    Verse 1
    I 
    wanna 
    tell 
    you 

    about 
    my 
    mountain 
    home 

    Where 
    all 
    the 
    ladies 
    names 
    are 
    Joan 

    Where 
    husband 
    works 
    back 
    late 
    at 
    night 

    Hopes 
    are 
    up 
    for 
    trousers 
    down 

    With 
    hostess 
    on 
    a 
    business 
    flight 

    Oh, 
    taxi 
    in 
    a 
    Mercedes 
    drive 

    I 
    hope 
    that 
    driver's 
    coming 
    out 
    alive 

    The 
    garden 
    it 
    is 
    dorsetted 

    That 
    lady 
    she's 
    so 
    corseted 

    She's 
    got 
    15 
    ways 
    to 
    lead 
    that 
    boy 
    astray 

    He 
    thinks 
    he's 
    one 
    and 
    only 

    But 
    that 
    lovely 
    she's 
    so 
    lonely 

    She 
    pumps 
    him 
    full 
    of 
    breakfast 

    and 
    she 
    sends 
    him 
    on 
    his 
    way 

    Pre-chorus 1
    What 
    a 
    sing 
    song 
    dance 

    What 
    a 
    performance 

    What 
    a 
    cheap 
    tent 
    show 

    Oh 
    no 
    no 
    no 
    no 
    no 


    Chorus 1
    Then

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
