    • Verse 1
    This 
    is a 
    song 
    that 
    was 
    written by 
    one 
    of the 

    most 
    beautiful 
    people 
    I've 
    ever 
    met, 

    about 
    the man 
    with 
    the long 

    chain 
    on. 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 


    One 
    night 
    as 
    I 
    lay 
    on 
    my 
    pillow 

    Moon
    light 
    as 
    bright 
    as 
    the 
    dawn 

    I 
    saw 
    a 

    man 
    come 
    a 
    -walkin' 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 

    I 
    heard 
    his 
    chains 
    a 

    -clack
    in' 

    They 
    made 
    a 
    mournin' 

    for 
    a 
    song 

    Weldin' 
    around 
    his 
    body, 

    draggin' 
    along 
    the 
    ground 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on, 

    he 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 


    He 
    stood 
    beside 
    my 
    window 

    He 
    looked 
    at 
    me 
    an
    d 
    he 
    said 

    I 
    am 
    so 
    tired 
    and 
    hungry, 

    give 
    me 
    a 
    bite 
    of 
    your 
    bread 

    He 
    did
    n't 
    look 
    like 
    a 
    robber, 

    he 
    didn't 
    look 
    like 
    a 
    thief 

    His 
    voice 
    was 
    as 
    soft 

    as 
    the 
    moonlight 

    A 
    face 
    full 
    of 
    sorrow 
    and 
    grief 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    tail 


    I 
    went 
    into 
    my 
    kit
    chen 

    Fetched 
    him 
    a 
    bowl 
    full 
    of 
    meat 

    A 
    drink 
    and 
    a 
    pan 
    of 
    cold 
    biscuits, 

    that's 
    what 
    I 
    gave 
    him 
    to 
    eat. 

    Though 
    he 
    was 
    tired 
    and 
    hungry, 

    a 
    bright 
    light 
    came 
    over 
    his 
    face. 

    He 
    bowed 
    his 

    head 
    in 
    the 
    moonlight 

    He 
    said 
    a 
    beauti
    ful 
    grace 

    But 
    he 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 


    I've 
    got 
    my 
    hammer 
    and 
    chisel 

    All 
    thought 
    to 
    set 
    him 
    free 

    He 
    looked 
    at 
    me 
    and 
    said 
    softly, 

    I 
    guess 
    we 
    had 
    best 
    let 
    it 
    be 

    When 
    he 
    had 
    finished 
    his 
    supper, 

    he 
    thanked 
    me 
    again 
    and 
    again 

    Though 
    it's 
    been 
    years 
    since 
    I 
    saw 
    him 

    Still 
    hear 
    him 
    draggin' 
    his 
    chain 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 


    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on, 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chain 
    on, 

    He 
    had 
    a 
    long 
    chin 
    on.

      "

      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.

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
