    Kenesaw 
    Mountain 
    Landis 

    was 
    a bad 
    mother 
    fucker 

    He 
    was seventeen 
    feet tall, 

    he had 
    a hundred 
    and fifty 
    wives 

    He didn't 
    do 
    that much 
    except 

    he saved 
    the game 
    of baseball 

    He 
    put two 
    and two 
    togeth
    er and 

    he noticed 
    it 
    was four 

    Now the treach
    ery of Shoeless 

    Joe 
    can't 
    hurt us 
    any
    more 

    And 
    he'll al
    ways 
    be remembered 

    as Kenesaw 
    Mountain 
    Land
    is 

    Verse 2
    Fellow 
    named 
    Joe Jackson 
    was 

    a field
    er for 
    the Black 
    Sox 

    And 
    he 
    always 
    wore his black 
    socks, 

    but he nev
    er wore 
    no shoes 

    He weren't 
    the nicest 
    fellow 
    and 

    he had 
    a couple 
    problems 

    'Cause 
    he drank 
    a lot 
    and he beat 

    his wife 
    and he 
    always ac
    ted rude 

    He 
    killed 
    and ate 
    some ba
    bies 
    and 

    he copped 
    an atti
    tude 

    And the one 
    man 
    that he 
    hated most 

    was Kenesaw 
    Moun
    tain 
    Land
    is 

    The 
    mafia 
    Verse 3
    said 
    Shoeless 
    Joe 

    You should 
    really 
    run this 
    show 

    You should 
    be the guy 
    who 
    owns 
    baseball 

    And 
    all you 
    really 
    gotta 
    do 

    Is 
    help 
    us make 
    a buck 
    or two 

    We'll bet 
    on 
    the other 
    team 

    You'll 
    lose 
    the game but 
    make it 
    seem 

    Like 
    nothing 
    could be 
    further 

    from the 
    truth 

    Shoe
    less Joe 
    did what 
    they said 
    he dropped 
    Verse 4

    a couple 
    fly 
    balls 

    And he walked 
    up to 
    the pitcher 
    and 

    he poked 
    him 
    in the eye

    And in 
    the seventh 
    inning 
    with 

    the Black 
    Sox 
    nearly beaten 

    There 
    was someone 
    who 
    was watch

    ing from 
    his blimp 
    above 
    the 
    stands 

    Cradling 
    a rifle 
    in 
    his thick 

    and meaty 
    hands 

    And as 
    if 
    you hadn't 
    guessed 
    yet 
    it was Kenesaw 

    Mountain 
    Land
    is 

    Kenesaw 
    said 
    drop 
    that glove 
    Verse 5

    Or I swear 
    by 
    God 
    above 

    I'll make 
    you regret 
    playing 
    baseball 

    And 
    Shoeless 
    Joe looked 
    up 
    and saw 

    The 
    sil
    ver 
    rifle's 
    gaping 
    maw 

    And 
    though no 
    one had 
    noticed 
    yet 

    His 
    underwear 
    was 
    getting 
    wet 

    He 
    peed himself 
    in 
    front 

    of everyone 

    Verse 6


    Shoeless 
    Joe was 
    finished 
    but he 

    couldn't 
    quite 
    admit 
    it 

    So he 
    raised 
    his middle 
    finger 

    up above 
    the other 
    four 

    And 
    Kenesaw 
    took careful 
    aim 

    and fired 
    a single 
    bullet 

    And he shot 
    that 
    dirty 
    finger 
    off 

    and he 
    dropped 
    his trusty 
    gun 

    And 
    every
    body 
    in the stand

    knew that 
    he had 
    won 

    And 
    today 
    they 
    still refer 
    to 
    him as 

    Kenesaw 
    Mountain 
    Land
    is 

    Verse 7
    Shoeless 
    Joe 
    left baseball 
    and because 

    a famous 
    pop 
    star 

    And he asked 
    the musical 
    question 

    is 
    she really 
    go
    ing out 
    with 
    him 

    He 
    had a couple 
    albums 
    and a comeback 

    in the 
    80's 

    But he never 
    won 
    Grammy and 

    he never 
    was 
    the same 

    And he never 
    could 
    be sat
    isfied 

    with critical 
    ac
    claim 

    'Cause the crit
    ics all 
    confused 
    him 

    with the great 
    Elvis 
    Costel
    lo 

    Yes 
    the critics 
    all 
    confused 
    him 

    with the great 
    Elvis 
    Cos
    tello

      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 🙂

      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.
