Well I've been stuck in low gear for

Climbin' up a steep hill with

But the big ol' white was a fuel delight,

And the best rig doin' the rounds,
Verse 4

But you know what it's like when

Everything that you do,

Verse 5
D

good long stretch

of downhill runnin',

So I let her have her head

a little bit longer,

An' she took off like a melly bull.
A

Then my mind on a meal an'

my hands on the wheel,

into six foot logs,

(You know what time it is then mate.)
A
E

Time for a stop.
Verse 7
E

Well, I went for the brakes like

a drunk for the bottle,
A

But my foot missed the mark an'

it landed on the throttle,

And the diesel roared an'

I prayed to the Lord

To the Lord "Won't you
B

gi'me a break."
E

Oh, I guess he wasn't listen'

Or maybe he was taken

Cause soon I was riding a

22 wheel roller skate,
E
Verse 8


Then the wheels left the road

as far as I can remember,

I was roaring thru the bush like

a shearer on a bender,
E

When the door opened up

and who should get in?

But a big red kangaroo
B
Verse 9

He said, "G'day mate,

Give us the wheel there,

I'll get ya thru it."

Then he crashed thru the gears an'
B
E

we missed another big ole dump,

Oh yeah!
Verse 10
E

Well a round- a- bout here it kinda

gets in a muddle,

Though I seem to recall giving a koala

a cuddle an' a possum on the lap,

An' a white cockatoo screamin',

"Give her a go, ya mug."
B
Verse 11

E

Then when I awoke it was no damn joke,
A

I was alone in the cab except for
E

blokes of Billinugel,
B

Starin' in the window and sayin',
E

"Are you alright mate?"
B

I said, "Fellas give us a big

mug of black coffee,
B

A Billinugel special

burger with the works,

Because u know fellas,
B

ya never gonna believe this."
Verse 12
E

Well it must- a been 'round

The first sight of dawn creepin'

over the horizon,

Fifteen minutes from a

Billinugel breakfast,

I was rollin' down highway one.

Verse 13

E

And ya know what it's like

Up around the Northern rivers

Those windin' roads just

give me the shivers,

  • 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.
