    Verse 1

    Seymour 
    was 
    a work 
    of art 

    Always 
    getting 
    into 
    trouble 

    Never 
    met 
    a lass 
    he 
    didn’t love 

    Never 
    loved 
    a lass 
    that 
    didn’t have 

    a hubba 
    hubba 
    hubba 
    hubba 

    Verse 2
    Seymour 
    wasn’t very 
    smart 

    So he 
    soon 
    got 
    a reputation 

    A list 
    of suitors 
    with 
    reservations 

    To send 
    him 
    on 
    a permanent 
    vacation 

    He 
    said 

    Verse 3
    will live 
    to fight 
    another 
    day 

    I’ll sing 
    a song 
    and soon 

    be on 
    my 
    way 

    My journey 
    may 
    be long 
    before 
    I’m done 

    So 
    won’t you play 
    the drums? 

    Interlude 1


    Sey
    mour 
    met 
    Verse 4
    a girl 
    named 
    Phil 

    Phil 
    was 
    sweet 
    as honey 

    She 
    liked 
    fancy 
    things 

    But Sey
    mour 
    didn’t have 
    no money 

    Verse 5
    money 
    money 
    money 

    Soon 
    she stole 
    his heart 

    And 
    ac
    quired 
    a knack 
    for thieving 

    So 
    when the 
    cop
    pers 
    broke 

    down 
    the front 
    door 

    Sey
    mour 
    was 
    outback 
    leaving 

    leavin’ leavin’ leavin’ 

    Verse 6
    I will live 
    to love 
    another 
    day 

    I’ll sing 
    a simple 
    song 
    to ease 
    my 
    pain 

    My 
    journey 
    may 
    be long 
    to 
    sweeter 
    shores 

    So 
    won’t you play 
    the horns? 

    Verse 7

    On 
    the 
    road 
    to 
    better 
    place 

    Bells 
    ring, 
    birds 
    sing 

    Nightly 
    Verse 8
    dreaming 
    of those 
    pearly 
    gates 

    How 
    long 
    must 
    we 
    roam 

    ‘Til I can 
    go 
    home 

    Interlude 2

    Seymour 
    got 
    it in 
    his head 
    Verse 9

    To change 
    his 
    sinful 
    ways 

    Become 
    a man 
    of the 
    cloth 

    No 
    longer 
    would 
    he stra-ay-ay-ay 

    Verse 10
    But 
    But 
    But But 
    on 
    his 
    way 
    to church 

    Seymour 
    received 
    a sign 

    A messenger 
    from 
    the good 
    Lord 

    In red 
    high 
    heels 
    with 
    blue ooh 
    eyes 

    He 
    said, I 
    will praise 
    Verse 11

    the Lord 
    in my 
    own 
    way 

    And 
    rev
    el 
    in his 
    creation 
    every
    day 

    My journey 
    may 
    require 
    me 
    some 
    grace 

    So 
    let 
    the choir 
    sing 

    Verse 12

    On 
    the 
    road 
    to 
    better 
    place 

    Bells 
    ring, 
    birds 
    sing 

    Verse 13
    Nightly 
    dreaming 
    of those 
    pearly 
    gates 

    How 
    long 
    must 
    roam 

    ‘Til I 
    can 
    go 
    home

    • 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.
