    Verse 2

    Well 
    it seems that 
    ever since 
    I was 
    born 

    Some
    body 
    said to 
    me 

    My 
    Great 
    Grandad 
    John 

    Was just the kind 
    of 
    man 
    that 
    I ought 
    to be 

    He 
    built 
    a great big 
    factory 

    And 
    when he 
    passed away 

    They 
    put his 
    statue 
    in the 
    park 

    And its still 
    there 
    today 

    And the 
    birds 
    make 
    ter
    rible 
    Verse 3
    mess 

    of 
    my Great 
    Grandad 
    John 

    The 
    doggies 
    leave their 
    calling 
    cards 

    On the 
    stone he 
    stands 
    upon 

    The 
    kids throw 
    sticks 
    & bricks 
    at him 

    They 
    try 
    to pull him 
    down 

    My 
    Great 
    Grandad 
    John 

    the 
    hero 
    of the 
    town 

    Verse 4

    My 
    Great 
    Grandad 
    John made 

    fifty 
    thousand 
    pounds 

    But 
    now 
    the money 
    has all 
    gone 

    And his 
    house 
    has 
    fallen 
    down 

    No one 
    cares 
    about the 
    rich man 

    Made 
    of brass and 
    stone 

    And 
    in the 
    park 

    Out in the 
    dark 

    Great 
    Grandad 
    stands 
    alone 

    And the 
    birds 
    go 
    (twttttttt) on my 
    Verse 5

    Great 
    Grandad

    The doggies 
    leave their 
    calling 
    cards

    stone he 
    stands 
    upon 

    The 
    kids throw

    & bricks 
    at him 

    They 
    try 
    to pull him 
    down 

    My 
    Great 
    Grandad 
    John 
    the 
    hero 

    of the 
    town 


    Verse 6
    Twttttttt 

    "Argh! 
    Well at 
    least it wasn't 

    a Golden 
    Eagle!" 

    Verse 7
    Some
    times 
    I think 
    hear his 
    voice 

    It 
    sounds so 
    sad 
    and 
    old... 

    "Up 
    on this 
    pedestal's no 
    fun 

    It's 
    lonely 
    and it's 
    bloody 
    cold 

    So 
    just 
    you do what 
    you 
    want to 
    son 

    Lead the 
    life you 
    choose 

    And 
    don't make 
    fifty 
    thou
    sand 
    pounds 

    And 
    en
    d up 
    in my 
    shoes" 

    "Or 
    the birds 
    Verse 8
    will 
    (Twttttttt) on you 

    my 
    great grand
    son 

    The doggies 
    leave their

    cards 

    On the 
    stone you 
    stand 
    upon 

    The 
    kids throw 
    sticks 
    & bricks 
    at 
    you 

    They'll 
    try 
    to pull you 
    down 

    Like 
    Great 
    Grandad 
    John 

    the hero 
    of 
    the town" 

    Verse 9

    "I say 
    you down there 
    - how much 

    do you earn 
    per street?" 

    "Er... Er... 
    About 
    50 pence 

    a street 
    guv'ner..." 

    "Well 
    here's three

    • 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.
