Verse 1
G
The Continuing Story
C
Em
G
Em
G
of the Skinny Little Boy Shazam,
C
Em
G
feelin' grand, guess I'll mosey into town
Raise hell all around,
F
C
I'm gonna have a good time
G
Damn, you bet I am out to
Em
G
boogie till I'm blind
I got a quarter dollar wine,
get myself primed
C
Runnin' down the road,
I got the back tire smokin'
The highway is open, not a cop in sight
C#
D
No red light flashin's gonna
hamper my actions
My path is clear and
then my timing's right
G
And I'm a skinny little boy
C
G
From Cleveland, Ohio
D
G
C
Come chase your women
G
Em
G
C
And drink your beer
G
C
Second gear down Main Street
Em
G
And roaring into town
F
Women, grab your children
C
Em
G
Bolt the doors and shut her down
F
Peeking out from windows
C
G
While the menfolk pray
They speak in frightened whispers
And the weak ones faint
C
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
Is it a demon in the air?
Or a fire -breathin', baby -eatin',
mother -beatin' bear?
C#
D
Is it murder?
Is it rape?
Is it the Watergate tapes?
Or a mere hallucination
caused by folks from outer space?
G
D
No, it's a skinny little boy
G
from Cleveland, Ohio.
D
He's come to chase your women
G
Em
G
an d drink your beer.
F
Oh my, and here he are,
C
G
you see him stridin' to the bar.
He got a girl on every arm
F
Em
G
and three or four to spare.
F
Yeah, ain't he neat?
C
G
Dressed to kill from head to feet.
The tavern quiets down
people staring disbelief
C
you got chrome -plated platforms
nine inches high
Batteries in the soul
with neon lights on the side
C#
D
Pad ding leather jacket
with a picture on the back
It's Marilyn in the nude
with some writing on her ass
G
D
that says skinny little boy from Cleveland,
Ohio
F
He's come to chase your women
D
G
Bb
C
F
and drink your beer
C
G
F
stand aside from the bar
D
A
D
if you haven't come to drink
G
C
throw your water in the sink
Em
G
you give me whiskey in my glass
F
the bourbon tastes mean but
Em
it sure beats
G
Listerine to get your breath twice as
clean and high twice as fast
C
run out of wild turkey
Jack Daniels is fine
keep your gin and tonic
C#
D
your old rep of wine tequila in
a pinch or even vodkas alright
I got a roaring in my ears
and I got a burnin' in my eyes,
G
and I'm a skinny little boy
D
C
From Cleveland, Ohio,
G
come to drink your women
Em
And chase your bear
G
Em
G
Well, people,
F
now you know my story,
C
Em
G
an d you're aware of my curse
And how this decent model
F
citizen
Em
G
was changed by lust and thirst
Take heed of my warning,
F
C
you walk the straight and
Em
G
narrow trail
You shun the gaily painted ladies,
bright lights, and booze as well
C
You'll be sittin' all alone,
watchin' TV home in bed
Your skin will start to prickle
D
and your hands will start to sweat
C#
D
You reach for the bottle
just sure as I stand
You raise it to your lips,
take a drink, and then shazam!
G
You're a skinny little boy
From Cleveland, Ohio,
you go chasing down the women
D
And drinking up the beer
G
C
G
Boom, boom, boom, boo -doom

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.”
