Intro 1
D
Verse 1
D
Rockin' in the Congo
G
Rockin' in the Congo
A
G
Listen to the lingo, better start to swing
D
So rockin' in the Congo
In the African jungle, way down deep
All of the animals fast asleep
A native boy who was kept to the jive
Said I'm gonna make the
jungle poppin' alive
Beatin' on the drum in his native style
A
G
You could hear his rhythm
up and down the Nile
A
A lion woke up and he let out a roar
D
Said, I think I've heard that beat before
A monkey swung down
from a howl of limbs
Said, I feel that rhythm deep within
An antelope jumped from behind a tree
Said, it sure sounds mighty fine to me
Bm
D
An elephant shook his mighty snout
G
Said, what's this racket all about?
A
A hyena laughed, said,
nothing's wrong
D
We're gonna rock the Congo
all night long
Rockin' in the Congo
G
Rockin' in the Congo
A
Listen to the lingo
G
Better start to swing
D
So rockin' in the Congo
G
A
U -Wa, U -Wa, U -Wa,

G
U -Wa
A
D
Bm
D
Well, an alligator crawled
from his watery bed
Turned to the kempo and
here's what he said
Said, jump that boy, it's time to swing
Can't you hear that rhythm ring?
An ostrich pat his head in the ground
G
Until he heard that rocking sound
A
He started to sing with a go -man go
D
Then he woke up the buffalo
A zebra called to a slick kudu
Said, this is the beat for me and you
None of the animals had a clock
But everybody knew it was time to rock
Across the plains and high on a hill
G
Nothin' in the jungle could keep still
A
The day before was a -goin' strong
D
And they rocked the Congo
all night long
Rockin' in the Congo,
G
rockin' in the Congo
A
G
Listen to the lingo, better start to swing
D
So we're rockin' in the Congo,
A
rockin' in the Congo,
D
baby, all night long.

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
