    think 
    of 
    who's 
    to 
    blame 

    And 
    bow 
    my 
    head 
    in 
    shame 



    So 
    you've 
    grown 
    tired 
    of your 

    parents 
    always 
    hanging 
    around 

    Now 
    they 
    spoil 
    your 
    children 
    and

    Yes,

    they'd 

    go 
    away 
    so 
    you 
    wouldn't

    pay 
    for 
    their 
    food 

    For

    your 
    mother 
    to 

    Shady 

    Acres, 
    send 
    your 
    father 
    to 

    Shady 

    Acres, 
    we'll 
    take 
    good 
    care 

    of 
    them, 
    you 
    won't 
    be 
    aware 
    of 
    them, 

    send 
    them 
    to 

    Shady 

    Acres. 

    Well, 
    if one 
    of 
    them's 
    dead, 

    don't 
    worry 
    your 
    head, 

    cause 
    we 
    have 
    matchmaker. 

    They 
    can 
    sit 
    down 
    and 
    fetch 

    on 
    the 
    redstone 
    steps 

    while 
    watching 
    green 
    acres.

    you 
    don't 
    want 
    to 
    visit, 

    well, 
    there's 
    no 
    requisite. 

    We 
    have 
    foster 
    sons 
    and 
    daughters 

    to 
    help 
    all 
    our 
    barters, 

    To 
    stop 
    feeling 
    blue 

    Keep

    checks 
    coming 
    and 

    we 
    won't

    of 
    them 

    Send 
    them 
    to 
    shady 
    acres

    die 
    while 
    they're 
    sleeping, 

    yes, 
    right 
    in 
    their 
    beds 

    Now 
    there's 
    no 
    need 
    for 
    worry 

    We 
    have 
    our 
    own 
    mortuary 

    And 
    beautiful 
    cemetery 

    Yes, 
    we 
    are 
    good 
    people 

    We 
    care 
    for 
    the 
    feeble 

    We've 
    de
    voted 
    our 
    lives 

    To 
    the 
    husbands 
    and 
    wives 

    Who 
    don't 
    want 
    their 
    fathers 

    Here 
    on 
    to 
    be 
    bothers 

    So 
    send 
    them

    respectable 

    Send

    care 
    of 
    them 

    Be
    cause 
    we 
    love 
    them 

    And 
    send 
    them 
    to 
    shady 
    acres 

    Well 
    the 

    Freudian 
    doctors 
    they 
    tell 
    me 

    Have 
    no 
    fear, 
    it's 
    not 
    your 
    fault 

    You're 
    growing 
    up 
    bad 
    because 

    Your 
    par
    ents 
    did 
    you 
    wrong 

    And 
    blame 
    it 
    on 
    my 
    parents, 

    on 
    teachers 
    in 
    the 
    school 

    Till 
    remember 
    once 
    upon 
    time, 

    they 
    had 
    parents 
    too 

    think 
    of 
    who's 
    to 
    blame, 

    and I 
    bow 
    my 
    head 
    in 
    shame.

    • 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.
