    A

    reservation counter lady
    D
    G
    C

    Is a very special friend of mine
    G
    C

    When I asked her in the morning
    A

    if my flight was ready
    D
    G

    She assured me it was right on time
    E

    Oh, the taxi to the airport
    Am

    cost me seven or eight
    D
    G

    And the boarder got another buck or two
    C

    When some joker on the

    microphone said,
    E
    A
    D

    Sorry , but we've got
    G

    a little bad news for you.
    C

    It's getting cloudy up in Boston,
    G

    Montreal is socked and tight,

    Philadelphia's out on strike,

    Oh, the Airline Passenger
    A

    Relations representative
    D
    G
    C

    was very sympathetic to me.
    G
    C

    Just as soon as we completely
    A

    overhaul your astroliner,
    D

    you'll be airborne just as
    G

    quick as can be.
    E

    Then of course we'll need a stewardess,
    Am

    but nev er you mind,
    D
    G

    we'll have one trained in plenty of time.
    C

    Won't you settle in our Astro
    Am
    A

    Lounge in Com fort
    D
    G

    We'll be leaving at a quarter of nine
    C

    But the Astro Lounge was crowded

    and the coffee shop was crammed

    The Coke machine was broken

    and they closed the hot dog stand

    I couldn't find a magazine,
    F
    B

    they broke the cigarette machine
    C

    The Shoeshine boy was sleeping
    G
    C

    and my radio was jammed
    G
    C
    G
    C

    Oh, I carefully examined
    A

    every corner of the building
    D
    G
    C

    for the next 14 hours or so
    G
    C

    And the bulletins kept coming

    C
    A

    You'll be leaving in a minute, providing
    D

    This little bit of nasty weather

    C

    For it's getting cloudy up in Boston
    G

    and it's snowing up in Maine

    Los Angeles is hopeless
    C

    and Chicago's getting rain

    You've had a couple dirty days,
    F
    B

    but your ticket's good for thirty days

    • 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.”
