Verse 1
Em

Oh, it's another exciting
Bm
Em

day out in the woods.

I have what you might call a really

exciting day planned.

About 11 o 'clock I'm going to go

and run to a big tree,

and then I'll take a nap and

then I'll run to a rock.

It's a real big gray rock

and then I'll probably take a rest over
Bm

there by the rock and then
B
D

I'll... I don't know
Em

what I'm gonna do.
D
Em

I'm a little bored.

Now
Bm

I once, uh, was peering

through a window at a lodge,

Em

happened to watch

Jacques

Cousteau on

TV.
D

and the moose was bored,
Em
D

just walking around.

Hi,

Mr.

Bm

He was a big oily moose,

he just wearing a frown.

Noah wasn't too happy that day.

Then one day he heard the sound

of a little girl whose eyes were brown.
F#

That girl was lost,
Em
D
F#
B
D

Herman came over to her.
Em

But deeper she just looked so upset,
Bm
B
D
Em

I didn't know what else to do.

And

Herman said, as gently as he could,
C#m

don't be afraid little girl.
F#

I might be a big fat moose, but I'm nice.
Em

And the girl stopped crying and

Herman delicately lifted her

upon his furry back,

making sure not to hit her in the head
B

by accident with his antlers.
D
Bm
Em
Bm

Herman the big brown moose.
D
Em

Herman the big whitey moose.
D

Herman the moose asked the girl

if she knew her address.

child ought to know.
Bm
D

The girl stated confidently,
Em

It's 14

Street, I guess.
A

Herman had been there before
G
Dm

He took that brown eyed girl to a door

Em

Would you like to come in for
C#m

D
Em

Herman

Oh
Bm

And I'm really working hard to watch my weight
F#

Em
Bm
D

Herb and the moose walk

Em

trying to do a mitzvah
Bm
D

His boredom level hov
Em
Bm

ering right around zero

Or somewhere thereabouts

  • 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.
