    Verse 1
    There 
    are 
    few 
    who 
    de
    ny 

    At 
    what 
    do, 
    am 
    the 
    best 

    For 
    my 
    talents 
    are 
    re
    nowned 
    far 
    and 
    wide 

    When 
    it 
    comes 
    to 
    sur
    pris
    es 

    in 
    the 
    moonlit 
    night 

    ex
    cel 
    without 
    ever 
    even 
    trying 

    With 
    the 
    slightest 
    little 
    effort 

    of 
    my 
    ghost-like 
    charms 

    have 
    seen 
    grown 
    men 
    give 
    out 
    shriek 

    With 
    wave 
    of 
    my 
    hand 

    and 
    well-placed 
    moan 

    have 
    swept 
    the 
    very 
    bravest 
    off 
    their 
    feet 

    Pre-chorus 1
    Yet, 
    year 
    after 
    year, 
    it's 
    the 
    same 
    rou
    tine 

    And 
    grow 
    so 
    weary 
    of 
    the 
    sound 
    of 
    screams 

    And 
    I, 
    Jack, 
    the 
    Pump
    kin 
    King 

    Have 
    grown 
    so 
    tired 
    of 
    the 
    same 
    old 
    thing 

    Chorus 1
    Oh, 
    some
    where 
    deep 

    in
    side 
    of 
    these 
    bones 

    An 
    empti
    ness 
    be
    gan 
    to 
    grow 

    There's 
    some
    thing 
    out 
    there 

    far 
    from 
    my 
    home 

    longing 
    that 
    I've 
    never 
    known 

    Verse 2
    I'm 
    the 
    master 
    of 
    fright 

    and 
    demon 
    of 
    light 

    And 
    I'll 
    scare 
    you 
    right 
    out 
    of 
    your 
    pants 

    To 
    guy 
    in 
    Ken
    tucky, 
    I'm 
    Mister 
    Un
    lucky 

    And 
    I'm 
    known 

    throughout 
    England 
    and 
    France 

    And 
    since 
    am 
    dead, 
    can 
    take 
    off 
    my 
    head 

    To 
    re
    cite 
    Shakespearean 
    quo
    tations 

    No 
    animal 
    nor 
    man 
    can 
    scream 
    like 
    can 

    With 
    the 
    fury 
    of 
    my 
    re- 
    ci- 
    tations 

    Pre-chorus 2
    But 
    who 
    here 
    would 
    ever 
    under
    stand 

    That 
    the 
    Pumpkin 
    King 
    with 
    the 
    skeleton 
    grin 

    Would 
    tire 
    of 
    his 
    crown? 

    If 
    they 
    only 
    under
    stood 

    He 
    would 
    give 
    it 
    all 
    up 
    if 
    he 
    on
    ly 
    could 

    Chorus 2
    Oh, 
    there's 
    an 
    empty 
    place 
    in 
    my 
    bones 

    That 
    calls 
    out 
    for 
    some 
    thing 
    un
    known 

    The 
    fame 
    and 
    praise, 

    come 
    year 
    after 
    year 

    Does 
    nothing 
    for 
    these 
    empty 
    tears

    • 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.
