ment with Ziegfield.

Ziegfield?

On a Broadway in 43rd.

Some corner.
F

You know, Ziegfeld said,
C

I said, you know who I am?

What happened?

He said, who I am?

Yeah. I said nothing.

I was cornered. Cornered?

But it makes no difference.

But I start out the same.

Why not, Jim?

Why, this is what I wish to convey.
G

What is it, Jimmy?
C

Now you know darn well I

can do without Broadway. But?
D

But can Broadway do without me?

No.
C

Why, Herald Square, Times Square,

Columbus Circle, 96.

Say, where am I?

They must have found out at Times Square


that I passed my destination.

Why?
F
C

They sent messengers all over

to get me to head a celebration.
C

I get it.

You know, as I got off the express,


some yokel pushes

me into a local.

What happened?
F

The crowd's seen a mistake.

C

Pulled the emergency brake and shouted,


Why, there's Jimmy that

well -dressed man.

So you know darn well, I can do without Broadway.

What?

What can Broadway do without me?

No.

Say, fellas, you remember

when Eddie Leonard got sick?


Certainly. I'll never forget

the day.

Neither will I.

I'm sitting home when in comes another

telegram which read...

The only one who can replace
C

Eddie Leonard is you.

You! I went, and when I went,

I went.

How I went. He's a wimp, sir.

Why, the applause was definite

as I started crooning.

It was, yes, sir.

That's my baby. No, sir.

I don't mean maybe.

No, no.

That's not the song.

What was it, Jimmy?

Boy, what was it?

For I love you. I love you. Ah.

Ah, quack, quack, quack.

Stop.

Why, let it get swell.

All be thanks me. I'm not home ten

minutes.

When in comes another telegram which read,


What's it read?
F

Johnson topples over.
C

Please take his place.

Write your own ticket, Lee and James.

Sure,

Well, I steps out on that stage,

And on one knee, One knee.


Not on both knees.
G

No. I gazintas, I gazintas,
C

Rock -a -bye.

Bye, baby.

Sing it, Jimmy Boy.
G

I know which one it is.
C
F
C

I know which one it is.

I know which Boy.

Get on your knees.

He sings on one knee.

Yes, and as I'm brushing off that

knee backstage,

Schubert says, Jimmy,

put in both knees.

And? And Jolson goes.

Take it easy, Jimmy boy,

please take it easy.

But being an old NBA man,

artist for artist.
G

Artist for artist.
C

I know darn well I

can do without Broadway.

Oh.

But can Broadway do without me?

No, no.

Hey, it's the way to a loud music!

  • 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.
