    Chorus 1
    Look 
    for 
    the 
    bare 
    necessities 

    The 
    simple 
    bare 
    ne
    cessities 

    Forget 
    about 
    your 
    worries 
    and 
    your 
    strife 

    mean 
    the 
    bare 
    necessities 

    Old 
    Mother 
    Nature's 
    recipes 

    That 
    brings 
    the 
    bare 
    ne
    cessi
    ties 
    of 
    life 

    Verse 1
    Wherever 
    wander, 
    wherever 
    roam 

    couldn't 
    be 
    fonder 
    of 
    my 
    big 
    home 

    The 
    bees 
    are 
    buzzin' 
    in 
    the 
    tree 

    To 
    make 
    some 
    honey 
    just 
    for 
    me 

    When 
    you 
    look 
    under 
    the 
    rocks 
    and 
    plants 

    And 
    take 
    glance 
    at 
    the 
    fancy 
    ants 

    Then 
    maybe 
    try 
    few 


    The 
    bare 
    ne
    cessities 
    of 
    life 

    will 
    come 
    to 
    you 

    They'll 
    come 
    to 
    you! 

    Chorus 2
    Look 
    for 
    the 
    bare 
    necessities 

    The 
    simple 
    bare 
    ne
    cessities 

    Forget 
    about 
    your 
    worries 
    and 
    your 
    strife 

    mean 
    the 
    bare 
    necessities 

    That's 
    why 
    bear 
    can 
    rest 
    at 
    ease 

    With 
    just 
    the 
    bare 
    ne
    cessi
    ties 
    of 
    life 

    Verse 2
    Now 
    when 
    you 
    pick 
    pawpaw 

    Or 
    prickly 
    pear 

    And 
    you 
    prick 
    raw 
    paw 

    Next 
    time 
    be
    ware 

    Don't 
    pick 
    the 
    prickly 
    pear 
    by 
    the 
    paw 

    When 
    you 
    pick 
    pear 
    Try 
    to 
    use 
    the 
    claw 

    But 
    you 
    don't 
    need 
    to 
    use 
    the 
    claw 

    When 
    you 
    pick 
    pear 
    of 
    the 
    big 
    paw
    paw 

    Have 
    given 
    you 
    clue? 


    The 
    bare 
    ne
    cessities 
    of 
    life 

    will 
    come 
    to 
    you 

    They'll 
    come 
    to 
    you!

    • 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.
