D
G
D
F#
Bm
Gus is the cat at the theater door
Em
A
D
His name, as I ought to have told you before,
G
Is really asparagus,
D
F#
Bm
Em
but that's such a fuss to pronounce
G
that we usually call him just Gus.
D
G
D
His coat's very shabby,
F#
Bm
he's thin as a rake,
Em
A
and he suffers from palsy
D
that makes his pores shake.
G
D
Yet he was in his youth
F#
Bm
quite the smartest of cat s,
Em
A
though no longer a terror
G
D
To mice an d to rats.
G
D
For he isn't the cat
Em
D
that he was in his prime.
G
D
Though his name was quite famous,
F#
Bm
he says, in his time.
Em
D
And whenever he joins his
Em
friends at the club,
D
G
D
Which takes place at the back
F#
Bm
of the neighboring pub,
Em
A
D
He loves to regale them if someone else pays,
Em
A
With anecdotes drawn
D
from his palmiest days.
G
D
For he once was a star
Em
of the highest degree,
D
G
D
He has acted with arming,
Bm
he has acted with tree
Em
D
G
D
and he likes to relate his success of the halls
G
D
F#
Bm
where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls
Em
but his grandest creation
Asus4
Bm
as he loves to tell
Em
G
A
C
G
D
A
D
was fire fro fiddle the fiend of the fell
G
D
I have played in my time
A
Bm
every possible part,
Em
A
and I used to know seventy
D
speeches by heart.
G
D
I'd ex temporize backchat,
F#
Bm
I knew how to gag,
Em
A
and I knew how to let the
G
D
cat out of the bag.
G
D
I knew how to act
F#
Bm
with my back and my tail.
Em
A
With an hour of rehearsal
D
I never could fail.
G
Bm
I'd a voice that would soften
D
F#
Bm
the hardest of hearts.
Em
Whether I I took the lead,
A
G
D
or in character parts,
G
Bm
D
I have sat by the bedside
Em
of poor little Nell.
D
Em
When the curfew was rung,
D
F#
Bm
then I swung on the bell.
Em
In the pantomime season,
D
G
I never fell flat,
D
Em
D
And I once understudied Dick
F#
Bm
Whittington's cat.
Em
But my grandest creation,
A
Bm
as his tory will tell,
Em
G
Was fire -throw -fiddle,
A
G
C
G
D
G
A
D
the Fiend of the Fell.
Then if someone will give him
a toothful of gin,
Em
A
He will tell how he once played
D
a part in East Lynn.
At a Shakespeare performance
A
D
he once walked on pat,
Bm
When some actor suggested
A
Em
A
the need for a cat.
G
And I say, love, these kittens,
D
Em
D
they do not get trained
G
D
As we did in the days
Bm
when Victoria reigned
G
D
Em
They never get drilled in a regular troop
D
G
D
And they think they are smart
Bm
just to jump through a hoop
And he says,
Em
A
as he scratches himsel
D
f with his claws,
Em
A
Well, the theatre is certainly
D
not what it was.
G
These modern productions
D
Em
D
are all very well,
G
D
But there's nothing to equal
F#
Bm
from what I hear tell.
Em
That moment of mystery
G
Bm
when I made history
Em
G
A
As fire -floor fiddle,
G
G
D
A
D
the fiend of the fell. you

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.”
Great to tune and play
