  • Verse 1
    Helen 
    Humes 

    is that wonderful 
    new singer 

    with Count 
    Basie's big band. 

    She made 
    her record debut back 

    in 1929 

    with James P. 
    Johnson at the piano 

    on OK. 

    Tonight 
    I got the 
    idea of 
    teaming 
    her 

    with a 
    small band 

    with 
    Count Basie 
    on piano, 

    Lester Young 
    switching over to clarinet, 


    Buck Clayton on 
    trumpet, 

    Joe Jones 
    on drums, 

    and 
    Walter 
    Page on bass. 

    Helen's going 
    to sing the blues, 

    very young. 


    Bet
    ter 
    than 
    love 
    myself 

    And 
    if he 
    won't 
    have 
    me 

    He 
    won't 
    have nobody 
    else 

    Why, 
    went 
    up on 
    a mountain 

    Looked 
    down 
    as 
    far 
    as I 
    could see 

    went 
    up 
    on 
    the 
    mountain, 

    looked down 
    as far 
    as 
    I could 
    see 

    All 
    the 
    women 
    had my 
    man, 

    Interlude 1
    all 
    the 
    blues had 
    me 





    Why, 
    Verse 2
    you can take 
    my man, 

    but 
    you sure 
    can
    't keep 
    him long 

    Oh, 
    you 
    can 
    take 
    my 
    man, 

    you 
    sure 
    can
    't keep 
    him 
    long 

    I've 
    got that 
    old 
    way of lovin' 

    the 
    other 
    women 
    can't 
    catch 
    up 

    Why, 
    I'm a 
    big 
    fat 
    mama 

    with 
    the 
    meat shak
    in' 
    on 
    my 
    bones 

    Oh, 
    I'm 
    big, 
    fat mama 

    with 
    the meat 
    shakin' 
    on 
    my 
    bone 

    Why, 
    every 
    time 
    shake 
    it, 

    some 
    skinny woman 
    loses 
    her 
    bone

    • 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.
