    Oh, 
    the airline 
    ticket 

    reserva
    tion 
    counter lady 

    Is 
    a 
    very special 
    friend 
    of mine 

    When 
    I 
    asked her 
    in the 
    morning 

    if my 
    flight 
    was 
    ready 

    She 
    assured 
    me 
    it was 
    right 
    on 
    time 

    Oh, 
    the 
    tax
    i to 
    the 
    airport 

    cost me 
    seven 
    or eight 

    And 
    the 
    boarder 
    got another 
    buck 
    or 
    two 

    When 
    some 
    joker 
    on the 

    microphone 
    said, 

    Sorry
    , 
    but 
    we've 
    got 

    a little 
    bad 
    news 
    for 
    you. 

    It's 
    get
    ting cloudy 
    up in 
    Boston, 

    Montreal 
    is 
    socked 
    and tight, 

    Washington 
    is 
    closed for 
    Christmas, 


    Philadelphi
    a's 
    out on strike, 

    Minnesota's 
    up to 
    here in 
    snow, 

    And 
    Tulsa's 
    closed to
    night, 

    you know. 

    Please be 
    pa
    tient 
    five more 
    minutes, 


    Hope you 
    have a 
    pleasant flight. 

    Oh, 
    the 
    Airline 
    Passenger 

    Rela
    tions 
    representative 

    was 
    very 
    sympathetic 
    to 
    me. 

    Just 
    as 
    soon as 
    we completely 

    overhaul 
    your 
    astroliner, 

    you'll be 
    air
    borne 
    just as 

    quick as 
    can 
    be. 

    Then of 
    course we'll 
    need a 
    stewardess, 

    but 
    nev
    er 
    you mind, 

    we'll 
    have one 
    trained in 
    plenty 
    of 
    time. 

    Won't 
    you 
    settle in 
    our Astro 

    Lounge 
    in 
    Com
    fort 

    We'll 
    be 
    leav
    ing 
    at a 
    quarter of 
    nine 

    But 
    the 
    Astro 
    Lounge was 
    crowded 

    and 
    the 
    cof
    fee shop 
    was 
    crammed 

    The 
    Coke machine 
    was 
    broken 

    and 
    they 
    closed the 
    hot dog 
    stand 

    I 
    couldn't 
    find a 
    magazine, 

    they 
    broke the 
    cigarette 
    machine 

    The 
    Shoe
    shine 
    boy was 
    sleeping 

    and 
    my 
    radio 
    was 
    jammed 

    Oh, 
    I 
    care
    fully 
    examined 

    every 
    corner 
    of the 
    building 

    for the 
    next 14 
    hours 
    or 
    so 

    An
    d 
    the 
    bulletins 
    kept 
    coming 

    from the 
    reservation 
    counter 

    Yes, 
    sir
    ree, we're 
    getting 
    ready to 
    go 

    For 
    we're 
    fly
    ing 
    in another 
    plane 

    from 
    Lon
    don, 
    you see 

    Any 
    minute 
    now 
    that 
    plane 

    should ap
    pear 

    You'll 
    be 
    leav
    ing in 
    a minute, 
    providing 

    This 
    little 
    bit of 
    nasty weather 

    should 
    clear 

    For it's 
    getting cloudy 
    up in 
    Boston 

    and it's 
    snow
    ing 
    up in Maine 

    Los 
    Angeles 
    is 
    hopeless 

    and Chica
    go's 
    getting rain 

    You've 
    had a 
    couple 
    dirty days, 

    but 
    your ticket's 
    good 
    for 
    thirty 
    days 

    And 
    when 
    the runway 
    is completed,

    to board your 
    plane?

      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

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
