C
F

There was an old man, old man, old man,

There was an old man
C
F

who had grown so old.

He walked around limping,
C
F

limping, limping,

He walked around limping
C
F

with his crooked leg.

There was a young man,
C
F

young boy, young boy.

There was a young boy,
C
F

too naughty for words.

He laughed at the old man,
C
F

old man, old man.

He laughed at the old man
C
F

till he turned into a cat.

Have you ever noticed
C
F

how very different each one of us is?

In the way we look, the way we talk,
C
F

walk, laugh and sing?

These differences

are the things

that make each and
C

every one of us so special.
F

Well, some people

don't realize that.

Once there was a young boy

who lived with his mother and father

in a small town.
C
F

The boy was very, very naughty,

naughtier than anyone you've ever seen.
C
F

If he saw someone with cross eyes

or a very short upper lip,

he would laugh at them.
C

He would laugh until the other person
F

got embarrassed or angry or so upset
C

that they burst out crying.
F

One day he saw a girl

with only two fingers

on one hand.
C
F

The boy laughed so much

that he could not

even eat his supper that night.
C
F

His parents told him over and over

that it was not right to laugh at other

people
C

just because they are different.
F

They told him that everyone is special
C
F

and beautiful in their own way.

Do you think the naughty

naughty boy

listened to them?
C
F

No, he continued laughing at other people.

til one afternoon he was walking with
C

his mother
F

to the train station,

when he saw an old man
C

with one short, crooked leg.
F

The old man carried a bag

and he was rushing for the train.
C

The boy thought he looked very funny,

F

as he tried to run to catch the train.
C

The boy laughed and laughed.
F

He rolled on the platform

holding his stomach, Ha!
C

Pour it together old man.
F

And he loved some more!
C

His mother was embarrassed.
F

Other people at the

station were shocked.

Well, well what do you know?
C
F

Right there in front of everybody

the boy turned into a cat.
C
F

Yes, a big, fat,

brown and ugly cat with five legs.
C
F

And his eyes were a dirty green.

His ears were long

and there were fingers growing
C

at the top of them.
F

He was a horrible looking cat

and no one wanted anything
C

to do with him.
F

Embarrassed and sad,

the big, fat,
C

brown cat with five legs ran away.
F

His dirty green eyes filled with tears

and the fingers at the end
C

of his ears were waving goodbye.
F

His mother was very sad.
C

After some months,
F

people say that his heart

changed a lot.

Eventually,

he changed back into his old body

and went home to his family.
C
F

He became very nice to everyone,

no matter how different they looked.
C
F

If he saw a crooked old person

carrying big bags

trying to catch a bus,
C

he went and offered to help them.
F

When he saw other children fighting,


he went and talked them
C

into being friends again.
F

But he was especially nice

to funny -looking cats
C
F

on the roadside.
C
F

C
F

Se þi kexa, i kexa, i kexa

Wali se þi kexa, wapendu gi ka tili

  • 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.
