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.”
The Chattanooga Shoot Shoot chords by 
Darren Hanlon

Verse 1
D
G
A
D
I was far from home and lost and lonely,
namelessly bouncing around.
Spent too much time
and money in this little
Georgia town.
G
And nothing lights a fire,
just like running out of cash.
D
Well, I had enough to buy a one
-way ticket back to
Nashville.
A
To a bed I know, owned by a friend
who's learned it the hard way.
D
If you invite me in for coffee,
G
I'll unpack my bag and stay
A
D
Just like poor
Blanche
Dubois, I've also come to put my faith in
The charity of strangers and
honest transportation
G
So I find myself aboard this silver
bullet budget bus
D
With that creepy guy in sunglasses
down the back looking sus
A
And that old woman with her
belongings in a busted plastic bag
And all the
D
Nicol team devotees marked
the time to take a drag
A
D
We'd only just left
Chattanooga town
and I thought it prudent
To sit beside this young and wholesome
graduating college student
G
She was pondering where best
to go to do her
PhD
D
She said she had two options,
Australia or
Italy
A
I said, well, that's a no -brainer,
you better come study with us
D
That's about the time we both
G
heard something hit the bus
A
D
I counted six loud popping thuds
that came in quick succession
A
G
F#
They went, that's my im pression
G
I innocently thought I'd kiss
just throwin' rocks for fun
D
But the guy sat up the back yelled,
Them be shots fired from a gun
A
And everyone stopped talkin'
And we all looked at each other
D
Not knowin' if to ride ourselves
G
a wheel or duck for cover
A
D
Then underneath the small explosion
The engine gave a hellish roar
Like when the stick slips outta
gear
And your foot's flat to the floor
G
Then the bus lost all control
And started swerving across the freeway
D
Just missed the concrete barrier
With about two metres leeway
A
I was seeing the gruesome shots
They'd use for the morning edition
D
Then someone be hind me moaned
We assumed the crash position
F#
Oh my god
I did not know
G
That this was how
D
I was meant to go
F#
I said, oh my
God, please save my neck
G
A
Don't want to die in this burning wreck
D
The driver kept her nerve,
she had all our souls to save
She stopped short on the verge of
what might have been our grave
G
Now everybody's thrilled as if
they've just been in the movies
D
They're calling up their families saying,
guess what just happened to me
A
Within ten minutes flat,
soon as you heard the sirens wail,
D
We're hemmed all around by squad cars,
flashing like
Boxing
Day sale.
A
Officer
D
Friendly got on board,
took out his pad to take some names,
Patting the heads of children,
and flirting with the dames,
G
He said, tell me now if any of
you've come to any harm,
He had
John
D
Chapter 317 tattooed along his arm,
A
He said, you can go stretch your legs
now, you might be sitting for some time
D
So I jumped off with the smokers and
from there surveyed the crime
First shot it grazed off the flank,
the second barely missed the tank
G
The third shot went right through and
A
lodged into the toilet door
D
The fourth shot pierced the luggage lock,
A
the fifth shot struck the engine block
Then the six shot popped the tire
and then it shredded to the core
D
After a while little bits of
the story filtered through
The shooter had been local and
the cops they now knew who
G
He was supposed to join the bus
back at the
Chattanooga station
D
He was late and tried to wave the driver
down but she's impatient
A
She's bent to her position
and a timetable to honour
D
So he tailed us to the freeway,
let the bullets rain upon us
F#
Oh my
God, how close we've come
G
D
To marching towards your kingdom drum
F#
I say, oh my
God, how close we've been
G
A
D
G
To staring down eternity
D
A
D
When the last cop pulled away,
we had been stuck out there for hours
It didn't take too long till the
collective mood, it sours
G
See my student friend,
she's wailing that she's now gonna be late
D
She's gonna have to call ahead,
cancel tonight's date
A
I said, feel lucky you're not dead,
you're really giving me the blues
D
And the next day safe in
Nashville, it didn't even make the news
A
D
In the history of
America, it was just another day
Now I'm made into that warm bed,
in there all day I'll stay
G
So if you ever find yourself
riding the bus from
Chattanooga
D
Keep your eyes open for pockets
with an outline like a luger
A
So what worries me the most
is that it's difficult to tell
D
If you should fear those who have missed
the bus or them who's punctual
you

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.”
