!
Em
G

If this thing can fly fast an d true,
C
G
D

then I'll give you all of my tasty stew !"
G

Tee hee hee!

Anansi chuckled then too.

He knew exactly what to do.
D

He shot a long spider string,
G
C

so thin you couldn't see a thing.
D
G

He shot it towards the window, where
D

the stew was ready to go.
G

And
Em
D

Nancy glided on this spider string.

Whoosh!
G
Em

It looked like he was flying!
D

And
Em
D

Nancy slided and glided along.
G

The silk string was nice and strong.

Soon, he reached the stew pot,

and in his eight arms it was caught.

Mr

Turtle was so surprised,

he couldn't believe his turtle eyes.
D
G

Why, how did you do that?
Bm

said he.

And
C
D

Nancy giggled and danced with glee.

Mr.
G

Turtle felt sad and defeated.

Little did he know,
G

he'd just been cheated.
Em
D

You can have all the yam stew.
G
C
D

You flew without wings, that is true.
G

I'd like to share this stew, said

Anansi.
Bm

Mr.
C

Turtle smiled.
D
G

Great idea, I agree.
Bm

Slurp!
C
D

They ate the tasty stew right up,
G

and often after, together would sup.

  • 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.
