    Man,

    that's pure spooky, yeah

    Now, gather 'round while I

    elucidate

    On what happens outside
    E

    when it gets late
    Dm

    'Long about mid night,
    E

    the ghosts and banshees

    Get together for their nightly

    jamborees
    Dm

    There's ghosts with horns
    E

    and saucer eyes
    Dm
    E

    And some with fangs about this size

    Some short and fat, some tall and thin

    And there's some don't

    even bother to wear their skin

    Dm
    Am

    Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed
    E

    That's the Headless Horseman,
    Am

    he's the worst
    E
    Am

    When he goes a- joggin'

    'cross the land
    E

    Holdin' a noggin in his hand
    Dm
    Am

    Demons take one look and groan
    E

    And hit the road for parts unknown
    Am
    G
    Am
    C

    'Cause there's no spook
    Am

    Am

    They don't like him, and

    he's really burned

    He'll show them that he can get a head

    So close all the windows, lock the doors

    Unless you're careful,
    E

    he'll get yours
    Dm
    Am

    Don't think he'll hesitate a bit
    E
    Am

    'Cause he'll clip your top if it'll fit

    He likes 'em little, likes 'em big
    E

    Part in the middle, or a Westmore wig

    Am

    Black or white or even red

    • 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.
