Firing The Surgeon General chords by 
The Foremen 
N/A•
Verse 1
G
Many of the Foreman's songs
were topical in nature,
and for external use only.
Now the problem with topical songs
is that they go out of date so fast.
D
Remember the McKinley assassination rag,
for instance?
G
I didn't think so.
D
Well, in 1994, President Bill Clinton
G
fired his Surgeon General,
Joycelyn Elders,
for suggesting that sex education
D
G
should include individual study.
The foremen got right on it,
and when they were done,
D
G
C
they performed this seminal song.
D
G
You can't come in,
D
I hear you knockin'

I hear you knockin'

You can't come in,

C
I used to flog the dolphin,
used to choke the chicken,
used to spank the monkey,
G
used to pull with the tool
C
I used to whip the bishop,
used to wax the weasel
A
But now I learned one
D
they never taught in school
G

G
But you can't come in,
C
D
G
cause I'm firing the Surgeon General
C
I used to whack the bobbit,
used to knead the noodle,
used to charm the cobra,
G
used to ponder pointillism,
C
I used to free the willy,
used to pat the Robertson,
A
D
but now I got me a new euphemism.

think I'd need analysis
Get phalluses full of calluses

Go blind, lose my mind

Be romantically disinclined

Or qualified at all if I'd go to work
Eb
As a clerk
Ab
Eb
Try to be anything but a jerk
F
But now I'm on a dancing show
I'm jumping like a trout
G
Because I found a way to bat it,
and make a living at it.

Yeah, I got into politics
D
and I'm never coming, never coming,
I'm never coming out.

but you can't come in.

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
