Verse 2
D
Well my throat was dry and I was
getting' late
A
G
And I was at this bat
on the interstate
A
When this guy with a bird on
D
his shoulder walked in the door
And he proceeded to tell
me the strangest thing
G
He said, "Sir this bird of mine can
D
A
sing like no other bird
You've never heard before!"

Well I just looked at the guy
and said "Oh really?"

G
And he turned to the bird and
said"Do ole Willie"
A
When that bird started singing
D
I almost hit the floor.
G
Whiskey River take my mind
D
Don't let her memory torture me
A
Whiskey River don't run dry
D
You're all I got to take care of me
Well if that ain't the durndest thing
I thought, son, what a heck of a thing
G
A man could get rich
making that bird sing
A
And I could feel this wild idear
D
comin' on strong
I said, "I'm just sittin'
here with two weeks pay
G
And I'd probably blow it
all anyway
A
I'll buy that bird If he'll do
one more song."
D
Maybe I didn't hold you quite as
G
often as I should have
C
You were always on my mind

I'd like to buy that bird
A
Would $500.00 take him off

your hands?"
Well, he thought for a while and he said,
"alright"
G
He handed me the bird and he said
D
"goodnight"
A
Counted the money and out
D
E
the door he ran
I was thinkin' I'd found
the rainbow's end
A
My ship would soon be rolling in
B
When that bird sailed out the door
E
And he was gone
And as I watched him leave I
got boilin' mad
A
'Cause I knew right then
that I'd been had
B
And as he faded in the night
E
he was singing this song
On the road again

I just can't wait to get on the road again

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.”
