    Dig,

    Mac 
    the 

    Knife! 





    Oh, 
    the 
    shark 
    has 
    pretty 
    teeth
    , 

    An
    d 
    he 
    shows 
    them 

    up 
    really 
    wide 

    Just 
    a 
    jackknife, 
    as 

    Mackie 
    did 

    And 
    he 
    keeps 
    it 
    out 
    of 
    sight 

    When 
    the 
    shark 
    bites 
    with 
    his 
    teeth, 

    dear 

    Scarlet 
    billows 
    start 
    to 
    spray 

    Fancy 
    gloves 
    though, 

    where's 
    my 
    key, 
    dear 

    So 
    there's 
    not 
    a 
    trace, 
    mmm, 
    of 
    red 

    On 
    the 
    sidewalk, 

    Sunday 
    morn
    ing, 
    baby 

    Lies 
    a 
    body, 
    oozing 
    light 

    Someone's 
    sneaking 
    around 
    the 
    corner 

    Is 
    this 
    someone 

    Mack 
    and 

    I? 

    From 
    a 
    tug
    boat 
    by 
    the 
    river 

    A 
    cement 
    bag's 

    drooping 
    down 

    Yes, 
    this 
    evening's 
    just 
    for 
    the 
    waitin', 

    Bet 
    you

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
