    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
    F


    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
    C

    We gotta have a home,
    F

    gotta have a home"
    Verse 3
    F


    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"
    C

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

    -o-o-o, o-o-ome"
    Verse 4
    C
    F

    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
    C

    Searchin' for a home,
    F

    I'd have me plenty of home"
    Verse 5
    F


    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
    C

    I'm gonna take me a home,
    F

    gotta have a home"
    Verse 6
    F

    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
    C

    Lookin' for a home
    F

    Lookin' for a home
    C

    Ah you'd have a home alright,
    F

    you'd a home
    C

    A real hot home"

    • 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.
