    in 
    this 
    town 

    Had 
    changed 
    it 'round 
    to, 
    "Sambo", 

    I was 
    "Rastus" 
    to 
    a few 

    Then 
    "Chocolate

    others 
    that 
    I knew 

    Verse 2
    And 
    then 
    to cap 
    the 
    climax, 

    I was 
    strolling 
    down 
    the line 

    When someone 
    shouted, 
    "Fellas, 

    hey! 
    Come 
    on 
    and 
    pipe 
    the shine!" 

    But 
    don't 
    care 
    a bit 

    Here's 
    how 
    fig

    ure 
    it 

    Verse 3

    Well, 
    just 
    because 
    my 
    hair 
    is 
    curly 

    And 
    just 
    because 
    my 

    teeth 
    are 
    pearly 

    Just 
    be
    cause 
    always 

    wear

    up 
    in

    trouble 
    smilin', 
    never

    my 
    color's 
    shady 

    Slightly 
    dif

    • 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.
