    Verse 1
    Davenports 
    and 
    kettle 
    drums 

    And 
    swallowtail 
    coats 

    Table
    cloths 
    and 
    patent 

    leather 
    shoes 

    Bathing 
    suits 
    and 
    bowling 
    balls 

    And 
    clarinets 
    and 
    rings 

    And 
    all 
    this 
    radio 
    really 
    needs 

    is 
    a 
    fuse 

    Chorus 1
    A 
    tinker, 
    a 
    tailor, 
    a 
    sol
    dier's 
    things 

    His 
    rifle, 
    his 
    boots 
    full 
    of 
    rocks 

    Verse 2
    And 
    this 
    one 
    is 
    for 
    bravery 

    and 
    this 
    one 
    is 
    for 
    me 

    And 
    everything's 
    a 
    dollar 
    in 
    this 
    box 


    Cuff 
    links 
    and 
    hubcaps 

    Trophies 
    and 
    paperbacks 

    It's 
    good 
    transportation 

    But 
    the 
    brakes 
    aren't 
    so 
    hot 

    Neck
    ties 
    and 
    boxing 
    gloves 

    This 
    jackknife 
    is 
    rusted 

    You 
    can 
    pound 
    that 
    dent 

    out 
    the 
    hood 

    Chorus 2
    A 
    tinker 
    or 
    tailor, 
    a 
    sol
    dier's 
    things 

    His 
    rifle, 
    his 
    boots 
    full 
    of 
    rocks 

    Outro 1
    Oh, 
    and 
    this 
    one 
    is 
    for 
    bravery, 

    oh, 
    and 
    this 
    one 
    is 
    for 
    me 

    And 
    everything's 
    a 
    dollar 
    in 
    this 
    box

    • 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.”
