N/A
Verse 1
Em
G
Am

At the opening of the plaza, the ladies cut cherry cake,
Bb
Am
G

the minister cut the ribbon that ran around the lake,

The big black cars in single file
Am

hurried across the lawn
Bb
Am

And the rain clouds in the eastern
G

sky gathered into a stone
Am
Em

Officials with tarpaulins ran from
Am
Em

the foyer to the pole
Am
Em

Avoiding each other's glances
Am
Em

as large drops began to pour
B
F#

The guests, ran for cover,
B
F#m
F#

holding plates above their heads.
B
F#

The minister's speech could not
B
F#m

be heard for the rushing of the air.
G

The chairman, with a heavy breath,
Am

peered into the sky.
Bb
Am

Said, think we'd better call it off
G

while the cocktails are still dry

The sooner had he spoken when
Am

the thunder had descended
Bb
Am
B

And though the heavens opened
Am
G

and the rain cascaded down
Am
Em

Coffee and the creamer washed,
Am

the banquets struck with plight
Em
Am
Em

Wheels of furnace spinning in the
Am
Em

doctored sharpened hand
B
F#

The seven days and nights it rained,
B
F#m

it seemed like seven years
B
F#

They spent their time by playing
B

cards and electing volunteers
F#m
G
Am

The lake is cracked and dry,
Bb

The sun beats down so
Am

fiercely that it's
G

painful to the eye,

And the ladies and the
Am

gentlemen present on

that day.
Bb
Am

Rapidly declined in hell,
G
F
G

and wasted, cleaned away.

  • 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.
