    Birm
    ing
    ham! 

    There's 
    Sam! 

    Verse 2

    If 
    you ever 
    get 
    down 
    to 
    Birmingham 

    Stop 
    off 
    and see 
    my 
    friend 
    Fat Sam 

    He's 
    little 
    butter- 
    ball 
    who aims 
    to please 

    With 
    him, 
    every 
    night 
    is 
    like 

    New Year's 
    Eve 

    You'll 
    find 
    him on 
    the 
    corner, 

    front 
    of Shorter's 
    bar 

    With 
    box- 
    back 
    coat 
    and a big 
    cigar 

    He's 
    always 
    wearing 
    a big 
    wide- 
    brim 

    Just 
    tell 
    him I sent 
    you 
    and, 
    man, 
    you' 
    in. 

    Verse 3
    Fat 
    Sam 
    from Birm
    ingham, 

    al
    ways 
    on 
    the ball 

    Fat 
    Sam 
    from 
    Birm
    ingham, 

    as 
    wide 
    as 
    he 
    is 
    tall 

    Interlude 1


    If 
    you're on 
    the loose 
    Verse 4

    and you wanna 
    play 

    Sam's 
    the man 
    to show 

    you the 
    way 

    'Cause 
    all 
    the chick
    s fall 

    for 
    his groovy 
    line 

    And 
    he's 
    ready for 
    a party 

    any old 
    time 

    If you get 
    a little hungry, 
    and you 
    wanna eat 

    Tell 
    Sam 
    all 
    about 
    it and he'll 

    give 
    you a treat 

    Neck- bones 
    and beans, 
    and 
    catfish 
    too 

    And 
    what 
    could be 
    better 

    than a good 
    beef 
    stew?

    Verse 6
    He'll tell 
    you 
    'bout money

    and 
    spent 

    And if you're 
    down 
    on your 
    luck 

    he'll 
    pay 
    your rent 

    He'll drink 
    and 
    fight, 
    and laugh 
    an
    d sing 

    'Cause 
    the 
    world 
    don't 

    owe him

    gone 
    thing. 

    He 
    plays 
    poker
    , coon- 

    can 
    and skin 

    But listen, 
    all 
    you gamblin' 
    men, 

    If you're

    Don't

    Sam,

    much 
    too much.

    Bessie 

    used to spend 
    her days 

    Preachin' 
    to Sam

    She 
    followed 
    him around 

    with a book 
    in her 
    hand 

    Try

    She 
    used

    • 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.
