Slow John Fairburn chords by 
Jimmy Dean 
N/A•
Key: G major•BPM: 76
Intro 1
G
Verse 1
G
Now, our hometown's
a little old town,
and never much going on.
A
Well, I've seen the whole town turn out
Em
A
just to listen to an organ grinder song.
C
Cm
But a bunch of us rotten old boys
C
that ride motorcycles
D
started spreading the rumor around
G
that it would really be funny
to see old Slow John Fairburn
D
A
G
take a motorcycle ride around town.
Now Slow John's oh
I guess 70 years old
A
and plays checkers down on the square
and I've never seen him do anything
faster than a walk
C
and at times he'll slow that down a hair.
D
So we went around collecting some money
G
and came up with a hundred dollar bill
And we let it be known
that come Saturday
Em
F#
G
would be Slow John's show and tell.
Well, Saturday rolled around
and it was kind of hot,
A
but it looked like the whole town came,
and they all gathered
Em
around old Pete Jones
C
and Slow John's checker game.
D
We came roaring up on those motorcycles
G
an d the motor revving up loud,
And we plopped our money
down on the checker table
Em
G
an d a snicker kind of went
through the crowd
Slow John looked at the crowd
D
and then he looked at the money,
A
Em
and I don't think he got uptight
A
Em
an d Pete Jones says well John
A
it looks like it's your move
C
an d old John says you know what
I think you're right
D
Well, he hitched up his britches,
and he spit in his hands
G
and Said could I borrow your
D
bike for a while?
Em
D
And he said, by the way,
G
would you women and children
kind of stand back?
And I swear I saw him smile.
A
He said, okay, boys,
I need me something wet.
C
And he downed the beer.
D
And he picked up a flower
from a nearby shrub,
G
and he stuck it behind his ear.
Well, he kicked down on that
motorcycle starter
A
and that motor kicked into a roar,
C
D
and he showered down Haas
G
and he laid a strip of rubber
A
all the way to the grocery store.
C
Women were screaming
D
and dogs started barking,
G
the kids were getting a thrill,
A
C
cause he made Evel Knievel look
D
like he needed training wheels.
G
He popped himself a wheelie
A
across that courthouse lawn,
and he roared right up
C
D
the front stairs.
G
An old lady stobs up at the highway department,
fainted,
and fell right across the chair.
A
Well John picked up his money
G
and he said with a grin,
A
G
enjoyed the ride boys, thanks a lot.
D
G
And old Pete laughed and said,
boys, I could have told you,
but I think you needed a lesson or two,
because you see, Slow John Fairbairn
was motorcycle champ
C
D
in 30, 31, and 32.
G

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

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.”
