    [Flute] 



    Interlude 1

    Verse 1
    You could 
    have 
    a 
    steam 
    train 

    If 
    you'd 
    just 
    lay 
    down 
    your 
    tracks 

    You 
    could 
    have 
    an 
    aeroplane 
    flying 

    If 
    you 
    bring 
    your 
    blue 
    sky 
    back 

    All 
    you 
    do 
    is 
    call 
    me 

    I'll 
    be 
    anything 
    you 
    need 

    Verse 2
    You could 
    have 
    a 
    big 
    dipper 

    Going 
    up 
    and 
    down, 
    all 
    around 
    the 
    bends 

    You 
    could 
    have 
    a 
    bumper 
    car, 
    bumping 

    This 
    amusement 
    never 
    ends 

    Chorus 1
    I 
    want 
    to 
    be 
    your 
    sledge
    hammer 

    Why 
    don't 
    you 
    call 
    my 
    name? 

    Oh 
    let 
    me 
    be 
    your 
    sledgehammer 

    This 
    will 
    be 
    my 
    testimony 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 3
    Show 
    me 
    round 
    your 
    fruit 
    cakes 

    'Cause 
    I 
    will 
    be 
    your 
    honey 
    bee 

    Open 
    up 
    your 
    fruit 
    cakes 

    Where 
    the 
    fruit 
    is 
    as 
    sweet 
    as 
    can 
    be 


    Chorus 2
    I 
    want 
    to 
    be 
    your 
    sledge
    hammer 

    Why 
    don't 
    you 
    call 
    my 
    name? 

    You'd 
    better 
    call 
    the 
    sledgehammer 

    Put 
    your 
    mind 
    at 
    rest 

    Chorus 3
    I'm 
    going 
    to 
    be 
    the 
    sledge
    hammer 

    This 
    can 
    be 
    my 
    testimony 

    I'm 
    your 
    sledgehammer 

    Let 
    there 
    be 
    no 
    doubt 
    about 
    it

    Interlude 4


    Bridge 1
    I 
    kicked 
    the 
    habit 

    Shed 
    my 
    skin 

    This 
    is 
    the 
    new 
    stuff 

    I 
    go 
    dancing 
    in 

    Oh 
    won't 
    you 
    show 
    for 
    me 

    I 
    will 
    show 
    for 
    you 

    Show 
    for 
    me 

    I 
    will 
    show 
    for 
    you 

    Yea, 
    yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah 

    Outro 1
    I 
    do 
    mean 
    you 

    Only 
    you, 
    you've 
    been 
    coming 
    through 

    Going 
    to 
    build 
    that 
    power 

    Build, 
    build 
    up 
    that 
    power, 
    hey 

    I've 
    been 
    feeding 
    the 
    rhythm 

    I've 
    been 
    feeding 
    the 
    rhythm 

    Going 
    to 
    feel 
    that 
    power, 
    build 
    in 
    you 

    Come 
    on, 
    come 
    on, 
    help 
    me 
    do 

    Come 
    on, 
    come 
    on, 
    help 
    me 
    do 

    Yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah, 
    yeah, 

    yeah, 
    yeah, 
    you 

    I've 
    been 
    feeding 
    the 
    rhythm 

    I've 
    been 
    feeding 
    the 
    rhythm 

    It's

    we're 
    doing,

      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

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
