Verse 1
D
Now all you boys and girls,
I want you to listen to this song.
When I was about your size,
there's an old fella
G
who used to sing this song to me.
D
Gm
D
And he told me that it was sure the truth.
And I used to say,
I don't believe it is now, is it?
G
And he'd say, oh yeah, definitely.
D
I want you to listen to these words
and see if you don't think
he was kidding me just a little bit.
Eb
D
Mr. Darby lived down on the creek
and when he told a tale
A
D
G
Every manor in the creek
D
got bigger than Jonah's whale
Eb
D
We used to sit with open mouths
E
and listen to his yarns
A
D
About the things when he was young
before us boys was born
Now wasn't he a -biggin' girls,
Eb
wasn't he a -biggin' boys
D
G
Now wasn't he a -beggin' boys
D
E
before they cut him down?
D
Now here's the part
about that awful big sheep
My granddad had a big old sheep
I still can hear him say
A
D
One of the finest rams, yes sir,
that ever was fed on hay
He had four legs to walk with
Eb
and he had four feet to stand
A
D
And every foot that he had
would cover an acre of land
Wasn't he a -biggin', boys?
A
Wasn't he a -biggin', girls?
D
G
Now, wasn't he a -biggin', boys,
D
before they cut him down?
Eb

Eb
D
Well, the wool that growed
upon his back
reached down to the ground
A
D
And when they cut it off in the spring
it would weigh 10 ,000 pounds
And the wool that growed
up on his neck
reached up to the sky
E
A
D
An d the hawks would
build their nest in it
A
D
cause they heard the little ones cry
Now wasn't he a biggun, boys?
Now wasn't he a biggun, boys?
I don't quite believe that myself,
do you now?
Oh, before they cut him down
Now the butcher man that cut his throat
A
was drowned in the blood
D
And the little boy that held the pan
Was washed away in the flood
Ah, wasn't he a -beggin' boys
Wasn't he a -beggin' girls
A
D
Wasn't he a -beggin' boys
G
D
Eb
Before they cut him down

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!!!”

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.”
