Key: D major•BPM: 109
Verse 1
D
Me and Oliver and Virgil was down
G
at the drugstore killing time
A
D
when my eye fell upon this magazine.
And I got to reading this article
G
about skydiving and parachutes
A
and I said, jumping out of an airplane,
D
that's a thing.
Now being raised out on a farm
G
and always ready for adventure,
A
I knew that I could figure out a way.
D
Well, but Delmar Gill's
got a parachute,
G
Uncle Harvey's got a plane,
A
so I said, Call the boys together,
D
today's the day.
A
Now I found out too late
D
that what Uncle Harvey
called an airplane
E
wasn't really nothing
A
but an engine and a wing.
D
And I could feel my fear rising
G
as Delmar packed up my parachute,
A
but he kept on telling me,
D
Oh, you're doing the right thing.
Ron McLaughlin shook my hand
G
and he strapped me in the harness,
A
and Tilden brought a jug
D
to pass around.
Well, I took one look at that parachute
G
and the whiskey and that airplane,
A
and I turned that bottle up
D
and drank it down.
Oh, I was drunker than Cooter Jones
G
when they boarded me in the plane,
Am
and that old engine coughed
A
D
and we headed for the clouds.
Boy, I was sober as a judge
G
when Harvey opened up that door,
A
and I ain't never heard my
D
heart beat quite so loud.
A
I said, Harvey, I can't do it,
D
but he kicked me out the door,
Em
but I wrapped my hand
E
Em
A
s around the landing gear.
D
And I was holding on pretty good,
G
and Harvey stomped on my fingers,
A
and Virgil said he heard me scream
D
from way down there
B
E
I thanked God and Delmar Gill
A
when that parachute finally opened
B
And I said, well, hell,
there ain't no use to be afraid
E
Then I went crashing through
the hen house
A
Scattering chickens and breaking eggs
B
And I kissed the ground and
E
fainted dead away
Now friends, I fought some battles
A
I've been shot at once or twice
B
E
and I damn near got run over by a train.
But in my whole -born put -togethers,
A
I ain't never been as scared
B
as the day I jumped from
Uncle Harvey's plane.

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

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
