    • Verse 1
    Did you 
    ever notice 
    that some people 
    don't even think, 

    let 
    alone act 
    like other people? 

    Now, 
    you take 

    Tarzan. 

    Did you know that 

    Tarzan ain't even married 
    to 

    Jane? 

    Well, 
    he ain't. 
    I 
    can see that poor 
    girl 
    now squinting 

    her eyes 
    and looking 
    up some 
    big tree and 
    saying, 

    Tarzan, 

    honey, let's get married 
    this afternoon. 

    And I can 
    see 
    old 

    Tarzan 
    looking down 
    at her saying, 

    Jane, 
    darling, I'd 
    love to, 

    but me 
    and 

    Cheetah's busy 
    busting up 

    coconut
    s for supper
    . 

    Did 
    you know 

    Tarzan ain't 
    never paid no income 

    tax? 

    Well, he ain't. 

    I 
    can see that poor girl 
    now saying, 

    Tarzan, you 
    better pay your income 

    tax 

    or they gonna come 
    and get you. 

    An
    d old 

    Tarzan is standing 

    right up there in that tree 

    and yell, 
    let them come, 

    Jane, darling. 

    and me and 

    Cheeto will chuck 
    them with these here 

    coconut
    s. 

    Did you 
    know 

    Tarzan ain't 
    even been vaccinated 

    for smallpox? 

    I 
    can just hear 

    Jane 
    saying now, 

    Tarzan, 
    come on down 
    here 

    and get vaccinated 
    for smallpox. 

    And old 

    Tarzan 
    would say, 
    phooey 
    on you, 

    Jane. 

    Did 
    you know 

    Tarzan can
    't read? 

    Well, 
    he can't. 

    Now 
    I can just hear 

    Jane 
    saying, 
    ha, ha, ha, 

    Tarzan, 

    you can't 
    read. 

    And 
    old 

    Tarzan would 
    just stand right 

    up there in that tree 

    with 
    a big 
    grin on 
    his face and 
    say, 

    hit 
    her with a 
    coconut, 
    chee
    tah. 


    I 
    had 
    a 
    friend 
    named 

    Bill 

    He 
    lived 
    over 
    there 
    on 
    that 
    big 
    hill 

    I 
    went 
    to 
    see him 
    yesterday 

    Then 
    I 
    heard 
    someone 
    say 

    You're 
    just 
    in 
    time 
    to 
    be 
    too 
    late 

    We 
    shot 

    Bill 
    this 
    morning 

    He 
    read 
    some 
    books we 
    didn't 
    appreciate 

    So 
    we 
    shot 

    Bill 
    this 
    mornin' 

    You 
    missed the 
    crowd 
    all 
    filled 
    with 
    hate 

    We 
    burned 
    his house 
    last 
    night 
    at eight 

    Ain't 
    you 
    sorry 
    that 
    you're 
    late 

    We 
    shot 

    Bill 
    this 
    mornin' 


    I 
    had 
    a friend 
    named 

    Sam. 

    Sam 
    was 
    a 
    mighty 
    man. 

    I 
    went 
    to 
    see 
    him yesterday. 

    Then 
    I 
    heard 
    someone 
    say, 

    You're 
    just 
    in 
    time 
    to 
    be 
    too 
    late 

    We 
    hung 

    Sam 
    this 
    morning 

    He 
    had 
    ideas 
    he 
    thought 
    were 
    great 

    We 
    hung 

    Sam 
    this 
    morning 

    He 
    said 
    all men 
    should 
    be 
    free 

    But 
    we know 
    this 
    can 
    never 
    be 

    An
    d 
    so we 
    hung him 
    to 
    a 
    tree 

    We 
    hung 

    Sam 
    this 
    mornin'

      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

      "

      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 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.
