Alright

Dm
G

That's what you call a new song
Am

When I'm gonna stand up here and read

the son of a bitch while I'm doing it
Dm
G

We figured that this is a good

place to do this song
Cm
Am

It's only been performed once before and that was the,
G
Am
Dsus4

the evening after it was actually written in uh, Boston
G

I'll tell you the story of this song
Am

This is called CREATIVE DEVIATION FROM

THE NORMAL PART OF THE PROGRAM
G
Am

Simply because you trust the audience's good taste so much that you
G

know that even if the band fucks up they'll go along with it

Alright
Am
D
G

Because, ladies and gentlemen, this song has an important message and I believe this
Am
G
Am

message has to be brought to the people of this great metropolitan area
G

Alright, now check this out
Am

How many of you people feel that ROCK has
G
Am

gotten entirely TOO PREPOSTEROUS?
G

I see that you're not all convinced
Am

Some of you believe that ROCK is REAL
G

I can see that there was probably about 20 percent
Am

of the audience has had it up to here
G

And the rest of you people
Am

still believe in that shit
G

Okay, well this is dedicated to the rest of you people
Am

that still believe in that shit
C
G
Am

Now check this out: How d— how do you rationalize the
G
Am
G

appearance of an album entitled I'm In You?
Am

I mean, wha- -
Dm
G

What, what is that?
Am
Dm
G

Is that guy kidding? (What, I gotta

kiss you again?)
Am
G

Okay. Really, look,
Am

all kidding aside, folks
G

Let's think about the world of rock,
Am

just for a moment
G

Some of you already have those cute little shirts
Am
G

on that say "disco sucks," right?
Am

That's not all that sucks
G

Course Warner Brothers sucks,
Am
G
Am

but besides Warner Brothers there are other things about this business that really suck
G
Am

One of 'em is the way in which the subject of LOVE is dealt
G
Am

with in the lyrics of various 'serious rock artists,'
G

The intensive- care contingent
Am

of the rock world
G
Am

These people, these people are FUCKED UP, I mean,
G

they're really FUCKED UP
Am

Because see, love isn't the way they're telling you about it,
G

you know, they're telling you wrong
Am
G
Am

I'm gonna tell you right, you see

Now all of the ladies in the audience,
G

you get to have fantasy time
Am

This is female fantasy hour
G

Okay?
Am

You're a teen- age girl, right?
G

You have abducted the succulent
Am

popstar of your choice, right?
G
Am
G

You have taken the aforementioned popstar, who is really cute and Aryan and eats a lot of crumpets,
Am

back to your teen- age room
G

That's right, spindle twice
Am

You have taken this turkey back to your room,
G

you have laid on your teen- age bed
Am

You have put your teen- age legs up in the air,
G

you have actually taken your own teen- age pants off
Am

You have the teen- age red bulb on,

right next to the bed
G

The curtains are drawn,

it's dark, it's midnight
Am

You put on a Phoebe Snow record,
G

you're really relaxing
Am

Tears come to your eyes,
G

you are sensitive, you are in love
Am

The popstar of your choice takes off his pants and climbs on top of you,
G
Am

and the next thing you know you hear this little voice in your ear and it says
G

I'M IN YOU!"

  • 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.
