A foolish man will tell you

Smoke will come out of him ears
D

like an old rundown engine

Like a man struck by lightning,
D

he'll wonder what hit him

I'll cramp and paralyze him

It don't matter if he's yellow,

all good things must come to an ending

Adam and Eve inna di garden,

Love between Cain and Abel,
D

it came to a killing
G

Many good times I've had,
D

had to come to an ending
G

But let me carry on,
D

with what I was saying
G

Every time that you sin,
D

the devil is laughing
G

Every wrong move you make,
D

brings you nearer towards him
G

You've got your chance,
D

while you are still living
G

To choose a life of goodness,
D

or a life full of sinning
G

So when Satan says,

come to the fiery dungeon
D
G

He's only a wicked man's soul,
D

that boy will be taken
G

Just give me liquor and I'm a lamp,
D

keep it burnin'

Jah give me liquor and I'm a lamp,
D

keep it burnin'

Just give me liquor and I'm a lamp,
D

keep it burnin'

Just give me liquor and I'm a lamp,

keep it burnin'

  • 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.
