    C
    G
    C

    Oh, I have a little daughter and

    my daughter's name is Kate
    Dm
    D

    And she's every bit mischievous
    G

    as a kitten on a skate
    C

    With a bandage on her forehead

    and the bruises on her knees
    D
    G

    You would swear she'd fought with
    C

    buccaneers upon the seven seas
    Verse 2
    C

    For it's up the stairs and down

    the stairs and in the room and out
    D

    Like a miniature tornado,
    G

    she can blow the house about
    C

    Take an angel with the devil in

    the twinkling of her eye

    And that's my Katy, little lady,
    D
    G
    C

    and I love her
    Verse 3
    G
    C


    Oh, you might believe in miracles,

    you might believe in saints
    D

    But you'd never believe my Katy when
    G

    she's playing with her paints
    C

    For there's red upon the window

    and there's green upon her face
    G
    C

    In her hair, and in her eyes but on the paper,

    not a trace
    Verse 4
    C

    When she's in her room and quiet,

    and there comes a bit of calm
    D
    Dm
    D

    You develop the sensation that
    G

    you're sitting on a bomb
    C

    Take an angel with the devil in

    the twinkling of her eye

    And that's my Katy, little lady,
    G
    C

    and I love her
    Verse 5
    G
    C


    My Katy loves her games,

    you know, a thirty times a week
    D

    I find myself dragooned into
    G

    a game of hide and seek
    C

    So, I find myself in closets,

    under beds I quietly creep
    G

    And I wait for thirty minutes till
    C

    my brain has gone to sleep
    Verse 6
    C

    Yes, I sit there in the closet and

    it seems like half a day
    Dm
    D

    Till I find a friend has come to call
    G

    and Kate's gone out to play
    C

    Take an angel with the devil in

    the twinkling of her eye
    G
    C

    That's my Katy, little lady, and I love her
    Verse 7
    C
    G
    C

    And you might have heard of daddies

    who would dote upon their girls
    D

    Who get wrapped around their fingers
    G

    by the tossing of the curls
    C

    Who respond to hugs and kisses till

    there's nothing they wouldn't do
    G

    Don't you ever believe a word if it,
    C

    it simply isn't true
    Verse 8
    C

    For I'd only jump the moon for her,

    I'd only jump the sea
    Dm
    D

    For the hugs I get to give her and
    G

    the kisses she gives to me
    C

    Take an angel with the devil in

    the twinkling of her eye
    G
    C

    That's my Katy, little lady, and I love her
    Verse 9
    C

    Take an angel with the devil in

    the twinkling of her eye
    G
    C

    That's my Katy, little lady, and I love her
    G

    • 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.
