    Eddie 
    Verse 1
    Graces 
    Buick 

    got four 
    bullet 
    holes 
    in the 
    side 

    And Charlie 
    Delisle 
    sittin' 
    at the top 

    of an 
    avocado 
    tree 

    Mrs. 
    Stormll stab 
    you with a 

    steak knife 
    if you step 
    on 
    her lawn 

    I 
    got a half 
    pack 
    of Lucky 
    Strikes, 

    man, 
    so come 
    along 
    with me 

    Lets 
    fill 
    our 
    pockets 
    with 
    macadamia nuts, 

    then go 
    over 
    to Bobby 
    Goodmansons 

    And 
    jump 
    off 
    the 
    roof 
    Hilda 
    plays 
    strip 

    poker and 
    her 
    mamas 
    across 
    the street 

    Joey 
    Nav
    inski says 
    she put 

    her tongue 
    in his 
    mouth 

    Dicky 
    Faulkners 
    got 
    a switchblade 
    and 
    some 
    gooseneck 

    riser
    s 
    that 
    eu
    calyptus 
    is a 
    hunchback 

    There's 
    a wind 
    up 
    from the 
    south 

    So 
    let me 
    tie 
    you up with 
    kite 
    string 
    and 

    I'll 
    show 
    you the scabs 
    on my 
    knee 

    Watch out for 
    the broken 
    glass, 

    put 
    your shoes 
    and socks 
    on 
    and 
    come along 
    with me 

    Lets 
    follow 
    that fire 
    truck 

    I 
    think 
    your house 
    is burnin' 
    down 

    Then go 
    down to 
    the hobo 
    jungle 

    And kill 
    some rattlesnakes 

    with 
    a trow
    el 

    We'll 
    break 
    all the 
    windows 
    in 

    the old 
    Anderson 
    place 

    And steal 
    a bunch 
    of 

    boysenberry
    s 

    And smear 
    'em on 
    our face 

    I'll 
    get a 
    dollar 
    from my 
    mamas 
    purse 

    And 
    buy 
    that skull 
    and crossbones 
    ring 

    And 
    you can 
    wear it around 
    your neck 

    On an 
    old 
    piece 
    of string 

    Then we'll 
    spit 
    on 
    Ronnie Arnold 
    Verse 2

    And 
    flip 
    him the 
    bird 

    And 
    slash 
    the 
    tires 
    on 
    the school 
    bus 

    Now 
    don't 
    say 
    a word 

    I'll 
    take 
    a 
    rusty 
    nail 

    And scratch 
    your 
    initials 
    on 
    my 
    arm 

    And 
    I'll show 
    you 
    how 
    to sneak 
    up 
    on the 

    roof 
    of the 
    drugstore 

    I'll 
    take 
    Verse 3
    the 
    spokes 
    from 

    your 
    wheel
    chair 

    And 
    a magpies 
    wings 

    And 
    I'll 
    tie 
    'em 
    to your 

    shoulders 
    and 
    your 
    feet 

    I'll 
    steal 
    a 
    hacksaw from 
    my 
    dad 

    And 
    cut 
    the 
    braces 
    off 
    your 
    legs 

    And 
    we'll bury 
    them 
    tonight 

    in the 
    corn
    field 

    Put 
    Verse 4
    a church 
    key in 
    your 
    pocket 

    We'll 
    hop 
    that 
    freight 
    train 
    in the 
    hall 

    And 
    we'll 
    slide 
    all 
    the way 

    down 
    the drain 

    To 
    New Orleans 
    in 
    the fall

    • 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.”
