    Verse 1
    Goin' 
    down 
    a dusty 
    road, 

    turned 
    my 
    head 
    ‘round 

    Looking 
    for 
    somewhere 
    to 
    go, 

    a place 
    to lay 
    my head 
    down 

    Check 
    into 
    a small 
    hotel 
    and there 

    before 
    my 
    eyes 

    Stood 
    a man 
    with 
    a trumpet 
    in 
    his hand 

    Trying 
    to 
    make 
    the people 
    understand, 

    he 
    stops 
    and 
    sigh
    and 
    says 

    Verse 2
    "Half 
    chance 

    Give the 
    singers 
    half 
    a chance 
    and they'll 

    sing 
    and 
    dance 
    through 
    the night 

    Lend 
    an 
    ear, 
    please 

    And the 
    band 
    will play 
    the 
    things 

    you'll want 
    to 
    hear 

    There's 
    no 
    doubt 

    That before 
    tonight 
    is 
    over 
    you'll scream 

    and 
    shout 
    ‘Hip hooray!' 

    In the 
    meantime 

    There 
    is only 
    one 
    more 
    thing 
    I'd 

    like 
    to 
    say" 

    Verse 3
    Spoke about 
    the well- 
    known 

    faces 
    appear
    ing 
    in 
    the show 

    Star 
    attraction 
    of 
    the evening 
    would 

    be 
    Billy 
    with 
    his big 
    ban
    jo 

    But 
    first 
    of all, 

    a sweet 
    little 
    lady 
    who'd have 
    us all 
    screamin' 
    for more 

    Lily, 
    the 
    striptease queen 
    with the 
    biggest 

    pair 
    you've 
    ever 
    seen. 


    Verse 4
    Down 
    and 
    down 

    Went 
    her long 
    black 
    stockings 
    and, as 
    they 
    hit 
    the 
    ground, 

    the boys 
    went 
    mad 

    Everyone 
    agreed 

    That it 
    was 
    the greatest 
    time 
    they'd 

    ever 
    had 

    On 
    and 
    on 

    Now the 
    night 
    was nearly 
    over 
    ex

    cept 
    for 
    Billy 
    and his 
    big 
    ban
    jo 

    Billy 
    sang 
    a song 
    called 
    ‘The 

    Truckdriver Man' 

    And we 
    joined 
    in 
    for 
    a chorus 
    or two 
    and 
    then 
    I went 
    to bed.

    • 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.
