Verse 1
F
Dm

I

ain't nothin' but a simple man,
C

they call me a redneck the

recker that I am
G

but these things goin' on make me
Dm

mad down to the core.

Gotta work like a dog to make ends meet,
C

with those cookin'

polititions and crime in the streets,
G

I moderned hell and I ain't

gonna take it no more.
Dm

Gotta tell our kids to just say no,
C

and some panny waist judge
G

let a drug dealer go

slaps him on the wrist and turns
Dm

him back onto the town.

I had my way with people selling dope
C

but take a big tall tree

and a short piece of rope
G

and hang 'em up high and let 'em swing
Dm

'til the sun goes down.
Verse 2
Dm

You know what's wrong

with the world today,
C

people done gone put their
G

bibles away

they're livin' by law of jungle
Dm

not the law of the land.

The good book says so I know its the truth
C

an eye for an eye and a tooth

for a tooth
Dm

you've gotta watch where you're goin',
C

remember where you've been,
G
Dm

that's the way I see it I'm a simple man.
Verse 3

Dm

I'm the kind of man

that wouldn't hurt a mouse,
C

but if I catch somebody breakin' in my house,

G

I've gotta 12 gauge shotgun
Dm

waiting on the other side.

So don't go pushin me against my will,

C

I don't want to have to fight you
G

but I darn sure will.

So if you don't want trouble,
Dm

you better just pass me on by.

As far I know there ain't no excuse
C

for the rapin' and the killin'
G

and the child abuse

and I've gotta way to put an
Dm

end to all that mess.

You take them rascals out in the swamp,
C

put em' on their knees and tie
G

em' to a stump

let the raddlers and the bugs and the
Dm

alligators do the rest.
Verse 4
Dm

You know what's wrong

with the world today,
C

people done gone put their

bibles away
G

they're livin' by law of jungle
Dm

not the law of the land.
D

The good book says so I know its the truth
C

a eye for an eye and a tooth

for a tooth
Dm

you've gotta watch where you're goin'
C

remember where you've been,
G

that's the way I see it I'm a
Dm

simple man.
Verse 5

You've gotta watch where you're goin'
C

remember where you've been,

that's the way I see it I'm a simple man.

  • 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.
