Verse 1
D
Well, I had two weeks
of vacation time coming
G
After working all year down at Big
D
Roy's Heating And Plumbing
Am
So one night when my family the I were
gathered 'round the dinner table
D
I said, "Kids, if you could go anywhere
in this great big world, now
G
Where'd you like to go ta"
D
C
They said, "Dad, we want to see the biggest
G
D
ball of twine in Minnesota"
C
They picked the biggest ball
G
D
of twine in Minnesota
Verse 2
D
So the very next day we
loaded up the car
G
D
With potato skins and pickled wieners,
Crossword puzzles, Spider- Man comics,
A
and mama's home made rhubarb pie
D
G
Pulled out of the driveway and the neighbors,
Gm
they all waved good- bye
D
A
And so began our three day journey
Verse 3
D
G
We picked up a guy holding a sign
that said "twine ball or bust"
D
He smelled real bad and he
A
D
said his name was Bernie
C
I put in a Slim Whitman tape,
D
my wife put on a brand new hair net
C
Kids were in the back seat
D
jumping up and down,
Yelling "Are we there yet?"
G
Em
And all of us were joined together
D
Bm
in one common thought
A
As we rolled down the long and winding
D
interstate in our '53 DeSoto
C
We're gonna see the biggest ball
G
D
of twine in Minnesota
C
We're headin' for the biggest
G
ball of twine in Minnesota
D
Verse 4
Oh, we couldn't wait to get there
G
So we drove straight through
D
for three whole days and nights
Of course, we stopped for more
A
pickled wieners now and then
D
The scenery was just so pretty,
G
boy I wish the kids could of seen it
D
But you can't see out
of the side of the car
A
Because the windows are
completely covered
D
With the decals of all the place where
A
D
we've already been
Verse 5
G
D
There's Elvis- O- Rama,
the Tupperware Museum,
A
The Boll Weevil Monument,
D
and Cranberry World,
G
The Shuffleboard Hall Of Fame,
D
Poodle Dog Rock,
E
A
And The Mecca of Albino Squirrels
G
We've been to ghost towns,
D
theme parks, wax museums,
A
And a place where you can drive
D
through the middle of a tree
G
D
We've seen alligator farms and tarantula ranches,
E
But there's still one
A
thing we gotta see
Verse 6
D
Well, we crossed the state
line about 6:39
G
And we saw a sign that said "Twine
D
Ball exit - 50 miles"
Oh, the kids were so happy the
started singing
G
"99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall"
D
for the 27th time that day
So, we pulled off the road at the
last chance gas station
G
Got a few more pickled wieners and a
D
diet chocolate soda
C
On our way to see the biggest ball
G
D
of twine in Minnesota
C
We're gonna see the biggest ball
G
of twine in Minnesota
D
Verse 7
D
G
Finally, at 7:37 early Wednesday
evening as the sun was setting
D
C
G
In the Minnesota sky
D
Out in the distance, on the horizon,
G
it appeared to me like a vision
D
Before my unbelieving eye
I parked the car and walked with awe-
C
G
filled reverence towards that
D
Glorious huge majestic sphere
I was just so overwhelmed
C
G
by its sheer immensity,
D
I had to pop myself a beer
G
Yes, on these hallowed grounds,
C
G
open ten to eight on weekdays,
D
In a little shrine under a make- shift pagoda,
C
There sits the biggest ball
G
of twine in Minnesota
D
C
I tell you, it's the biggest
G
ball of twine in Minnesota
Verse 8
D
C
G
Oh, what on earth would make a man
D
C
G
decide to do that kind of thing?
D
C
Oh, windin' up twenty- one thousand,
G
D
C
G
one hundred forty pounds of string
D
What was he trying to prove,
C
G
who was he trying to impress
D
Why did he build it, how did he do,
C
G
it was anybody's guess
D
Where did he get the twine,
C
G
what was goin' through his mind
C
G
Did it just seem like a good
A
idea at the time
Verse 9
D
Well, we walked up beside it and I
warned the kids
G
"Now, you better not touch it,
D
those ropes are there for a reason"
I said, "Maybe if you're good,
G
I'll tie it to the back of our car
And we can take it home",
D
but I was only teasin'
Then we went to the gift
shop and stood in line
C
G
Bought a souvenir miniature ball of twine,
D
some window decals,
G
And anything else they'd sell us
D
And we bought a couple post cards,
"Greetings from the twine ball,
Wish you were here"
A
D
Won't the folks back home be jealous
Verse 10
G
D
I gave our camera to Bernie and we stood
A
by the ball and we all gathered
D
'round and said, "Cheese"
G
The Bernie ran away with my
D
brand new Insti- Matic,
E
A
But at least we got our memories
D
Then we all just stared at the ball for a
G
while and my eyes got moist,
D
But I said with a smile, "Kids,
A
this here's what America's all about"
D
Then I started feelin' kinda gooey
G
inside and I fell on my knees
And I cried and cried
D
And that's when those secur
A
D
ity guards threw us out
You know,
G
I bet if we unraveled that sucker,
C
G
It'd roll all the way down to Fargo,
D
North Dakota
C
'Cause it's the biggest ball
G
of twine in Minnesota
D
C
I'm talkin' 'bout the biggest ball
G
D
of twine in Minnesota
Verse 11
D
Well, we stayed that night
at the Twine Ball Inn
G
In the morning we were
on our way home again
D
But we really didn't want to leave,
A
that was perfectly clear
D
I said, "Folks,
I can tell you're all sad to go"
G
Gm
Then I winked my eye and I said, "You know,
D
I got a funny kind of feelin'
A
We'll be comin' back again
D
next year"
G
'Cause I've been all around
this great big world
C
And I can't think of anywhere
G
D
else I'd rather go to
C
G
Than the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota
D
C
I said the biggest ball
G
D
of twine in Minnesota
Bb
Minnesota
G
Minnesota
D
Minnesota

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
