Verse 1
Em

Well you play that tarantella,
Am

all the hounds will start to roar
B

The boys all go to hell
Em

and then the Cubans hit the floor

They drive along the pipeline,
Am

they tango till they're sore
B

They take apart their nightmares
Em

and they leave 'em by the door
Chorus 1
Am

Let me fall out of the window
B

with confetti in my hair
Em

Deal out Jacks or better
Am

on a blanket by the stairs
B

I'll tell you all my secrets,
Em

but I lie about my past
Am
B
Em

And send me off to bed forevermore
Verse 2
Em

Make sure they play my theme song,
Am

I guess daisies will have to do
B

Just get me to New Orleans
Em

and paint shadows on the pews

Turn the spit on that pig
Am

and kick the drum and let me down
B

Put my clarinet beneath your bed
Em

till I get back in town
Chorus 2
Am

Let me fall out of the window
B

with confetti in my hair
Em

Deal out Jacks or better
Am

on a blanket by the stairs
B

I'll tell you all my secrets,
Em

but I lie about my past
Am
B
Em

So send me off to bed forevermore
Verse 3
Em

Just make sure she's she's all in Calico
Am

and the color of a doll
B

Wave the flag on Cadillac Day
Em

and a skillet on the wall
Am

Cut me a switch or hold your breath

till the sun goes down
B

Write my name on the hood,
Em

send me off to another town
Chorus 3
Am

And just let me fall out of the window
B

with confetti in my hair
Em

Deal out Jacks or better
Am

on a blanket by the stairs
B

Tell you all my secrets,
Em

but I lie about my past
Am
B
Em

Will you send me off to bed forevermore?
Chorus 4
Am

Fall out of the window
B

with confetti in my hair
Em

Deal out Jacks or better
Am

on a blanket by the stairs
B

I'll tell you all my secrets,
Em

but I lie about my past
Am
B
Em

Send me off to bed forevermore
Am
B
Em

Send me off to bed forevermore

  • 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.
