Jimmy Gray chords by

N/A
Verse 1
G

It was in the month of sweet July
C
G

and a courtship had just begun.
C

They was both eighteen years old,
A
D

but he was a little too young.
G
C

For whenever she'd ask him to do a little job,

G

he was always heard to say,
C

Well, I wouldn't know anything about that,

D
G

better go and ask Jimmy Gray.

I have a field of early corn,
C
G

it's waiting to be mown.
C

Love, you come around with your scythe
A
D

and help me to mow it down?
G

He said, my scythe is rusty,
C
G

too blunt for corn or hay.

For a mowing machine,
C

the best to be seen
D
G

belongs to Jimmy Gray.

I have a little sports car,
C
G

but it drives me round the bend.
C

Would you come and fit me a new drive shaft,
A
D

or maybe some new big ends?
G

He says, if you'll take my advice,
C

you'll phone up the AA.
G
C

But if you want a bang -up job,
D
G

just go and ask Jimmy Gray.

I have a lovely feather bed,
C
G

it's big enough for two.

Nice and wide and strong beside,
A
D

but the frame is split in two.
G

He says my drill needs sharpening
C
G

and there may be some delay.
C

She turned around and went to the phone
D
G

and called up Jimmy Gray.

He's fixed her bed,

he's mowed her field
C
G

and ground her corn to flour.

Fit a new drive shaft,
C

and off they went at a
A
D

hundred miles an hour.
G

So fellas, if ever a girl should ask,
C
G

would you do a little job today?
C

Just grab your tools and run like a hare,

D
G

be there before Jimmy Gray.

  • 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.
