    "Dear God, you made many,
    Am
    E
    Am

    Gm
    C
    E

    many poor people.

    I realize, of course,
    Am

    that it's no shame to be poor.
    F
    C

    But it's no great honor either!
    G
    C

    So, what would have been so terrible if
    E

    I had a small fortune?"
    Verse 2
    Am

    If I were a rich man,

    Ya ha

    deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.

    All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.

    If I were a wealthy man.
    D

    I wouldn't have to work hard.

    Ya ha

    deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.

    If I were a biddy biddy rich,

    Yidle- diddle- didle- didle man.
    Verse 3
    D

    I'd build a big tall house

    with rooms by the dozen,

    Right in the middle of the town.
    G

    A fine tin roof with real wooden

    floors below.

    There would be one long

    staircase just going up,
    C
    F

    And one even longer coming down,
    Gm
    C

    And one more leading nowhere,
    E

    just for show.
    Verse 4
    Am

    I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys

    and geese and ducks
    F
    Cdim
    C

    For the town to see and hear.
    Gm
    C

    And each loud "cheep" and "swaqwk" and
    E

    "honk" and "quack"
    Am

    Would land like a trumpet on the ear,
    F
    Am
    D

    As if to say "Here lives a
    Am
    C
    D

    wealthy man."
    Verse 5

    If I were a rich man, Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
    D



    All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.
    G

    If I were a wealthy man.

    I wouldn't have to work hard.
    C

    Ya ha

    deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.
    F
    Gm

    If I were a biddy biddy rich,
    C

    Yidle- diddle- didle- didleman.
    Verse 6
    E

    I see my wife, my Golde,

    looking like a rich man's wife
    Am
    E

    With a proper double- chin.
    Am

    Supervising meals to her heart's delight.
    F

    I see her putting on airs and

    strutting like a peacock.
    Gm

    Oy, what a happy mood
    C

    she's in.
    E

    Screaming at the servants,

    day and night.
    Verse 7
    Am

    The most important men in town would
    F

    come to fawn on me!
    Cdim

    They would ask me to
    C
    Gm

    advise them,
    C
    E

    Like a Solomon the Wise.
    Am

    "If you please, Reb Tevye..."
    D

    "Pardon me, Reb Tevye..."

    Posing problems that would cross
    C

    a rabbi's eyes!
    D

    And it won't make one bit of difference
    G
    D
    G

    if i answer right or wrong.
    C

    When you're rich,
    F

    they think you really know!
    Verse 8
    Gm
    C

    If I were rich,
    E

    I'd have the time that I lack
    Am
    E
    Am

    To sit in the synagogue and pray.

    And maybe have a seat by
    E
    Am

    the East ern wall.
    C
    Am

    And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men,
    C
    F

    several hours every day.

    That would be the sweetest thing of all.
    Verse 9
    F

    If I were a rich man,

    Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.


    All day long I'd biddy biddy bum.

    If I were a wealthy man.

    I wouldn't have to work hard.

    Ya ha

    deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.

    If I were a biddy biddy rich,

    Yidle- diddle- didle- didle man.

    • 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.
