But for poor old Bob and his trucky mates

Those sparkling milky jewels

Where fate has struck at fool

Well, we drank and talked to the locals

And ate at the Opal Inn

The vegetable soup I'm

pleased to say

Wasn't out of a heated tin

And the bowls were more like gold pans

And boy, the broth was great

It reminded me of my grandma,

so I ordered another plate

knew the town he now despised

He said it really had character,

Well I'm blood if I could see it,

G

it had a hell of a way to go

But his petrol was dear as poison,

so I guess he ought to know

In a dusty lean -to town,
A

with a dusty digger's face
A

Where you can find an opal,

if you can stand the pace

Where you can dig a hole

Well the blacks call

And blowers pop through those

sandstone dumps
D

Lookin' like hammerheads in the air
D
G

In the middle of nothing but saltbush
D
A

It's alien and it's rare

There's no piece of cake on a gravel road

If you can stand the place,

where you can be a miner

  • 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.
