    Verse 1
    Let 
    me tell 
    you 
    a story 
    about 
    a boll 

    weevil 

    Now, 
    some 
    of 
    you may 
    not 
    know 

    But 
    a boll 
    weevil 
    is 
    an insect 

    And 
    he's 
    found 
    mostly 

    where cotton 
    grows 

    Now, 
    where 
    they 
    comes 
    from, 

    hm, 
    nobody 
    really 
    knows 

    Verse 2
    But 
    this 
    is the 
    way 
    the story 
    goes 


    The farmer 
    said 
    to 
    the boll 
    weevil 

    "I 
    see 
    you're 
    on 
    the square" 

    Boll 
    weevil 
    said 
    to 
    the farmer 

    "Say 
    yep, 
    my 
    whole 
    darn 
    family's 
    here 

    We 
    gotta 
    have 
    a

    gotta 
    have 
    a 
    home" 

    Verse 3

    The farmer 
    said 
    to 
    the boll 
    weevil 

    "Say, 
    why 
    do 
    you 
    pick 
    my 
    farm" 

    The weevil 
    just 
    laughed 
    at the 

    farmer 
    'n' said 

    "We 
    ain't 
    gonna 
    do you 

    much 
    harm" 

    We're 
    lookin' 
    for 
    a 
    ho-o-o-o-o,-o-o-o, 

    -o-o-o, o-o-ome" 

    Verse 4
    And And And 
    And And 
    And And And 
    And And 
    And 

    And the 
    boll 
    weevil 
    spotted 
    a lightning 
    bug 

    He said 
    "Hey, 

    I'd like 
    to 
    make 
    a trade 
    with 
    you 

    'Cause 
    you see 
    if I 
    was 
    a lightning 
    bug 

    I'd 
    search 
    the whole 
    night 
    through 

    Searchin' 
    for a 
    home, 

    I'd 
    have 
    me 
    plenty 
    of 
    home" 

    Verse 5

    And the 
    boll 
    weevil 
    called 
    the farmer, 

    'n' 
    he 
    said 

    "You better 
    sell 
    your 
    old 
    machines 

    'Cause 
    when I'm 
    through 

    with your 
    cotton 

    Heh, 
    you 
    can't 
    even 
    buy 
    gasoline 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    take 
    me 
    a home, 

    gotta 
    have 
    a 
    home" 

    Verse 6
    And 
    the 
    boll 
    weevil 
    said 
    to the 
    farmer, 

    Says 
    "Farmer, 

    I'd 
    like 
    to 
    wish 
    you 
    well" 

    Farmer 
    said 
    to the 
    boll 
    weevil 

    "Yeah, 
    an' 
    I 
    wish 
    that you 
    were in 

    Lookin' 
    for 
    a 
    home 

    Lookin' 
    for 
    a home 

    Ah 
    you'd 
    have 
    a 
    home 
    alright, 

    you'd 
    a 
    home 

    A 
    real 
    hot 
    home"

      "

      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.

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
