Verse 2
A
G#

The comedy of man starts like this
D

Our brains are way too big
A

for our mother's hips
E

And so Nature, she divines this alternative
G#

We emerged half- formed and hope
A

that whoever greets us on the other end
E

Is kind enough to fill us in
A

And, babies, that's pretty much
E

how it's been ever since
Verse 3
D#dim

Now the miracle of birth leaves
G#

a few issues to address
G#dim

Like, say, that half of us
D
A

are periodically iron deficient

So somebody's got to go kill something
E

while I look after the kids
G#

I'd do it myself, but what,
A

are you going to get this thing its milk?

He says as soon as he gets back from the hunt,
E

we can switch
A

It's hard not to fall in love
E

with something so helpless
A

Ladies, I hope we don't end
E

up regretting this
Verse 4
E

Comedy, now that's what
A

I call pure comedy

Just waiting until the part where
G#m

they start to believe

They're at the center
B

of everything
A

And some all- powerful being endowed
B

this horror show with meaning
Verse 5
E

Oh, their religions are the best

They worship themselves
A

yet they're totally obsessed

With risen zombies, celestial virgins,

magic tricks, these unbelievable outfits
D#m
A

And they get terribly upset
B

When you question their sacred texts
E

Written by woman- hating epileptics
A
Their
Verse 6

languages just serve

to confuse them
Am

Their confusion somehow makes

them more sure
A

They build fortunes poisoning

their offspring
Am

And hand out prizes when someone

patents the cure
A

Where did they find these goons

they elected to rule them?
Am

What makes these clowns they

idolize so remarkable?
A

These mammals are hell- bent

on fashioning new gods
Am

So they can go on being godless animals

Oh comedy, their illusions they have

no choice but to believe
G#m

Their horizons that just forever recede

G#m

And how's this for irony,
D#m
D#dim
F#m
B

their idea of being free is a prison of beliefs

That they never ever have to leave
Verse 8

Oh comedy

Oh it's like something that a

The only thing that seems to make them feel

  • 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.
