    Story

    Time!

    The

    Gingerbread

    Man
    D
    C

    Once upon a time, there was a lady who lived in
    Am
    C
    Am

    a little white cottage in the countryside.
    G
    C
    D
    C
    G
    Bm

    This lady really
    G
    Am

    liked to bake cookies.
    C

    Today I'll bake something

    extra nice!
    G
    C

    Something with flour, sugar, and spice!

    So she got out her red mixing bowl
    Bm
    C

    and her big wooden spoon and…
    G
    Bm
    G

    Oh, can I stir?

    Reggie, it's just a story.

    Oh, sorry,

    Zach.
    C

    I forgot.
    D
    C
    D
    C

    She mixed up the dough until
    G
    C
    G
    C
    G
    C

    it was just right.

    Then she rolled it out with
    G
    Am

    a rolling pin.
    C

    This dough is so flat,

    and it's soft like butter.
    G
    C
    G

    I think it's time for my cookie cutter.
    C

    She cut out a perfect

    gingerbread man shape,
    G
    C
    G
    Am
    C

    Then baked it in the oven the house was filled
    G

    with the delicious aroma of gingerbread
    C
    D
    C

    In a few minutes the cookie was done,
    G
    Am
    C

    let's get you dressed
    Am
    C

    She gave the cookie candy eyes chocolate
    G
    C

    buttons and a bowtie made of icing
    G
    C

    Look at the cookie. I've

    got on my pan.
    G
    C
    G
    C
    G

    What shall I call him gingerbread man?
    C
    D

    Gingerbread
    C
    D
    C

    Man, you're good enough to eat.
    G

    I'll work my way up,
    C
    G

    starting with your feet.
    C

    All of a sudden, the

    Gingerbread

    Man jumped off the pan.
    D
    C

    And before the lady knew it, he had
    G

    run right out of the cottage.

    The lady ran after him, shaking her spoon.
    Bb
    F

    Where are you going?
    C

    Come right back.
    Am

    Turn around, cookie.
    D

    I want a snack.
    G
    C
    G

    Run, run as fast as you can.
    C
    G

    You can't catch me, I'm the
    D

    Gingerbread
    G

    Man!
    C
    G

    Run, run, as fast as you can!
    C
    G

    You can't catch me, I'm the
    D

    Gingerbread
    G

    Man!
    C

    The

    Gingerbread

    Man thought he was safe,
    G

    so he slowed down.
    C

    Soon, he came upon a mustached man,
    G
    C
    G

    doing some stretches.

    He should have done a shake break.

    True.
    C
    G
    C

    Oh, hello there.
    G
    C

    Who are you?
    G

    My, oh my,

    you look good enough to chew!

    The

    Gingerbread
    Bb

    Man started running again!
    F

    Where ya going?
    C

    Come right back!
    Am
    D

    Turn around cookie, I want a snack!
    G
    C
    G

    Run, run as fast as you can!
    C
    G

    You can't catch me, I'm the
    D

    Gingerbread
    G

    Man!
    C
    G

    Run, run as fast as you can!
    C
    G

    You can't catch me, I'm the
    D

    Gingerbread
    G

    Man!
    C

    This time the

    Gingerbread
    G

    Man passed a lady in a bonnet

    who was picking flowers!
    C

    Uh -oh!

    Good day, sir.

    Welcome to my land.
    G
    C
    G

    May I shake your hand?
    C
    G

    Or maybe I could chew your hand.
    C

    Is that icing?
    G

    The

    Gingerbread

    Man started running again.
    Bb
    F

    Where are you going?
    C

    Come right back.
    Am
    D

    Turn around, cookie, I want a snack!
    G
    C
    G

    Run, run as fast as you can.
    C
    G

    You can't catch me, I'm the
    D

    Gingerbread

    Man.
    G
    C
    G

    Run, run, as fast as you can,
    C
    G

    you can't catch me, I'm the
    D

    Gingerbread
    G

    Man!
    C

    Next, the

    Gingerbread
    D

    Man passed by a monk,
    Bm
    Am
    G

    who was just about to eat a big piece of broccoli.
    C

    Suddenly I don't like the look of my lunch,
    D
    Bm
    Am
    G

    I smell something sweet and warm to munch.

    The

    Gingerbread

    Man started running again.
    F

    Where you going?
    C
    Am

    Come right back, turn around cookie,
    D

    I want a snack!
    G
    C
    G

    Run, run as fast as you can,
    C
    G

    you can't catch me, I'm the
    D

    Gingerbread
    G

    Man.
    C
    G

    Run, run as fast as you can,
    C
    G

    you can't catch me, I'm the
    D

    Gingerbread
    G

    Man.

    The
    C

    Gingerbread
    D
    C

    Man came to a stream, but

    Gingerbread
    Am
    G

    Man can't swim.
    C
    Bm
    G

    Do you know why,

    Reggie?
    D
    C

    Because he isn't

    wearing a bathing suit?
    G

    No, because he'll get all
    Am
    Bm
    G

    soggy and fall apart.
    D
    C

    Nobody likes a mushy cookie.
    D
    C
    G

    Luckily for him,

    a fox was swimming in the water.
    C

    Hop on my back. I'll take
    G

    you across the stream.

    You can trust me.
    C

    The gingerbread man was so eager to
    G

    get away from the baker,
    C
    G

    the mustache man, the lady in the bonnet,
    C

    and the monk,

    that he hopped on the fox's
    G

    back without thinking.

    The fox started swimming.
    C

    It's getting deeper.
    Em
    C
    G
    C
    G
    C

    Hop onto my neck.

    It's getting even deeper,

    hop on to my head
    G
    C
    G
    C
    G
    C
    Em

    It's getting really deep,
    C

    hop on to my nose
    G
    C
    G

    The gingerbread man saw that they were
    C

    almost at the other side of the stream.
    D
    Bm
    B

    He imagined getting to the other side and
    Am
    C

    making fun of the people who had tried to
    D
    Bm

    chase him, so he hopped on to
    B
    Am
    G

    the fox's nose.

    All of the sudden,

    the fox flipped him up into the air.

    And when he came down,

    the fox opened his mouth wide and…

    Oh no!

    He gobbled him up in one bite!

    The

    End.

    • 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.
