Verse 1

It must have been somebody cryin'

Well, me from my slumbering, oh,

lock in the bed
A
D

I know that it wasn't my woman,

she's sleeping here right by me

I know that it's not the wind,

Lord,

For the nightingales sing and play
A
D

I know that it isn't my dove,

Or rats in pheasants see dreams

I know that it's not my

cattle and sheep,
A
D

For the pasture is fine and green
C

Oh,
G
D
Asus4
D
G
D

Lord, can that be?

And still there's somebody crying
G
C

Singing a lonesome song

Oh,
G
D

Lord, can that be?

It might have been a cockerel a -throwin'
Asus4
D

In a voice that was high and thin

It might have been the blue whale singin'
Asus4
D

But I know that it could n't be

And it might have been a
A
D

brown bear dancin'

Pullin' fish from a bright clear stream

And layin' them out by the water

But he's laughin' here,
Asus4
D

in my dream
G
C

Oh,
G
D

Lord, come down and dance
Asus4

Still there's somebody cryin',
G

singin' the night time blues, oh,
D
G
D
G
D

Lord, can that be?

It's not the far cry of the seagull

Following the trawl of mountain howl

It's not the bulge out of the miner
A
D

Scraping the shins on the stone

It's not the rich banker from
A
D

London
Asus4
D

A wheelin' in, datin' all day

It's not thy priest and his sermon

Showing his sinners the way
G

Oh,
A
D
Asus4

Lord, can I love you?
D

G

And still there's somebody
D

cryin' and wailin' so bitterly
C

Oh,
G
D
G
D

Lord, can that be?
A
D

I was flying through rubble and ru in
A
D

And waving between dead trees

When a man with a mask on his face,

Lord
A
D

Asked me if I wore the green

Was black, brown or white?
A
D

Was I yellow?
Asus4
D

Said that I could be sure
Asus4
D

Said I was looking for someone
A
D

Honest and gentle and pure
G

Who could that be?

And still there's somebody crying,

and I feel that I'm closer now

Oh,
C
G
A
D
G
D

Lord, can it be?
A
D

A flash of light blinded my vision

Thunder rolled out from the sky
A

The sheep on the hillside
D

stood watchin'

And they never did understand why

There's a
A
D

Cheshire cat smilin' and a grinnin'

On the prowl of an old
A
D

-fashioned bug

Layin' a trap baited with

buttermilk cheese

and stuffin' bernie bags
Asus4
D
G
C

under his coat
G
A
D

Cold lockin' up there
Asus4

A
D

And still there's somebody cryin'

But I think I know now who it is
C

Good morning,
G
D
Asus4
D

sweet bright sunshine
A

Milk bottles clang on my
D

doorstep

Someone's knockin'
A
D

and battin' my door

The telephone is ringing
A
D

Daylight has come once more
A
D

Now there's a new day a -dawnin'

Maybe the answer I'll find

What is a night without sleepin'?
G
D
Asus4

What is a life without love?

  • 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.
