    Am

    Saturday night and the bar is packed
    Em

    The drinks are watered

    and the decks are stacked
    Am

    The whores are grinning

    with their faces cracked
    Em

    And the gam blers cursing at

    the horses they've backed
    C

    Saturday night and the bar is jammed
    Em

    We've got our table

    and the rest be damned
    C

    The waiter's hovering near at hand
    Em

    We're loaded earlier than we planned
    G
    C#dim
    G

    Some damn fool is starting a fight

    Why does he wait for
    Em
    G

    Saturday night?
    C

    Mary and Eddie are busy indeed
    G

    Making up for lost time in the rear

    George is beginning to sweat
    C

    While a stranger is sticking

    her tongue in his ear

    Dave is explaining the next revolution
    F

    Someone is granting the

    crowd absolution
    G

    Whoever is running her foot up my leg
    Am

    I love you
    G

    La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
    Am

    Saturday night and the jukebox roars
    Em

    Off in the corner the sound of snores
    Am

    My head is ringing with noise and smoke
    Em

    And someone's ordering

    scotch and coke
    C

    Saturday night and my

    friends are blind
    Em

    They're rocking the table

    just to blow my mind
    C

    I don't know why but I'm

    on my knees
    Em

    Showing my call how an ape climbs trees
    G

    Some damn fool is starting a fight

    Why does he wait for Saturday
    C#dim
    G
    Em
    G

    night?
    C

    Mary and Eddie are busy indeed
    G

    Making up for lost time in the rear

    George is beginning to faint
    C

    While a stranger is sticking

    her tongue in his ear

    Dave is conducting the

    next revolution.
    F

    Someone is granting the

    crowd absolution.
    G

    Whoever is running her foot up my leg,
    Am

    I love you.
    G
    Em
    G

    La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
    C

    The Mary and Eddie are being arrested
    G

    for making up time in the rear.

    George is out calling the cab

    with a stranger
    C

    who still has her tongue in his ear.

    Dave has abandoned the

    next revolution.
    F

    Someone is canceling his absolution.
    G

    Whoever is running her
    C

    foot up my leg, I love you.

    • 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.
