Verse 1
D
We used to
have a little carnival,
it came to our town.
The kids would ride the ride
around the old cash down around.
G
Down around the corner
where the preacher would never go.
D
You'd always find a rockin' rockin'
hoochie coochie show.
A
From up front at the bingo game
you'd hear them hollerin' loud.
G
Down around the corners
A
D
where you'd always find the crowd
G
D
Oh, they always had this cat
with a microphone loud
He'd say, y all jump right up here
and get amongst this crowd
G
Out for a step, a gala,
do a dance, or do a song

But what would thrill the boys
and those they had very little on

The chef looking nervous,
the D .A. tried to hide

Then the curtain opened
and old Charlene stepped outside

She had more booze than a rattlesnake
just before his fight

Charlie won the heart away from me

Now honey, why did you go?
I often wondered
whatever happened to old Charlene
You know, I really should have known
I'd never keep her on the farm
Not after she tasted the stain
I wonder, will she turn around
and come back if I call her
I'm gonna try now
Charlene, Charlene
Come back home, Charlene Charlene
Don't you leave me alone
Sharlene, oh, oh, Sharlene,
won't you hear what I say?
Sharlene, me, Sharlene, oh, Sharlene,
don't be so bad.
Sharlene, babe, you're all I have.
Sharlene, I'm hurt to the bone.
Sharlene, come back home.
You

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
