Verse 1
D
A friend of mine had some
fine photographs he took,
C
D
he kept them in the book,
C
D
and he let me take a look.
They were scenes of some queens
down in Borneo.
Eb
First I glanced, then I danced,
D
Eb
D
then I hollered, oh, I wrinkled,
I was born in Borneo.
Em
If half those photographs are really so.
D
Say, can't you picture me
beneath the pepper tree?
C
I'd be so peppery
D
Eb
with all those wild women.
D
There's very little clothing for me, oh.
Eb
D
And no knife used to hurt your corneal.
Am
D
Oh, give a girl a ring down there
when you propose.
Then she takes the ring
C
D
and puts it through her nose.
I've been wasting half my life, I know.
I wish that I was born in Borneo.
Do you know that in Borneo
you can buy a wife for 25 cents?
Think of it, buying a wife a... well, say,
you know, a good wife is worth a quarter.
Imagine what a fella can do
with 6 .75 down there, why,
he can start a harem of his own.
And from what I understand,
in Borneo,
you know what the girls wear for dresses?
What do you think they wear
for dresses?
Leaves.
Just plain, ordinary leaves.
Of course, it's all right in the summertime,
but imagine around October
and November,
when the leaves begin to,
oh, behave, behave.
I wish that I was born in Borneo.
Em
If half those photographs are really so.
D
Say, can you picture me
beneath the rubber tree?
C
What a rubberneck I'd be.
D
With all those wild women,
there's very little clothing, Borneo.
And don't I choose to hurt your cornea,
oh, oh, oh, gee, oh, gee,
C#
D
that's their talk and al ways was.
It means something,
D
but it don't mean what you think it does.
I've been wasting half my life, I know.
Em
D
I wish that I was born in Borneo.

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

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
