    Well, 
    if 
    you're 
    one 
    of 
    the 
    millions 

    who 
    own 
    one 
    of 
    them 

    gas-drinking, 
    piston-clinking, 
    air-polluting, 

    smoke-belching, 
    four-wheeled 
    buggies 

    from 
    Detroit 
    City, 
    then 
    pay 
    attention 

    I'm 
    about 
    to 
    sing 
    your 
    song 
    song 


    Verse 1
    Well, 
    I'm 
    not 
    man 
    appointed 
    judge 

    To 
    bear 
    ill-will 
    and 
    hold 
    grudge 

    But 
    think 
    it's 
    time 

    said 
    me 
    few 
    choice 
    words 

    All 
    a
    bout 
    that 
    demon 
    automobile 

    metal 
    box 
    with 
    the 
    polyglass 
    wheel 

    The 
    end 
    result 
    to 
    dream 
    of 
    Henry 
    Ford 

    Well 
    I've 
    got 
    car 
    that's 
    mine 
    alone 

    That 
    me 
    and 
    the 
    finance 
    company 
    own 

    ready-made 
    pile 
    of 
    manufactured 
    grief 

    And 
    if 
    ain't 
    out 
    of 
    gas 
    in 
    the 
    pouring 
    rain 

    I'm 
    a-
    changin' 
    flat 
    in 
    hurricane 

    once 
    spent 
    three 
    days 
    lost 
    on 
    clover
    leaf 

    Well 
    it 
    ain't 
    just 
    the 
    smoke 
    and 
    the 
    traffic 
    jam 

    That 
    makes 
    me 
    the 
    bitter 
    fool 
    am 

    But 
    this 
    four-wheel 
    buggy 
    is 

    A-dollaring 
    me 
    to 
    death 

    For 
    gas 
    and 
    oils 
    and 
    fluids 
    and 
    grease 

    And 
    wires 
    and 
    tires 
    and 
    anti 
    freeze 

    And 
    them 
    accessories 

    Well 
    honey, 
    that's 
    something 
    else 

    Well 
    you 
    can 
    get 
    stereo 
    tape 
    and 
    color 
    TV 

    Get 
    back-seat 
    bar 
    and 
    reclining 
    seats 

    And 
    just 
    pay 
    once 
    month, 

    like 
    you 
    do 
    your 
    rent 

    Well 
    figured 
    it 
    up 
    and 
    over 
    period 
    of 
    time 

    This 
    four 
    thousand 
    dollar 
    car 
    of 
    mine 

    Costs 
    fourteen 
    thousand 
    dollars 

    And 
    ninety-nine 
    cents, 
    well 
    now 

    Chorus 1
    Lord 
    Mr. 
    Ford, 
    just 
    wish 
    that 
    you 
    could 
    see 

    What 
    your 
    simple 
    horseless 
    carriage 

    has 
    be
    come 

    Well 
    it 
    seems 
    your 
    contribution 
    to 
    man 

    To 
    say 
    the 
    least, 
    got 
    little 
    out 
    of 
    hand 

    Well 
    Lord 
    Mr. 
    Ford 
    what 
    have 
    you 
    done 

    Solo 1

    Verse 2
    Now 
    the 
    average 
    American 
    father 
    and 
    mother 

    Own 
    one 
    whole 
    car 
    and 
    half 
    another 

    And 
    bet 
    that 
    half 
    car 
    is 

    Trick 
    to 
    buy, 
    don't 
    you 

    But 
    the 
    thing 
    that 
    amazes 
    me, 
    guess 

    Is 
    the 
    way 
    we 
    measure 
    man's 
    success 

    By 
    the 
    kind 
    of 
    automo
    bile 

    he 
    can 
    af
    ford 
    to 
    buy 

    Well 
    now, 
    red 
    light, 
    green 
    light, 
    traffic 
    cop 

    Right 
    turn, 
    no 
    turn, 
    must 
    turn, 
    stop 

    Get 
    out 
    the 
    credit 
    card 
    honey, 

    we're 
    out 
    of 
    gas 

    Well 
    now, 
    all 
    the 
    cars 
    placed 
    end 
    to 
    end 

    Would 
    reach 
    to 
    the 
    moon 
    and 
    back 
    again 

    And 
    there'd 
    probably 
    be 
    some 

    Fool 
    pull 
    out 
    to 
    pass 

    Well 
    now, 
    how 
    yearn 
    for 
    the 
    good 
    old 
    days 

    With
    out 
    that 
    carbon 
    monoxide 
    haze 

    A-
    hanging 
    over 
    the 
    roar 
    of 
    the 
    inter
    state 

    Well 
    if 
    the 
    Lord 
    that 
    made 

    the 
    moon 
    and 
    stars 

    Would 
    have 
    meant 
    for 
    me 

    and 
    you 
    to 
    have 
    cars 

    He'd 
    have 
    seen 
    that 

    we 
    were 
    all 
    born 
    with 
    parking 
    space 

    Chorus 2
    Lord 
    Mr. 
    Ford, 
    just 
    wish 
    that 
    you 
    could 
    see 

    What 
    your 
    simple 
    horseless 
    carriage 

    has 
    be
    come 

    Well 
    it 
    seems 
    your 
    contribution 
    to 
    man 

    To 
    say 
    the 
    least, 
    got 
    little 
    out 
    of 
    hand 

    Well 
    Lord 
    Mr. 
    Ford 
    what 
    have 
    you 
    done 

    Outro 1
    Come 
    a
    way 
    with 
    me 
    Lucille 

    In 
    my 
    smoking, 
    choking 
    automo
    bile

    • 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.
