Dm

Give me the green light, baby

It's been red long enough

Give me the green light, baby

So I can show you my stuff

My brakes are slipping

And the motor is running hot

I give you a super ride, mama

And you say thanks a lot

Give me the green light, baby

It's been red long enough

Give me the green light, mama

So I can show you my stuff

You better brace yourself

When I shift my gear

Let me show you, mama

What I've learned through the years

I don't need a speed limit,

no fuel shortage for us

You may think I'm a

UFO, the way I do my stuff

Give me the green light, baby,

it's been red long enough

Give me the green light, mama,

Dm

I don't need a speed limit,

no fuel shortage for us

You may think I'm a

UFO, but the way I do my stuff

Give me the green light, mama,

so we can get underway

Give me the green light, baby,

maybe I'll love

Mother

Day

Give me the green light baby,

it's been red long enough

Give me the green light mama,

so I can show you my stuff

Green light, I can't stand the red

Green light, I can't stand the red

I got the mood, I got the mood

I got the mood, I got the mood

I can't stand still, mama, I can't stand still

I can't stand still, baby, I can't stand still

I got to get a hold of, I got to get a hold of

I got to get a hold of, I got to get a hold of

Give it a green light, baby,

it's been red long enough

Give it a green light, mama,

so I can show you my stuff

Give it a green light, baby,

green light, baby

Green light, green light

Can't stand the caution,

cause I got to go

Can't stand the caution,

I've got to go

Give it a green light

Come on, give me the green light

The red is no good, the red is no good

Red's no good, red's no good

Red means danger, red means danger

Red means danger, red means danger

I need the green light

So I get to make my trip

I need the green light

So I can't make my trip

Listen

You pop the whip

And I make my trip

You pop the whip

And I make my trip

Give me the green light

Give me the green light

Give me the green light

Give me the green light

Come on, come on

Come on, come on

You better catch up

You're gonna get left behind

You better try to keep up

You're gonna get left behind
C
Dm

You better try to keep up

You're gonna get left behind

Make my teeth up, wanna get left behind

Oh, I can feel it, I can feel it

I can feel it, I can feel it

Feel my motor running,

feel my motor running

Feel my motor running, feel my motor running

I can feel my motor running,

feel my motor running

Feel my motor running,

feel my motor running

  • 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.
