    G
    C

    I was out for a stroll,

    just a- walking a pup
    F

    Checking the scene,

    seeing what was up
    G

    I wasn't bothering nobody,
    C
    G

    I was easing on down the road
    C

    Just behind me come a piddy piddy pat
    F

    I said "Good Lord,

    tell me what was that"
    G

    I turned and looked and my

    brain took an overload
    C
    Verse 2
    E

    Down the trail and around the farm
    Am

    Come a thousand people

    with their underwear on
    D

    Picking 'em up,
    G

    laying 'em down like mad
    C

    Puffing and groaning, their faces all red
    F

    Eyes rolled back in their sweaty heads
    G

    I never saw so many people look so bad
    C
    Verse 3

    Crying "Come on,

    C
    G
    C

    The sound was strictly rolling thunder
    F

    My dog took off with his tail tucked under
    G

    I stood at the side of the road
    C
    G

    and watched 'em pass
    C

    Their shirts were nicely understated
    F

    They all looked terribly dedicated
    G

    Some looked strong and some
    C

    looked low on gas
    Verse 5
    E

    Some were built like land- locked whales
    Am

    Some wore shorts from
    D

    Bloomingdales

    Some had legs that looked
    G

    like six feet long
    C

    They clearly come to do or die
    F

    And as that herd went thundering by
    G

    So help me folks,

    they all broke into song
    C
    Verse 6

    F

    They said, "Come on,

    Harry! Come on, Sue

    Verse 7
    G

    C

    I knew that they'd get fit or bust
    F

    I knew by the size of the cloud of dust
    G

    I knew by the sound of the
    C
    G

    blisters going "crack"
    C

    I thought I'd head back to the farm
    F

    When suddenly someone

    snagged my arm
    G

    And there I was in the
    C

    middle of the seething pack
    Verse 8
    E

    I was sweating like a fool; I

    was out of breath
    Am

    I was trying to keep from

    getting tramped to death
    D
    G

    I must have been an edifying sight to see
    C

    I cried, "You folks can jeer and scoff
    F

    But my legs are broken; they're

    falling off"
    G

    And by now you know what

    they turned and said to me

    • 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.
