    Verse 1

    Went 
    to 
    a 
    party 
    the 
    other 
    night, 

    everybody 
    was 
    there 

    Thought 
    that 
    I 
    would 
    have 
    some 
    fun 

    as 
    I 
    started 
    up 
    the stair. 

    Somebody 
    tried 
    to 
    ruin 
    it 
    when 

    he 
    won 
    a 
    raffle 
    prize, 

    Tried 
    to shake 
    and 
    shock 
    us 

    right 
    before 
    our 
    eyes. 

    While 
    we 
    danced, 

    while 
    we 
    were 
    dancing 

    Who 
    was 
    the fool 
    throw 

    the 
    bas
    ket 
    in 
    the 
    pool? 

    It 
    was 
    filled 
    with the 
    finest 
    cheeses 

    filled 
    with 
    imported 
    wine, 

    Wish 
    that 
    I 
    had 
    won 
    it, 

    and 
    I 
    wish 
    that 
    it 
    were 
    mine 

    I 
    know 
    some 
    wino lives 
    outside 
    of 
    town 

    How 
    would 
    gladly 
    cut 
    your 
    throat 

    if 
    he 
    could 
    drink 
    it 
    down 

    While 
    we 
    danced, 

    while 
    we 
    were 
    dancing 

    Who 
    was 
    the fool 
    throw 

    the bas
    ket 
    in 
    the 
    pool? 

    If 
    I 
    had 
    found 
    out 
    who he 
    was, 

    if 
    I'd 
    have 
    found 
    his 
    face, 

    Next 
    time 
    we 
    have 
    a party 

    gonna 
    find 
    out 
    his 
    name. 

    I've 
    been 
    on 
    the 
    ocean 
    swimming 

    know 
    poroise led 
    the way, 

    It 
    wasn't 
    worth 
    the 
    matter 
    and 
    it 

    wasn't 
    worth 
    the pay. 

    We 
    were 
    there, 

    go 
    right 
    on 
    dancing 

    Who 
    was 
    the 
    fool 
    throw 
    the 
    bas
    ket 

    in 
    the 

    pool? 

    How 
    can 
    I 
    go 
    swimming 
    now 

    my 
    world 
    is 
    laid 
    to waste? 

    It 
    was 
    the 
    worst 
    of 
    manners 
    and 

    it 
    was 
    the worst 
    of taste 

    Why 
    can't 
    we 
    be 
    left 
    alone? 

    Think 
    that 
    it 
    was 
    a crime 

    If 
    everyone 
    was 
    groovy 
    we 
    could 

    all 
    have 
    a 
    real 
    good 
    time. 

    We 
    could 
    dance, 
    go 
    right 
    on 
    dancing 

    Who 
    was 
    the 
    fool 

    throw 
    the 

    bas
    ket 
    in 
    the 
    pool?

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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.

      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.
