Verse 1
D
Now every day I'd
see him out on the front porch
With the guitar across his lap
G
He'd be sittin' there diggin'
that transistor radio
Figurin' all them hit songs out
D
While the other kids
G
would sit around and wait on sticks
D
Till Johnny got his guitar
G
down and he'd hit
D
Cause that's the way Johnny
G
used to get his kicks
Tryin' to figure out some new
A
G
heart and licks
D
Little Johnny wants to be a star
A
Little Johnny wants to be a star
G
All he wants to do is sing a little song
And play music on a fine guitar
You hear him going
D
Mm -hmm, mm -hmm
Mm -hmm, mm -hmm
G

Deep in there, Johnny
Now every time a show
would come to town,
you'd find Johnny on
the front row seat
G
He'd be sittin' there
starin' all misty -eyed,
never missin' one single beat
D
And when the show was over
G
he would go straight home,
D
get his guitar down
G
and he would play it till dawn
D
Dreamin' of a time when
G
he'd be grown
A
and someday have a show of his own
D
Little Johnny wants to be a star,
A
Little Johnny wants to be a star
G
All he wants to do is sing a little song
and make music on a fine guitar
D
You hear him going, mm -hmm,
G
D
A
mm -hmm, mm -hmm
G
D
One day he picked up his
songs and his guitar
He kissed his little mama goodbye
G
He drove to New York City
to see a record producer
Asking if he'd give him a try
D
And so they took him to the studio,
G
they turned him loose
D
And when he started singing
G
and playing the blues
D
He saw him breathing inside
G
that control room booth
A
Yes, everybody knew the truth
D
Little Johnny's gonna be a star
A
Little Johnny's gonna be a star
G
At last he's singing a big hit song
And making music on a fine guitar
They heard him going,
D
mm -hmm, mm -hmm.
Show them, Johnny.
G

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

“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
