    Verse 1
    Oh, 
    well, 
    I 
    bought 
    me 
    a 
    donkey, 

    about 
    four 
    foot 
    tall 

    To 
    plough 
    my 
    cotton 
    in 
    the 
    early 
    fall 

    He's 
    runnin' 
    around, 
    it was 
    an 
    awful 
    sin 

    I 
    had 
    to 
    build 
    a 
    fence 
    to 
    keep 
    my 
    don
    key 
    in 

    Verse 2
    I 
    rigged 
    up 
    a 
    wire 
    with 
    a 
    battery 
    charge 

    To 
    keep 
    my 
    don
    key 
    from 

    a-running 
    at 
    at 
    large 

    Inside 
    this 
    bin 
    I 
    turned 
    him 
    loose 

    Thrilled 
    by 
    volts 
    of 
    electrified 
    juice 

    Verse 3
    Well, 
    which 
    way 
    did 
    my 
    donkey 
    go 

    If 
    you 
    see 
    him 
    let 
    me 
    know 

    I 
    haven't 
    seen 
    my 
    donkey 
    since 

    He 
    backed 
    in
    to 
    that 
    electrified 
    fence 

    Verse 4

    Now, 
    the 
    first 
    time 
    he 
    backed 
    up 
    against 
    it 

    He 
    threw 
    back 
    his 
    ears 
    and 
    he 
    had 
    a 
    fit 

    He 
    brayed 
    real 
    loud 
    and 
    he 
    hit 
    high 
    gear 

    He 
    jumped 
    up 
    into 
    the stratosphere 

    Verse 5
    I 
    just 
    got 
    word 
    from 
    Albuquerque 

    A 
    donkey 
    up 
    there 
    was 

    look
    ing 
    for 
    work 

    He's 
    my 
    donkey 
    and 
    his 
    name 
    is 
    Jack 

    Oh, 
    how 
    I 
    wish 
    he'd 
    come 
    on 
    back

    Well, 
    Verse 6
    which 
    way 
    did 
    my 
    don
    key 
    go 

    If 
    you 
    see 
    him 
    let 
    me 
    know 

    I 
    haven't 
    seen 
    my 
    donkey 
    since 

    He 
    backed 
    into 
    that 
    electrified 
    fence 

    Verse 7

    Now, 
    more 
    word 
    came 
    from 
    Palomar 

    A 
    man 
    up 
    there 
    was 

    a-watching 
    the 
    the star 

    While 
    looking 
    through 
    his 
    telescope 

    He 
    nearly 
    had 
    him
    self 
    a stroke 

    Verse 8
    He 
    saw 
    something 
    riding 

    up 
    the 
    rainbow 
    trail 

    With 
    two 
    long 
    ears 
    and 
    a 
    puckered 
    up 
    tail 

    The 
    thing 
    he 
    saw 
    when 
    he 

    'firmed 
    the states 

    Was 
    a 
    donkey 
    heading 

    for 
    the 
    pearly 
    gates 

    Verse 9
    Well, 
    which 
    way 
    did 
    my 
    don
    key 
    go 

    If 
    you 
    see 
    him 
    let 
    me 
    know 

    I 
    haven't 
    seen 
    my 
    donkey 
    since 

    He 
    backed 
    into 
    that 
    electrified 
    fence

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
