    Verse 1
    Am

    On a rainy night,
    G

    you showed up at my door
    Am
    G

    Child of the night, down and forlorn
    Am

    Still I took you in,
    G
    Am

    it's in the stars above

    All girls are made the same,
    G

    they all need a little love
    F

    And the magic of the moment
    G

    Exploded with desire
    F

    When the time is right,

    the sparks ignite
    G

    And set the night on fire
    Verse 2
    Am
    G

    It's chain lightnin', too hot to fight
    Am
    G

    Hot on the heels of a Saturday night
    Am
    G

    Chain lightnin', out of control
    Am

    Straight to the heart
    G

    and down to your soul
    Am
    G

    Chain lightnin', heavens above
    Am

    Another day older,
    G

    still searching for love
    Am
    G

    Chain lightnin, too hot to fight
    C
    Dm

    And it's hotter than hell,
    C
    Am

    in the heavens tonight
    Verse 3
    Am


    I was livin' hard,
    G

    I was feelin' down and lonely
    Am

    When toward the boulevard,
    G

    a limousine moved slowly
    Am

    And I noticed in the back seat,
    G

    a lady wrapped in fur
    Am

    Her eyes burned through me,
    G

    and mine stared back at her
    F

    And I recognized the moment
    G

    As I opened up her door
    F

    I knew I would regret it
    G

    I've been burned before
    Verse 4
    Am
    G

    It's chain lightnin', too hot to fight

    G

    Hot on the heels of a Saturday night
    Am
    G

    Am

    Straight to the heart and

    down to your soul
    G

    Chain lightnin', heavens above
    Am

    Another day older,
    G

    still searching for love
    Am

    Chain lightnin, too hot to fight

    Am

    in the heavens tonight
    Verse 5
    F

    And lord it's so hot when the
    G

    chain reaction
    Am

    Is set off with a kiss
    F
    G

    And it's so tough when the satisfaction
    F
    Am

    Is greater than the risk
    F

    When you look in her eyes and you realize
    G

    This time you can't resist
    Am
    It's chain lightnin'

    • 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.
