    • Verse 1
    Well, 
    Johnny 
    come 
    in 
    last 
    night 

    Man, 
    he 
    was 
    an awful 
    sight 

    The 
    bartender 
    said, 
    "Hey 
    Johnny! 

    There'll 
    be 
    no 
    band 
    to
    night" 

    "The 
    piano- 
    man's 
    drunk 

    He 
    been 
    down 
    in 
    the 
    dumps 

    The 
    drummer's 
    in 
    bed 

    He 
    got 
    a pain 
    in 
    his 
    head 

    No 
    Johnny 

    There'll 
    be 
    no band 
    tonight" 

    Verse 2
    The 
    clock 
    was 
    stickin' 
    close 
    to 
    ten 

    The 
    mailman 
    came 
    runnin' 
    in 

    He 
    said, 
    "Any- 
    body 
    here 
    named 
    Johnny? 

    I 
    got 
    a special 
    deliv'ry for 
    him" 

    "It's 
    from 
    a 
    woman 
    he 
    knows 

    It's 
    from 
    his Bayou 
    Rose 

    The 
    girl 
    of 
    his 
    dreams 

    wants 
    a 
    wedding 
    ring" 

    Love, 
    Rosie 

    "I've 
    got 
    a 
    letter 
    for 

    Interlude 1
    him" 




    Verse 3
    Well 
    Johnny 
    jumped 
    up 
    from 
    his 
    beer 

    Told 
    the mailman, 
    "Yes 
    I'm 
    here" 

    An' 
    then 
    he read 
    it 
    out 
    loud 

    to 
    the bar 
    room 
    crowd 

    But 
    before 
    they 
    had a 
    chance 
    to 
    cheer

    He 
    said 
    "Call 
    up 
    the 
    band 

    I'm 
    a happy 
    man 

    I 
    want 
    them 
    to 
    play 

    On 
    my 
    wedding 
    day" 

    When 
    he 
    told 
    them 

    They 
    had 
    a chance 
    to 
    cheer 

    Verse 4
    The 
    pi
    ano- 
    man 
    came 

    even 
    though 
    it 
    was 
    rainin' 

    The 
    drummer 
    was 
    drummn' just 

    like 
    an 
    insane 
    man 

    They 
    tore 
    off 
    the 
    roof, 

    they 
    knocked 
    down 
    the 
    doors 

    And 
    Johnny 
    an' 
    his 
    bride 
    drove 

    away 
    in 
    her 
    Ford 

    Slappin' 
    the 
    dash 
    to 
    the beat 

    of the 
    band 

    Draggin' 
    behind 
    them 
    a string 
    of 
    tin 
    cans 

    And 
    they 
    ain't 
    been 
    back 
    yet 
    but 

    I know 
    when 
    they 
    do 

    Johnny's 
    gonna 
    play 
    some 
    of 
    the sweetest 
    blues

      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.
