D

The high ways that wind
G

and wander across this lonesome land
D

sure can get weary sometimes.

Especially when you get a flat

on the old easel.
G

I was barreling down Old 77 one day,
D

and I just passed a hobo
G

who'd given me the thumb.
A

And I gave him the thumb back
D

and kept going.
A

And wouldn't you know it,
D
G

about a quarter of a mile further,
D

I pulled up on the shoulder
A

with a flat on the right rear.
G

And as I stood there looking at it,
D

shaking my head,
G

uttering some profane syllables,
D
G

The hobo walked up and said to me,
D

Have a flat?
A

No, thanks, I got one.

It ain't too bad,
D

it's only flat on the bottom.
G

Oh, brother, you could tell this guy
A

had been out of circulation
D

for a long time.

Whatcha gonna do about it?
A

Well, I was just gonna look for a man
D

to help me fix it.

Good, I'll help you look for him.

How about you?
G

Yeah, how about me?

Well, I mean,
D

how about you giving me a hand?
G

Oh, I'd like to help you, buddy,
D

but I'm too light for heavy work

and too heavy for light work.
A

And too lazy.
D

Well, that might fit in there someplace.

Well, thanks a lot.

I'll fix it myself.
A

And I'll supervise the job.

Uh, say, old buddy,
G

how about giving me a dime

for a piece of cake?
D

Well, if that don't beat all.
G
D

And it's cake you want.

Well, today's my birthday.
A

All right, help me fix this flat
D
A

and I'll buy you a full dinner.
D

Okay, you got a deal,
G
D

but, uh, let me see the menu first.
Bb
D

Look, Buster,

you know hard work won't kill you.

I don't know,

I lost several wives that way.

Come on now,
G

you look strong enough to work.
D

And you look handsome enough
G

to be a movie star,
D

but I see you're pushing this old easel.
G
D

Ah, surely you must have done some work.

Oh yeah, I work now and then.

What do you do? This and that.

Whereabouts?
A

Here and there. I see.

Now when are you going to give

me that dime?
G

Oh, sooner or later.

You can kid me if you want to,
D

but I'll tell you one thing.
G

I wouldn't change places
D

with a guy that had a million bucks.
A

How about five million?
D

Not even five million.

How about ten million?

Not even, well, nah, that's different.
G

You're talking real dough.
D

Now looky here, you no good mangy, knock -kneed,
A

bow -legged, ball -headed, two -bit, hobo.
D

Who are you calling bow -legged?

Now look,

you're gonna help me fix this flat,
G

or I'm gonna break your...

Careful, chum, you'll bend the suit.

Now for the last time,

are you or ain't you?
D

You get so excited.
A

Okay, I'll help you.
D

Let me take a look at that tire.
A

Hmm, just as I thought.

That ain't no blowout, just a slow leak.
G

Hand me that tire pump.

And friends, if I hadn't seen
D

it with my own eyes,
G

I wouldn't have believed it.
D

That tramp took that pump,
A
D

and with one hand, mind you,
G

pumped that big tire full of air in no time.

Well, what do you know? No flat.
D

Partner, I want to thank you.

Hop in the cab,

and the next stop we make,

I'll buy you the biggest steak
G

and the best cake they've

got in the house.
D
G

Sounds like a winner.

Just one thing, though.
D

I noticed you only used one hand

on that tire pump.

How come?
A
D

Oh, I don't know,

except this arm's broke.

Broke? Just a little bit.
A

Oh, I'm sorry, old buddy.
G

How did it happen? Well, it was like this.

I got a hold of this copy
D

of the Playboy magazine.

Yeah.
G

And I thought it was a Sears

and Roebuck catalog.

Go on.
D

And I broke my arm
A

filling out order blanks.

Oh, no.
D

Come on. Let's hit the road.

  • 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.
