It was late

last

Friday evening,
G
Dm

there was nobody home but me

Turned up every light in the house,

I turned up the

TV

Channel 5 was a snowstorm,

7 was said and done

Channel 13's a nightmare,
F

theater was the only thing on
G
Dm

Oh, no, no, no, no
Am
Dm

Well, all through that movie

The sound came more and more

Sounds like tapping on the window

It sounds like footsteps

across the floor

Knew that it was watching me

As I figured in my head

How long it would take

to flip the switch

and run to bed

But you better not
F

run too slow
G

It's gonna get to you if it can,
D
Dm
Am
Dm

that's the book of man.

You won't see me move no faster

than when I jump in bed.

Won't see my face till morning,

I keep my covers across my head.

Gets kinda hot and stuffy

while I pray for my soul.

So I don't get to how to

make a little breathing hole,
F

But I don't make it too big
G

It's gonna get you if it can
Dm

It's the, the

Boogeyman

G
Dm
Am

Well he's out there somewhere
G
Dm

I can feel his eyes as they're

sliding down my backbone

I can ask you,
G
Am
Dm

well there's a short sound
Am
Dm

And the scraping sound of closets

coming right from underneath my bed
F

And I can feel it every time my heart beats
G

All they'll find in the morning

are my empty sheets
Dm

Start again now,
Am

Verse 2
Dm

Well, I found out where his dungeon is

My brother bargained hard in his teens

But he spilled the beans

for three steelies

And a

Willie

Mays card

He said, go down the

Taylor

Swamp

Through the tangled vines and mud

And call the sound of his faucets

They're always dripping blood
F

But you'd better not go at night
G

It's gonna get spooky
Dm
Am
Dm

G

Dm

Don't you know his dungeon's

made of fingernails and bones

From all the kids he drug from beds and

tracked them to their homes

He's got little legs on his tables,

little hands on his clumsy

Take a couple of belly buttons and you

stretch them out for socks
F

And it's not very nice
G

It's gonna get you if it can't
Dm

You better not talk about it
G

Man
Dm

Well I'm not afraid of dying

We're fast or slow

And I'm not afraid of

Sunday school

I cannot stand to go
G
Dm

Tell one midnight story,
Am

full of nocturnal things
Dm

Gonna wet my mattress, brother,

clean me through to the springs
F

And I'll be lying cold and wet with fright
G

Oh, but I won't move all night
Dm

Cause I'm a little bit of a

  • 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.
