  • Verse 1
    Daddy 
    Frank 
    played 
    the 
    guitar 

    and 
    the french 
    harp 

    Sister 
    played 
    the 
    ringing 
    tambour
    ine 

    And 
    mama 
    couldn't 
    hear 
    our 
    pretty 
    music 

    But 
    she 
    read our 
    lips 
    and 

    helped 
    the 
    family 
    sing 

    That 
    little 
    band 
    was 
    all 
    a part 
    of 
    living 

    And 
    our 
    only 
    means 
    of 
    living

    on 
    each 
    other 

    Their 
    one 
    and only 
    weakness 

    made 
    them strong 

    Mama 
    did 
    the driving 
    for 
    the family 

    And 
    Frank 
    made 
    a living 

    with 
    his song 

    Home 
    was 
    just 
    a camp 

    along 
    the highway 

    Pickup 
    bed 
    is 
    where 
    we 
    bedded 
    down 

    Don't 
    ever 
    once 
    remember 
    going 
    hungry 

    But 
    remember 
    Mama 
    cook

    ing 
    on 
    the ground

    sight 

    And 
    Mama

    • 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.
