Onion Championship
A
D

of 1978

I was love with Texas the other night,
G

drinking beer and about half tight.
A

Me and Paul and Jim
D

and a guy named Al.

We were drawing pictures

and writing songs,
G

sitting there talking for too long.
A

Paul said we ought to move this party
D

over to Stubbs.

The smoke was hanging low and thick
G

and the guitar man was hunting licks
A

and Joe Ely was in the back
D

room shooting pool.

Now we all went back there to check it out
G

and Joe said, well, now shut my mouth.
A

I heard the old story,
D

teller knows how to handle a stick.

I said, I've had chalk on better clothes
G

and y 'all know how that stuff goes.
A

Pretty soon we shooting pool
D

and just raising hell.
G

The Great East Broadway

Onion Championship
A
D

of 1978

Joe and me kind of drew a crowd
G

The place got drunk

and the place got loud
A

And Joe reached over in his sack
D

and pulled out a big ol' onion

He placed that onion on

the belt and said
G

Here's where you're gonna

need some help
A

We're gonna use that hamburger helper
D

for a cue ball

Then Joe picked up a big ol' broom
G

And he waved it all around the room
A

Said, I'm gonna play that onion cue ball
D

with a broomstick

We battled back and forth all night
G

The tears were streaming from our eyes
A

And I had that onion

for an eight ball
D

in the corner pocket

Now the place got quiet as a mouse
G

And we told the guitar man to lay out
A

And I could barely see that onion
D

for all that grass

But I sipped a beer and fought back tears
G

And watched that eight ball disappear
A

And the whole damn town of Lubbock,

D

Texas went wild

And amidst the yelling and the cheers
G

Joe said y 'all wait till next year
A

and that's how I won the Onion
D

Broadway Championship of 78.

  • 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.
