Give me forty acres
F
and I'll turn this rig around
G
C
It's the easiest way that I've found
Some guys can turn her on a dime
F
for turning right downtown
D
G
But I need 40 acres
C
to turn this rig around
When he found where to unload,
F
he had a dreadful shock
G
His trailer pointed to the road,
C
his cab right to the dock
And as he looked around him,
F
C
D
through his tears he made this sound
G
Give me 40 acres
and I'll turn this rig around

Give me 40 acres

The tears were streaming
down his cheeks,

Give me forty sticks of dynamite,

Uh -oh, there's a Volkswagen.
Would you mind moving the Volkswagen,

You there in the van,
get your hippies out of the way,
we're about to come home...

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.”
