    It's going 
    to be difficult 
    for a 
    audience to 
    accept this, 


    but we have 
    this automobile 

    company 
    at 
    home, 

    the 
    Chrysler 
    Motor Company, 

    which 
    through 
    the manufacture 

    of 
    crummy cars 

    that nobody 
    wants 

    and 
    other managerial 
    goodies 

    drove 
    itself 
    onto 
    the 
    shoals 

    of bankruptcy. 

    Now 
    I was always 
    raised in 
    civics 
    class 

    to 
    understand 
    that when you went 
    bankrupt, 


    you went 
    bankrupt. 

    That's the end of 
    the road. 

    You join 
    the great 
    line 

    of 
    buggy 
    whip 
    manufacturers 

    into 
    the 
    annals of 
    history there. 

    Incredibly, 
    that's 
    not what 
    happened. 

    The 
    president 
    of 
    Chrysler, 

    man 
    named Lee 
    Iacocca, 

    went down 
    to Washington 

    and 
    conned 
    Congress 

    out of millions 
    of dollars 

    of 
    loan 
    guarantees 
    of federal 
    money, 

    my 
    money, 

    and pumped 
    it all 
    into 
    this company 

    to 
    keep 
    it in business. 

    Now, I 
    know that 
    you 
    can find 

    that hard 
    to believe 
    here. 

    hear your 
    derisory 
    snorts. 

    Trust 
    me, 
    it actually 
    happened. 

    Well, 
    maybe a 
    few other 
    places, 

    but 
    all 
    I got 
    out of 
    it was 
    song. 

    Oh, 
    the 
    price 
    of 
    gold 
    is 
    rising 
    out 
    of 
    sight, 

    and 
    the 
    dollar 
    is 
    in 
    sorry 
    shape 
    to
    night. 

    What 
    the 
    dollar 
    used 
    to 
    get 
    us 
    now 

    won't 
    get 
    ahead 
    of 
    lettuce. 

    No, 
    the 
    economic 
    forecast 

    But 
    amidst 
    the 
    clouds 
    spot 
    a shining 
    ray 

    begin 
    to 
    glimpse 
    new 
    and 
    better 
    way 

    I've 
    de
    vised 
    plan 
    of 
    action 

    Worked 
    it 
    down 
    to 
    the last 
    frac
    tion 

    And 
    I'm 
    going 
    into 
    ac
    tion 
    here 
    today 

    am 
    chan
    ging 
    my 
    name 
    to 
    Chrysler 

    am 
    going 
    down 
    to 
    Washington, 
    .C. 

    will tell 
    some 
    power 
    broker 

    I'm 
    what 
    you 
    did 
    for 
    Iacocca 

    would 
    be 
    per
    fectly 
    acceptable 
    to 
    me. 

    am 
    changing 
    my 
    name 
    to 
    Chrysler, 

    am leav
    ing 
    for 
    that 

    great 
    re
    ceiving 
    line. 

    And 
    when 
    they 
    hand 
    a million 
    grand 
    out, 

    I'll 
    be 
    standing 
    with 
    my 
    hand 
    out, 

    yes 
    sir, 
    I'll 
    get 
    mine. 

    When my 
    creditors 
    come 

    scream
    ing 
    for 
    their 
    dough, 

    I'll 
    be proud 
    to 
    tell 
    them all 

    where they 
    can 
    go. 

    They 
    won't 
    have 
    to scream 
    and 
    holler, 


    they'll 
    be 
    paid 
    to 
    the last 
    dollar 

    Where 
    the 
    end
    less 
    streams 
    of 
    money 

    seem 
    to 
    flow 

    I'll 
    be glad 
    to 
    tell them 
    all 

    what 
    they 
    must 
    do 

    It's 
    matter 
    of 
    simple 
    form 
    or 
    two 

    It's 
    not 
    just 
    remuneration, 

    it's 
    liberal 
    education 

    Aren't 
    you kinda 
    glad 

    that 
    I'm 
    into 
    it

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
