G
D
The man
who preached the funeral
G
Said it really was a simple way to die
A
He laid down to rest one afternoon
D
And never opened up his eyes
They hired me and Fred and Joe
To dig the grave and carry
G
up some chairs
A
It took us seven hours
And I guess we must have drunk
D
a case of beer.
Verse 2
D
I guess I ought to go and watch
them put 'I'm down
G
But I don't own a suit
A
And anyway when they
start talkin' about
D
The fire in Hell, well, I get spooked
So, I'll just sit here in my truck
And act like I don't know
G
'I'm when they pass
A
Anyway, when they're all through
I've got to go to work
and mow the grass.
D
Verse 3
Well, here they come and who's that
Ridin' in that big ol' shiny
G
limousine
A
Mmh! look at all that chrome,
I do believe
D
That's the sharpest thing I've seen
That must belong to his great uncle
Someone said he owned
G
a big ol' farm
A
When they get parked I'll
mosey down
and look it over,
that won't do no harm.
D
Verse 4
Well, that must be the widow in the cr

And would you take a look at that

That sure is a pretty dress
You know some women do

And they say that his truck is up for sale
A
They say she took it pretty hard
But you can't tell too
much behind the veil.
D
Verse 5
Well, listen ain't that pretty
When the bugler plays
G
the Military "Taps"
A
I think that when you's
in the war
They always (hide 'n) play
D
a song like that
Well, here I am and there they go
G
And I guess you'd call it my bad luck
A
I hope he rests in peace, the trouble is
D
The fellow owes me forty bucks.

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!!!”

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.”
