N/A
Verse 1
C

Let me tell you bout a song

called Doc Brown
Interlude 1

And it needs no introduction
C
Dm
G

Dm
G
B
C

Verse 2
C

He was just an old country doctor
Am
G

in a little Kentucky town
D

Fame and fortune had passed him by
G
D

though we never saw him frown
G
D
G

As day by day in his kindly way

he'd serve us one and all
C

Many a patient forgot to pay although
D

Doc's fees were small
G
C
G

Though he needed his dimes and there were
C

times that he'd receive a fee
G

He'd pass it onto some poor soul
C
F
C

that needed it more than he

He had to sell his furniture cause he
Am
G
C

couldn't pay his office rent

So to a dusty room over a livery stable Doc
Dm
G

Brown and his satchel went

And on the hitchin' post at the
Dm
G

kerb below to advertise his wares
B
Am
C

He nailed a little sign that read

Doc Brown has moved upstairs
G

Then one day he didn't answer when
D

they knocked upon his door
Am
G

Old Doc Brown was layin' down but

his soul was no more
C

They found him there in that old black suit
D

on his face was a smile of content
G

But all the money they could find on him was
C

just a quarter and a copper cent
G
C

So they opened up his ledger and what they
F
C

saw gave their hearts a pull

For beside each debtor's name old Doc
G
C

had write these words Paid In Full

Old Doc should had a funeral
Dm
G

fine enough for king
Dm
G

It was a ghastly joke our town was broke

and no one could give a thing
B
C

Ah cept to ole Curly Jones an

undertaker he did mighty well
G

Donated an old iron casket he had never
D

been able to sell
G

And that funeral procession well it wadn't much

for grace and pomp and the style
C

But those wagon loads of mourners

they stretched out for more than a mile
D

We wanted to give him a monument

we kinda figured we owed him one
G

Cause he made our town a better
C

place for all the good he'd done
G
C

So we pulled up that old hitchin' post
F

where Doc had nailed a sign
C

We painted it white and to all of us
G

it certainly did look fine
Bb
C

Now the rains and the snows have washed

away our white trimmin's of paint

There ain't nothin' left but Doc's own

sign and that's gettin' kinda faint

But you can still see that old hitchin' post

as if in answer to our prayers

Mutually tellin' the whole wide world

Doc Brown has moved upstairs

  • 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.
