The Staple Singers

N/A
Intro 1
Am


Verse 1
Am

Love a van that is loaded

with weapons

Packed up and ready to go

Heard of some grave sites

out by the highway

A place where nobody knows
E

The sound of gunfire off
Am

in the distance

I'm getting used to it now

Lived in a brownstone,

I've lived in the ghetto

I've lived all over this town
E

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco

This ain't no foolin' around

No time for dancin'

Or lovin' dovin'

I ain't got time for that now
Am

Let's get a message

To the receiver

Hope for an answer someday

I've got 3D passports

A couple of visas

Don't even know my real name

We dress like students

We dress like housewives

Or in a suit and a tie

I've changed my hairstyle

so many times now

I don't know what I look like
E

This ain't no party

This ain't no disco

This ain't no foolin' around

No, oh no

No time for dancin'

Or lovey -dovey

I ain't got time for that now
Am

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
E

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco

This ain't no foolin' around, no, no

No time for dancin',

or lovin' devilin'

I ain't got time for that now, hey
Am

I heard about Houston,

heard about Detroit

Heard about Pittsburgh, D .A.

You oughta know not to stand

by that window

Somebody see you up there
G
Am

I got some groceries,

some peanut butter,

to last a couple of days.

But I ain't got no speakers,

ain't got no headphones,

ain't got no records to play.
F
E

This ain't no party,

this ain't no disco,

this ain't no foolin' around, no.

I love to hold ya, I love to kiss ya,

but I ain't got time for that now.

No time, no

This ain't no party

No

This ain't no fiesta

No

This ain't no foolin' around

No time for dancin'

Or lovin', lovin', lovin'

I ain't got time for that now
Am

Hey, hey, hey, hey

This ain't no party

Uh
Outro 1

This ain't no dingo!

  • 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.
