    G

    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.
    D

    Now, I know that you can find
    G

    that hard to believe here.

    I hear your derisory snorts.

    Trust me, it actually happened.

    Well, maybe a few other places,
    D
    G

    but all I got out of it was a song.
    C
    G

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

    and the dollar is in sorry shape tonight.

    What the dollar used to get us now

    B

    E

    Worked it down to the last fraction

    where they can go.

    They won't have to scream and holler,

    G
    D

    they'll be paid to the last dollar
    A

    Where the endless streams of money
    D

    seem to flow
    G
    C

    I'll be glad to tell them all
    G

    what they must do

    It's a matter of a simple form or two

    • 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.
