Am
Now in my younger days
G
I used to sport a shag
F
When I went to school
Em
I carried lunch in a bag

With an apple for my teacher
G
'cause I knew I'd get a kiss
F
Always got mad
G
when the class was dismissed
Am
But when it was in session,
G
I always had a question
F
I would raise my hand
Em
to make her stagger to my desk
Am
and he helped me with my problem,
G
it was never much
F
Just a trick, to smell her scent
G
and try to sneak a touch
Verse 2
Am
Oh, how I wish
G
I could hold her hand
F
and give her a hug
Em
Am
She was married to the man, he was a thug
G
His name was Lee, he drove a Z
He'd pick her up from school
F
Em
promptly at three o'clock
Am
G
I was on her jock, yes indeedy,

Verse 3
Am
When I dream of fairytales
G
I think of me and Shelly
F
See she's my type of hype
Em
and I can't stand when brothers tell me
Am
That I should quit chasing
G
and look for something better
F
But the smile that she shows
Em
makes me a go-getter
Am
I haven't gone as far as asking
G
if I could get with her
F
I just play love by ear
Em
and hope she gets the picture
Am
I'm shooting for her heart,
G
got my finger on the trigger
F
She could be my broad, and I could be her...
Verse 4
Am
G
All I can do is stare
F
Back as kids we used to kiss
Em
when we played truth or dare
Am
Now she's more sophisticated,
G
highly edu-ma-cated
F
Not at all overrated,
Em
I think I need a prayer
Am
G
To get in her book and it looks rather dry
F
I guess a twinkle in her eye
Em
is just a twinkle in her eye
Am
Although she's crazy stepping,
G
I'll try to stop her stride
F
'Cause I won't have no more
Em
of this passing me by
Verse 5
Am
(It's time for me to) voice my opinion,
G
can't be pretending she didn't have me
F
Sprung like a chicken,
Em
chasin' my tail like a doggy
Am
She was kind of like a star,
G
thinking I was like a fan
F
Em
Damn, she looked good, downside,
she had a man
Am
G
He was a rooty-toot, a nincompoop
F
She told me soon your little birdy's
Em
gonna fly the coop

She was a flake like corn,

and I was born not to understand
By letting her pass

Now there she goes again,

the dopest Ethiopian

Whenever she happens to walk by,

why does the apple of my eye

Overlook and disregard my feelings
Em
no matter how much I try?
Am
Wait, no, I did not really

When I try,
G
or make some sort of attempt, I simp
Damn, I wish I wasn't such a wimp
Am
'Cause then I would let you know
that I love you so

The only lying I would do

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.”
