    Verse 1
    You 
    walk 
    into 
    the 
    room 

    with 
    your 
    pencil 
    in 
    your 
    hand 

    You 
    see 
    somebody 
    naked 
    and 
    you, 

    You 
    say, 
    "Who 
    is 
    that 
    man?" 

    You 
    try 
    so 
    hard 
    but 
    you 

    don't 
    understand 

    Just 
    what 
    you 
    will 
    say 
    when 
    you 
    get 
    home 

    Chorus 1
    Be

    you 
    don't 
    know 
    what 
    it 
    is 

    Do 
    you, 
    Mr. 
    Jones? 

    Verse 2
    You 
    raise 
    up 
    your 
    head 

    and 
    you 
    ask, 
    "Is 
    this 
    where 
    it 
    is?" 

    And 
    somebody 
    points 
    to 
    you 

    and 
    says, 
    "It's 
    his" 

    And 
    you 
    say, 
    "What's 
    mine?" 

    and 
    somebody 
    else 
    says, 
    "Well, 
    what 
    is?" 

    And 
    you 
    say, 
    "Oh 
    my 
    God, 

    am 
    here 
    all 
    a
    lone?"

    happen
    ing 

    and 
    you 
    don't 
    know 
    what 
    it 
    is 

    Do 
    you, 
    Mr. 
    Jones? 

    Verse 3
    You 
    hand 
    in 
    your 
    ticket 

    and 
    you 
    go 
    watch 
    the 
    geek 

    Who 
    immediately 
    walks 
    up 
    to 
    you 

    when 
    he 
    hears 
    you 
    speak 

    And 
    says, 
    "How 
    does 
    it 
    feel 

    to 
    be 
    such 
    freak?" 

    And 
    you 
    say, 
    "Im
    possible!" 

    as 
    he 
    hands 
    you 
    bone

    Bridge 1
    You

    your 
    looks 

    With 
    great 
    lawyers 

    you

    sword 
    swallower, 

    he 
    comes 
    up 
    to 
    you 
    and 
    then 
    he 
    kneels 

    He 
    crosses 
    himself 
    and 
    then 

    he 
    clicks 
    his 
    high 
    heels 

    And 
    without 
    further 
    notice, 

    he 
    asks 
    you 
    how 
    it 
    feels 

    And 
    he 
    says, 
    "Here

    your 
    throat 
    back, 

    thanks 
    for

    ought 
    to 
    be

    • 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.
