Intro 1

Verse 1
Am

Well, I was in a band,

we were scheduled to appear

At a little roadhouse called
D
Am

the Get Down Here

A cinder block building with

a hand -painted sign

Honk her down,
D
Am
E
Am

straddle in the county line

When the crowd rolled in

and were remarkably mixed

There were truckers, bikers, drifters
D
Am

and locals from the sticks

Each one meaner than a cougar in a cage

And the biggest one
D
Am
E
Am

swaggered right up to the stage
D

Said we heard everybody

from David Allen Coe
Am

to Chuck Berry singing

gold Johnny Goldo
D

He's got an autographed picture

of Elvis on the shelf
B

So tell me boy what you
E

gotta say for yourself
D
Am

I let the guitar do the talking

Yeah the whole place started rockin'
D

My fingertips they weren't stoppin'
Am

And that big bad dude started boppin'
E

No need to fuss
D

Stop squawkin'
Am

And they just let the guitar do the talkin'
Verse 2
Am


she was over in the corner

with a Cheshire smile

Best -lookin' thing for
D
Am

seventeen miles

Sittin' there makin' my cold beer sweat

I figured my chances were a
D
Am

long -shot bet
E
Verse 3
Am

D

Well, cause a woman like

that's heard every line
Am

And I never have been the

silver -tongued kind
D

But I knew that I had me one good chance
B
E

Of getting that girl to dance
D

So I cranked up my amp
Am

and let the guitar do the talking

Yeah, the whole place started rockin'

The fingertips, weren't stoppin'

And that pretty little thing started boppin'

No need to fuss, it stops quackin'

In a world of too many words
Am

Sometimes your point is hard to get heard

Of getting mine on through

I just strap it on, tune it up, dig it in,
Eb

the whole power on, count it off,
D
C

open up my heart and soul
Am

And let the guitar do the talkin'

Yeah, the whole place started
D

rockin'

Fingertips that weren't stoppin'

And everybody started boppin'

No need to fuss, stop squawkin'

  • 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.
