Verse 1
D

I was driving home on a boulevard,

late one night

When I spotted a cat over in the corner,
G
D

bummin' all alone

Now as I passed him by,
G

I heard him holler out, "Hey!"
D

I slowed down to see

what he said

He hollered, "Mmmm... by any chance

you goin' my way?"

I said, "Why sure, baby,

hop in & gimme a cigarette."

Just then he reached down in his pocket,

And that was the moment

that I regret...

He hollered,
G

"Reach for the sky!"
D

I said, "But,

I don't understand you, sir!"
A

"Don't gimme no monkey business...
G

this is the stopper in my hand!"
D

Again, he says,

"Uhhh... lookie here,"

"You see this here I got

in my hand?"

"This is a- a- a thirty- eight pistol,

built on a forty- five frame,"

"Shoots tombstone bullets

& a ball- and- chain."

He said, "Now, I- I- I- I ain't tryna shake you up,

but"

"B- b- b- but, I just want you to

know,"

"If the cops start to crowd me in,"

"Then, you gonna be the first to go."

"Now lookie here... don't

even look back!"

"Just drive ooonnn just like

nuthin' happened!"

That's what he said,

that's what he told me,

Said, "Don't even look back or

nuthin'!"

He said, "Uhhh..." now when I "get to that redlight,


" he wanted me to "go to my left,

& then jump back to my right,"

He said, "Now,

I- I- I want you to drive up in that alley,"

"N- n- not that alley! That

alley over there!"

"And pull up behind that liquor

store,"

"And keep a sharp lookout at all

times, while I sneak in the back door."

That's what he told me!

He said, "Uhhhh... keep your foot on that gas,

& always be on guard,"

"'Cause when I come runnin' outta there

with all that money,"

He wanted me to "mash down

on it real hard"

He said, "Now, uhhh...

don't lemme come outta there & find

me a double- cross,"

"Because I'll murder

when the heat's on."
G

"Reach for the sky!"
D

I said, "But, I don't

understand you, sir!"

"Don't try no monkey business... I got a stopper in

Woooo- weee! I was just sittin' there, just,

tremblin'!

Just then, a spotlight

hit me dead in the face

And this great, big,

Chicago cop behind me said, "Uhhh.

.move over a lil' bit,

baby... we gonna take yo' place."

Just then, this guy come runnin' out the

liquor store with all of that money in his hand,


He said, "Oh, there you are!"

He made a mistake in the dark & leaped

in the police car.

They put the handcuffs on him,

I said, "Child,

your crime might've outgrew him!"

Then they said, "Uhhh...",
G

when they drove him away,
D

"We gonna put you far back in jail this

time, they gonna have to pump

air into him!"
G

"Reach for the sky!"
D

I said, "But, I don't understand!"
A

"Don't gimme no monkey business...

this is a stopper in my hand!"
D

  • 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.
