Grasshopper Mac Clain chords by 
Jimmy Dean 
N/A•
Key: F major•BPM: 91
Intro 1
D
Verse 1
G
Me and that Navy ain't speaking.
D
At sailing, I tell you, I'm through.
On the advice of a doc, I got me a shock.
I had to have something to do.
E
These nerves I've got are from
soaking too long
A
when a ship got hit by a plane.
D
And right here, about four years back,
I met Grasshopper McLean.
G
The sun was a -burning
in the desert red hot,
Em
D
and his mother drove in with a flat.
G
She went inside to cool off with a beer,
D
and I saw her kid in the back.
He lay on the seat in the sweltering heat,
A
D
with hair the color of flame.
A
A red -headed mite,
but smiling and bright,
was little old Grasshopper McClain.
I fixed her tire
and was toting him around
D
when she asked me how much she owed.
I just laughed and said, oh,
I'll settle for him.
And to my surprise,
A
she drove off down the road.
I figured she'd sober
and come hurrying back.
E
But for three long years, she never came.
A
And all that time, I was mother and dad
to little old Grasshopper McClain.
D
I'd tell him of ships I'd
sailed on the seas
when I put him to bed at night,
and that freckle -faced kid
G
was sharp as a tack
and quick as a mate for a fight.
D
I thought I'd wait till he'd grown a bit
G
and let him pick out his own name.
One day he came in with a
bug in his hand
D
and he said, Me, Grasshopper McLean.
Oh, he'd mimic my walk
A
and he'd mimic my talk,
D
like my shadow, he'd just tag me around.
He even had to be checked
every time I was checked by the
Navy doc over in town.
The doc would laugh and thump
G
his little old chest
D
and say, Feller, you're right as rain.
Then he'd turn to me
G
D
and tell me that I'd be a new man,
thanks to Grasshopper McLean.
I guess you wonder why I'm telling you this.
E
Well, that's why I'm here doing time.
A
D
For a bang and a sheriff
A
and a red -headed dame
D
that came to take what was mine.
Ah, but you should have seen
the way he fought.
G
You could tell that kid was Navy trained.
D
But this lonely cell
E
G
wouldn't be so much like hell
D
If I only had Grasshopper McLean

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

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.”
