    Mc

    where 
    that's 
    at 

    And 
    no

    And 
    no 
    one's 
    gettin' 
    fat 
    except 
    Mama 
    Cass 

    Verse 3
    When 
    Cass 
    was 
    sophomore, 

    planned 
    to 
    go 
    to 
    Swarthmore 

    But 
    she 
    changed 
    her 
    mind 
    one 
    day 

    Standin' 
    on 
    the 
    turnpike, 

    thumb 
    out 
    to 
    hitchhike 

    Take 
    me 
    to 
    New 
    York 
    right 
    away 

    When 
    Denny 
    met 
    Cass 

    he 
    gave 
    her 
    love 
    bumps 

    Called 
    John 
    and 
    Zal 

    and 
    that 
    was 
    the 
    Mugwumps 

    Mc
    Guinn 
    and 
    McGuire 
    couldn't 
    get 
    no 
    higher 

    But 
    that's 
    what 
    they 
    were 
    aimin' 
    at 

    And 
    no 
    one's 
    gettin' 
    fat 
    except 
    Mama 
    Cass 

    Verse 4
    Mugwumps, 
    high 
    jumps, 

    low 
    slumps, 
    big 
    bumps 

    Don't 
    you 
    work 
    as 
    hard 
    as 
    you 
    play 

    Make 
    up, 
    break 
    up, 
    everything 
    is 
    shake 
    up 

    Guess 
    it 
    had 
    to 
    be 
    that 
    way 

    Se
    bastian 
    and 
    Zal 
    formed 
    the 
    Spoonful 

    Mi
    chelle, 
    John, 
    and 
    Denny 
    gettin' 
    very 
    tuneful 

    Mc
    Guinn 
    and 
    McGuire 
    just 
    catchin' 
    fire 

    In 
    L.A., 
    you 
    know 
    where 
    that's 
    at 

    And 
    everybody's

    Verse 5
    Broke, 
    busted, 
    disgusted, 

    agents 
    can't 
    be 
    trusted 

    And 
    Mitchy 
    wants 
    to 
    go 
    to 
    the 
    sea 

    Cass 
    can't 
    make 
    it, 

    she 
    says 
    we'll

    • 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.
