  • Verse 1
    Woke 
    up 
    this 
    morning 

    Put 
    on 
    my 
    slippers 

    Walked 
    in 
    the kitchen 
    an
    died 

    And 
    oh 
    what 
    feeling! 

    When 
    my 
    soul 
    went 
    through 
    the ceiling 

    And 
    on 
    up 
    into 
    heaven 
    did 
    ride 

    When 
    got 
    there 
    they 
    did 
    say 

    John, 
    it 
    happene
    this 
    way 

    You 
    slipped 
    upon 
    the floor 

    And 
    hit 
    your 
    head 

    And 
    all 
    the angels 
    say 

    Just 
    be
    fore 
    you 
    passed 
    away 

    These 
    were 
    the very 
    last 
    words 

    That 
    you 
    said 


    Verse 2
    Please 
    don't 
    bury 
    me 

    Down 
    in 
    the 
    cold 
    cold 
    ground 

    No, 
    I'd 
    druther 
    have 

    'em 
    cut 
    me 
    up 

    And pass 
    me 
    all 
    around 

    Throw 
    my 
    brain 
    in 
    hurricane 

    And 
    the 
    blind 
    can 
    have 
    my 
    eyes 

    And 
    the 
    deaf 
    can 
    take 
    both 
    of 
    my 
    ears 

    If 
    they 
    don't 
    mind 
    the size 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    Give 
    my 
    stomach 
    to 
    Milwaukee 

    If 
    they 
    run 
    out 
    of 
    beer

    Put 
    my 
    socks 
    in 
    a cedar 
    box 

    Just 
    get 
    'em 
    out 
    of 
    here 

    Venus 
    de Milo 
    can 
    have 
    my 
    arms 

    Look 
    out
    I've 
    got 
    your 
    nose 

    Sell 
    my 
    heart 
    to 
    the Junk
    man 

    And 
    give 
    my 
    love 
    to Rose 

    Verse 4
    But 
    please 
    don't 
    bury 
    me 

    Down 
    in 
    that 
    cold, 
    cold 
    ground 

    No, 
    I'd 
    druther 
    have 
    'em 
    cut 
    me 
    up 

    And 
    pass 
    me 
    all 
    around 

    Throw 
    my 
    brain 
    in 
    a hurricane 

    And 
    the blind 
    can 
    have 
    my 
    eyes 

    And 
    the deaf 
    can 
    take 
    both 
    of my 
    ears 

    If 
    they 
    don't 
    mind 
    the size 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 5
    Give my 
    feet 
    to 
    the footloose 

    Careless, 
    fancy 
    free 

    Give 
    my 
    knees 
    to 
    the 
    needy 

    Don't 
    pull 
    that 
    stuff 
    on 
    me 

    Hand 
    me 
    down 
    my 
    walking 
    cane 

    It's 
    a sin 
    to 
    tell 
    lie 

    Send 
    my 
    mouth 
    way 
    down 
    south 

    And 
    kiss 
    my 
    ass 
    good
    bye 

    Verse 6
    But 
    please 
    don't 
    bury 
    me 

    Down 
    in 
    that 
    cold 
    cold 
    ground 

    No, 
    I'd 
    druther 
    have 
    'em 
    cut 
    me 
    up 

    And 
    pass 
    me 
    all 
    around 

    Throw 
    my 
    brain 
    in 
    hurricane 

    And 
    the blind 
    can have 
    my

    And

    • 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.
