  • Verse 1
    This 
    is the house 
    that 
    Jack 
    built, 

    y'all 

    Verse 2
    Remember 
    this 
    house! 

    This 
    was the land 
    that 

    he worked 
    by 
    hand 

    It was 
    the dream 
    of an upright 
    man 

    There was 
    the room 
    that 
    was filled 
    with love 

    It 
    was 
    a love 
    that I was 
    proud 
    of 

    This 
    was a life 
    of a love 
    he planned 

    On 
    love 
    the same 
    ol' love 

    In 
    the house 
    that Jack 
    built 

    (The house 
    that Jack 
    built) 

    Remember 
    this 
    house! 

    Verse 3
    There 
    was the fence 
    that 
    held 

    our love 
    (yes it 
    was) 

    There was 
    the gate 
    that 

    he walked 
    out 
    of 

    This is 
    the heart 
    that is turned 

    to stone 
    (yes it is) 

    This was 
    the house, 
    but 
    it ain't 
    no 
    home 

    This 
    is the love 
    that I 
    once had 

    In a 
    dream 
    that 
    I thought 
    was love 

    In the 
    house 
    that Jack 

    built (the house 
    that Jack 
    built) 

    I'm 
    gonn' remember 
    this 
    house! 

    Oh-ohh 
    wha-a-at 
    Verse 4
    is is is 
    is the 

    use 
    of cry
    ing? 

    You know 
    brought 
    it 
    on myself 

    There's 
    no 
    deny
    ing 

    But 
    it 
    see-e-ee-em
    awful awful 

    awful awful 
    funny 

    That I 
    didn't 
    understand 

    Was 
    it a house 
    of 
    an upright 
    man? 

    Verse 5
    Up 
    on the hill 
    There's 
    a big 
    plan 

    still 

    In 
    the house 
    that Jack 
    built 

    (The house 
    that Jack 
    built) 

    I'm gonn' remember 

    this 
    house 

    (The house 
    that Jack 
    built) 

    Verse 6
    Listen! 

    I got 
    the house 

    I got 
    the car 

    I got 
    the rug 

    And I got 
    the 
    rack 

    But 
    I ain't 
    got 
    Jack 
    (Jack) 

    (I ain't got Jack, Jack) 

    And I 
    want my 
    Jack 
    back! 

    Verse 7
    turned 


    my back 
    on Jack 

    He said 
    he wasn't 
    coming 
    back 

    I turned 
    my back 
    on Jack 

    He said 
    he wasn't 
    coming 
    back 

    Ohhh, 
    Jack 

    Ohh! 
    Come 
    on back 

    Ohh Jack 

    Oh 
    come 
    on 
    back 

    You oughtta 
    come 
    on back 
    (Come on back, 

    Jack) 

    To the 
    one 
    that you 
    built (Come on 
    back, 

    Jack) 

    It's 
    the same 
    one 
    you 
    built 
    (Come on back, 

    Jack) 

    You oughtta 
    come on 
    back 

    (Come on back, 
    Jack) 

    Oh 
    come 
    back 

    Come 
    on, come 
    on, 
    come 
    on 

    I didn't 
    understand 

    Until 
    lost 
    my 
    upright 
    man 

    Come 
    on back

    Jack 
    (Come on 
    back, Jack)

    • 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.
