    Well, 
    it star
    ted in 
    Vienna, 

    not so 
    many years 
    ago, 

    when 
    not enough 
    folks were 

    getting sick

    That a 
    starving 
    young physician 

    tried 
    to 
    better his 
    posi
    tion 

    by 
    discovering 
    what 

    made his 
    pa
    tients 
    tick. 

    He 
    forgot 
    about 
    sclerosis 

    and inven
    ted 
    the psychosis 

    and 
    hundred ways 
    that 
    sex 

    could be 
    en
    joyed. 

    He adop
    ted as 
    his 
    credo 

    down repres
    sion 
    of libido 

    and that 
    was the 
    start 
    of Dr. 

    Sigmund 
    Freud. 

    Well, 
    Dr. 
    Freud, 
    Dr. 
    Freud, 

    Dr. 
    Freud, 
    Dr. 
    Freud 

    How 
    we 
    wish you 
    had been 

    differently 
    employed 

    But 
    the 
    set 
    of circumstances 

    still en
    hances 

    The finances 
    of the 
    followers 

    of 
    Dr. 
    Sigmund 
    Freud 

    Well, 
    he analyzed 
    the 
    dreams 

    of the 
    teens 
    and libertines 

    Substituted 
    monologue 
    for 
    pills 

    He 
    drew 
    crowds 
    just like 
    Wells Sadler 

    When 
    along 
    came Jung 
    and Adler 

    And they 
    said, 

    by 
    God, there's 
    gold 
    in them thar 
    ills 

    They 
    encountered 
    no resistance 

    when they 
    served 
    as Freud's 
    assistants 

    As 
    with ego 
    and with 
    it they 
    deftly 
    toyed 

    But 
    in
    stead of 
    totin' 
    bedpans, 

    they 
    wore analytic 
    bedpans 

    Those 
    ambitious 
    doc
    tors 

    Edgar 
    Young 
    and 
    Freud 

    Well, 
    Dr. 
    Freud 
    Dr. 
    Freud 

    Was 
    marching 
    in 

    Was 
    marching 
    in 

    How we 
    wish you 
    had been 

    differently 
    em
    ployed 

    But 
    the 
    set 
    of circumstances 

    still en
    hances 
    the finances 

    Of the 
    followers 
    of 
    Dr. 
    Sigmund 
    Freud 

    Now 
    the 
    big three 
    have 
    departed, 

    but not 
    so 
    the cult 
    they started, 

    no, 
    it's being 
    carried 

    on by 
    a woodly 
    band 

    And 
    to 
    trauma 
    shock 
    and war 
    shock, 

    someone's 
    gone and added 
    Rorschach, 

    and 
    the thing 
    has 

    got completely 
    out of 
    hand 

    So 
    old 
    boys with 
    double 
    chinsies 

    and a 
    thousand 
    would -be 
    kinsies, 

    they 
    dis
    cuss it 
    at the 

    drop of 
    a repression 

    And 
    wouldn't 
    be complaining, 

    but for 
    all 
    the loot I'm 
    paying, 

    just to 
    lie on 
    someone's 

    couch and 
    say 
    con
    fession 

    Well, 
    Dr. 
    Freud, 
    cha -cha 
    -cha, 

    oh, Dr. 
    Freud, 
    cha -cha 
    -cha, 

    how 
    we 
    wish you 
    had been 

    differently 
    em
    ployed. 

    But 
    the 
    set of 
    circumstances 

    still 
    en
    hances 
    the finances 

    of the 
    followers 
    of 
    Dr. 
    Sigmund 
    Freud. 

    Stop 
    it. 

    But 
    the 
    set 
    of 
    circumstances 

    still 
    en
    hances 
    the 
    fin
    ances... 

    Well, 
    that was beautiful, 
    fellas. 

    Of the 
    fol
    lowers of 
    Dr. Sigmund 
    Freud, 

    cha 
    -cha -cha! 

    Chad Mitchell 
    Trio. 

    The 
    next artist 
    is 
    a young 
    woman 

    all 
    of us in 
    the field 
    of folk music 

    referred 
    to 
    as the 
    first 
    lady 

    of 
    the folk song. 

    I had 
    the pleasure of working 
    with her 

    after 
    many 
    years of admiring 
    her 

    on 
    a television show 

    that we did 
    last 
    season. 

    Those 
    of us who 
    know her 

    and 
    those 
    of us who love 
    her 

    call 
    her 
    Odetta.

    • 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.
