    Em

    All the children testified
    C

    That Miss Macbeth had a fishbone slide
    G

    In her cobweb tresses
    Em

    Her eyes were black

    like first foot coal
    C

    Clutched as white as chalk- dust
    Am

    Her fin gers sweated india- ink
    C
    Em

    and poison- pen letters
    A
    Em

    There is a hungry hanging tree
    Am
    D

    Just below your bedroom window

    You can hear her take a broom
    Em
    C
    Am
    D

    To beat out a tattoo on the ceiling
    Am
    Em

    Her bloodless face ran red inside
    Am

    But was she really evil?
    C
    Em

    Was she only pantomime?

    That somebody's face has just been
    G
    Em
    D

    Washed off the pavement
    Am

    Into a puzzle where petrol
    G
    Em
    D

    Will be poisoned by rain
    Am

    Miss Macbeth saw her reflection
    G
    Em
    D

    As confetti bled its colours down
    C

    the drain

    Em

    Well we all should have known
    C

    When the children paraded
    Am

    They portrayed her in

    their fairytales
    G
    Em
    D

    Sprinkling deadly nightshade
    Am

    And as they tormented her
    G
    Em

    She rose to the bait

    Even a scapegoat

    D
    Am

    Em

    Miss Macbeth has a gollywog
    C

    She chucks under the chin
    Am
    A

    And she whispers to it tenderly
    Am
    G
    Em
    D

    Then sticks it on a pin
    Am

    And it might be coincidence
    G
    Em
    D

    But a boy down the lane
    Am

    That she said went white as he could do
    G
    Em
    D

    • 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.
