    Why 
    do 
    Verse 1
    they 
    slow 
    the free
    way 
    down 
    when 
    the river 
    turns, 

    when it 
    comes 
    through town, 
    when 
    the 
    water 
    hits 
    the 
    rocks, 
    it rolls 
    with 
    hot, 
    raw 
    tem
    po? 

    Oh, I'm 
    drivin' 
    slow 

    Well, 
    maybe 
    picked 
    out 

    a bor
    ing 
    use 

    For the 
    air 
    I'm 
    forced 
    in 
    the inner 
    tube 

    Instead 
    of 
    squintin' 

    through this 
    muddy 
    screen 

    should be 
    sittin', 
    splash
    in', 

    floatin' 
    downstream 

    Here 
    we 
    go 
    around 
    the dry 
    thistle 

    Mon
    key 
    can 
    climb, 
    but 
    whistle 

    He 
    can't 
    sing 
    and 
    I can't 
    dance 

    And 
    the 
    monkey 
    don't 
    have 
    to wear 

    no 
    pant


    Young 
    men 
    cope, 
    old 
    men 
    bitch 

    Cause 
    the 
    ones 
    in 
    the middle 

    get to 
    scratch 
    that 
    itch 

    Kid
    just 
    want 
    some 
    taboo 
    fruit 

    Like 
    chance 
    to dance 
    in 
    their 
    birthday 
    suit 

    Now 
    wonder 
    if 
    where 
    love's 
    involved 

    Did 
    we 
    improve 
    as 
    we 
    evolved 

    Per
    haps 
    we'd 
    fix 
    big mistake 

    By 
    go
    ing 
    wild, 
    going 
    ape 

    Here 
    we 
    go 
    around 
    the 
    tri 
    -vessel 

    Mon
    key 
    can 
    climb 
    but 
    whistle 

    He 
    can't 
    sing 
    and 
    I can't 
    dance 

    And 
    the monkey 
    don't 
    have 

    to 
    wear no 
    pant

    Here 
    we 
    go 
    around 
    the 
    tri 
    -vessel 

    Mon
    key 
    can

    He 
    can't 
    sing 
    and 
    I can't 
    dance 

    And 
    the monkey 
    don't 
    have 
    to wear 
    no 
    pant




    He 
    can't

    and 
    I can't

    • 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.
