Verse 1
D
Bishop Cody's last
request was wired across the sea.
Find my wandering brother boys,
and bring him home to me.
G
I knew him as an infant,
as a meek and trusting child,
D
But lately I've had sad reports that my
brother is running wild.
A
Oh bring my brother home to me.
G
With my own eyes I've got to see,
D
Just what he's in to.
Verse 2
D
Bishop Cody's last request
received especial care.
The trail said California and they found
his brother there.
G
They found him in an alley,
in a sea of broken glass.
D
They plucked him from the traffic
of the hustlers tripping past
A
Oh sir you're brother's eyes are dim
G
We've come to take you
home to him
D
He needs to see you.
Verse 3
D
Bishop Cody's last request
was told in great detail.
The messengers were desperate men,
They had not come to fail.
G
They pressed their case with fervor.
Their urgency was clear.
D
But Bishop Cody's brother smiled
and did not seem to hear.
A
Oh, give the Bishop my regards.
G
Thanks for all the birthday cards.
D
He never failed me.
Verse 4
D
Bishop Cody's messengers
were left with no recourse.
The situation plainly called
G
for a little use of force.
C
G
They grabbed him by the shoulder,
but the shoulder slipped away.
D
As he vanished down the alley
they could hear the brother say,
A
Oh, give the Bishop my regards.
G
Thanks for all the birthday cards.
D
He never failed me.

Verse 5
D
Bishop Cody's message was
broadcast thru the town,
And Bishop Cody's brother was
quite often seen around.
G
The messengers were frantic,
quite efficient and discreet,
D
But their manner proved distracted when
they saw him on the street.
A
Oh, sir you have to go.
G
Oh sir at least you owe,
D
An explanation.
Verse 6
D
Bishop Cody's last request
was finally denied.
As his spirit left his body someone heard,
"My hands are tied."
G
The word went down the alley,
that the Bishop was at rest,
D
And someone opened up a bar called
The Bishop's Last Request.
A
His brother told the priest,
G
The bishop rests in peace.
D
He never failed me.

A
His brother told the priest,
G
The bishop rests in peace.

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

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
