Though I can retain

any old refrain,

C

lyrics leave me flat somehow
A

Like a song that I'm perplexed by,
C

Am

vexed by now

Just a little tune I heard in a show,

so easy to croon.

Now how does it go?

Je l 'ai, je l 'ou, je...

Then he took me out to dine

I can't think of the name,

An d we had,

Something French with a filter pitch.
G
C
F

I never can think of the words.

And then we took a walk,

just to have a little talk.

Funny, I can't remember

where it was we went.
Bb

Oh yes, yes, yes, we reached a park,

and when we got to where it was dark,
F

he put his hand here,
D
Gm

and he whispered in my ear,
C
F

Of course, I didn't get what he said,
D
Gm

but what he meant, I saw.
Eb
D

And did I give that Frenchman
G

a sock in the jaw?
C
F

Then he said something about bully -foo,
D

bully -foo,

whatever he bullied for, he
Gm

didn't get.
G
C
F

Cause I never could think of a verse.

  • 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.
