You,
F

Les

Paul,

Thank

You,

Django,

Thank

You,

Merle

Are you aware of one great gift
C

you gave the world?

Beyond the craft your hands

created on your frets
G
Gm

You had a hand in molding those of chess
C
F

You set that bashful boy from

Knoxville all aglow

Each time he heard you pickin' on the radio
C

And even though it's

God alone who made the man

It took guys like you to mulch at
F

Atkins' hands
C
F

Those hands that shook with

fear like any normal hand

He played smooth and sweet the

night he opened at the
C

Strand

Those unique hands that started

life out splittin' rails
G

Who'd have thought they'd one
Gm

day fret from splittin' nails?
C
F

And who'd have thought that

Nashville boy from

Tennessee

Would one day win the hand of

Grand

Ole
C

Opry

I hadn't heard a thought that

Nashville sound would soon expand

From the love and guidance of

Chet
F

Atkins' hand
Db

The road to
F#

Nashville wasn't paved

with ivory keys

Especially for an awkward
Db

boy still in his teens

At times he had no one to

tell his troubles to
Ab

And no sunshine in the
Abm

land of sunshine soon
Db
F#

He played for money and

for marbles and for

chalk

He tried to sing, but

Lord, the kid could hardly
C#

talk

But he spoke a language

all could understand

But only when translated through

Chet
F#

Atkins' hands
C#
F#

Joy is an unemployed

picker getting hired

And grief is when that picker's
C#

always getting fired

When he's working job to

job and band to band
G#

And label calls he's always
G#m

getting canned
C#
F#

But everybody knows it's

grief as well as joy

That helped to mow terrific
C#

men from simple boys

And everybody knows

he's one terrific man

From head to toe and through

Jed
F#

Adkin's hand

So thank you,

Maybell, thank you,

Knoxville, thank you,

Lord

And thanks to who it was that showed
Db

Jed his first cord

He's come a million miles since

Knoxville and the

Strand

I'd go a million miles to shake

Chet

Atkins' hand I'd go a

  • 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.
