    Verse 1
    Some 
    people 
    say 
    that 
    life 
    is a 
    game, 

    well 
    if 
    this 
    is 
    so 

    I'd 
    like 
    to 
    know 
    the 
    rules 
    on 
    which 

    this 
    game 
    of 
    life 
    is 
    based. 

    know of 
    no 
    game 
    more 
    fitting 

    than the 
    age 
    old 
    game 
    of 
    cricket 

    It has 
    honor, 
    it has 
    character 

    and it's 
    British. 

    Now 
    God 
    laid 
    down 
    the 
    rules 
    of life 
    when he 

    wrote 
    those 
    Ten 
    Commandments 

    And to 
    cricket 
    those 
    ten 
    same 

    rules 
    shall 
    ap
    ply. 

    Show 
    compas
    sion 
    and 
    self- 
    righteousness 

    and be 
    honest 
    above 
    all 

    And 
    come 
    to God's 
    call 
    with 

    Interlude 1
    bat 
    and ball. 


    Verse 2
    Now the 
    Devil 
    has 
    a play
    er 
    and he's 

    called 
    the 
    De
    mon 
    Bowler, 

    He's 
    shrewd, 

    he's 
    rude 
    and 
    he's 
    wicked. 

    He is sent 
    by 
    Sinful 
    Satan 
    and he's 

    out 
    to take 
    your wick
    et 

    And you 
    know 
    that 
    that's 
    not 
    cricket. 

    He'll 
    baffle 
    you 
    with 
    googlies with leg 

    breaks 
    and off 
    spin 

    But 
    keep a 
    level 
    head 
    and don't 

    let that 
    demon 
    in

    So 
    keep 
    a straight 
    bat 
    at 
    all times, 

    let 
    the Bib
    le 
    be 
    your 
    guide 

    And 
    you'll get 
    by, 

    yes 
    you'll 
    get 
    by. 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 3
    All 
    through 
    your 
    life 
    he'll 

    try 
    to 
    bowl 
    you 
    out 

    Beware 
    the 
    Demon 
    bowler. 

    He's 
    crafty 
    and 
    deceit
    ful 

    and he'll 
    try 
    to 
    L.B.W., 

    And bowl 
    maiden 
    over. 

    The 
    Dev
    il 
    takes 
    the weak 
    in spirit 
    and 

    so we 
    must 
    always 
    be 
    courageous 

    And re
    member 
    that God 

    is on 
    your side. 

    So keep 
    old 
    Satan 
    in 
    your sights 
    and 

    play 
    the straight 
    and narrow 
    line 

    And 
    you'll 
    get 
    by, 

    yes 
    you'll 
    get 
    by.

    • 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.
