    tree 

    Hanging

    beneath 
    a tree 

    And

    and 

    reversed 
    the

    Ol' 
    gorilla 
    heard 
    'em 

    talking 
    in 
    the 
    lion's 
    den 

    But

    him 
    ten 
    bucks 

    the elephant 
    wins 

    Jo 
    Jo 
    yelled 
    at 
    Leo, 
    Go 
    on, 
    knock 
    him 
    down 

    He 
    don't

    pounds 

    Leo 
    Verse 6
    left 
    wailin' 
    with 
    left 
    upper cut 

    The 
    elephant 
    took 
    his 
    snoot 

    and 
    grabbed 
    coconut 

    Leo 
    fired 
    beautiful 
    short 
    back 
    cross 

    That's 
    when 
    the 
    coconut 

    Verse 7
    landed 
    up 
    against 
    his 
    jaw 


    Leo 
    grew 
    tired, 
    but 
    he 
    wouldn't 
    give 
    in 

    The 
    elephant 
    all 
    loose, 
    beat 
    his 
    jawbone 
    in 

    The 
    buzzard 
    said, 

    they 
    fought 
    furious 
    all 
    day 

    Verse 8
    He 
    couldn't 
    understand 
    how 
    Leo 
    got 
    away 


    Jo 
    Jo 
    runnin' 
    everywhere, 

    spreadin' 
    the news 

    To 
    the zebras 
    and 
    the 

    leopards 
    and 
    the 
    kangaroos 

    hoot 
    owl 
    reported 
    everything 
    he saw 

    Had 
    his 
    eyes 
    wide 
    open, 

    they 
    called 
    it 
    draw 

    Verse 9
    Leo 
    limping 
    back 
    with his 
    jawbone 
    bruised 

    Jo 
    Jo 
    in 
    the trees 
    started 

    singin' 
    the 
    blues 

    Laughin', 
    meddling, 
    jumpin' 
    up 
    and 
    down 

    Till 
    his 
    foot 
    missed 
    limb 
    and 

    Verse 10
    he 
    fell 
    to 
    the 
    ground 


    Just 
    like 
    a bolt 
    of 
    thunder 

    and 
    streak 
    of 
    heat 

    Leo 
    covered 
    Jo 
    Jo 
    with 
    all 
    four 
    feet 

    Jo 
    Jo 
    was 
    screamin' 
    with 

    tears 
    in 
    his 
    eyes 

    Verse 11
    Said, 
    please 
    mister 
    Leo, 
    apologize 


    Said, 
    if 
    you 
    let 
    my 
    feet 

    upon 
    solid 
    ground 

    I'll fight 
    you 
    close 
    range, 
    fifteen 
    rounds 

    Leo 
    got 
    back 
    to 
    the square 
    of 
    the fight 

    Outro 1
    Jo 
    Jo 
    took 
    leap 
    and 
    jumped 
    out 
    of 
    sight

    • 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.
