Verse 2
C

Eh hello. My names Tim and I'm a criminal,


In the eyes of society I need

to be in jail

For the choice of herbs I inhale.

This ain't no wholesale operation

Just a few eighths and some

Playstations my's vocation

I pose a threat to the nation

And down the station the police

hold no patients

Let's talk space and time

I like to get deep sometimes

and think about Einstein

And Carl Young And old Kung

Fu movies I like to see

Pass the hydrator please

Yeah I'm floating on thin air.

Going to Amsterdam in the New

Year - top gear there

'Cause I taker pride in my hobby

Home made bongs using my

engineering degree

Dear Leaders, please legalize

weed for these reasons.

Verse 4
C

see why

I should be the criminal

How can something with

no recorded fatalities be illegal

And how many deaths are there

per year from alcohol

I just completed Gran Tourismo on

the hardest setting

We pose no threat on my settee

Ooh the pizza's here will someone

let him in please

"We didn't order chicken,

Not a problem we'll pick it out

I doubt they meant to mess us about

After all we're all adults not louts."

As I was saying,

we're friendly peaceful people

We're not the ones out there

causing trouble.

We just sit in this hazy bubble

with our quarters

Discussing how beautiful Gail Porter is.

MTV, BBC Two, Channel Four is on

until six in the morning.

Then at six in the morning the sun

dawns and it's my bedtime.
Verse 5
Bm
D

Causing trouble, your stinking rabble

You're on drugs it really bugs me

Bm
D

Just for getting drunk
E

I like getting drunk
Bm

'Cause I'm an upstanding citizen
D

If a war came along I'd be
E

on the front line with 'em.
D
Now Terry
Verse 6
C

you're repeating

yourself

But that's okay drunk people

can't help that.

A chemical reaction inside your brain causes

you to forget what you're saying.
Verse 7
Bm
D

What. I know exactly what

I'm saying
E

I'm perfectly sane
Bm
D

You stinking student lameo
E

Go get a job and stop
F

robbing us of our taxes.
Verse 8
C

Err, well actually according

to research

Government funding for further education

pales in insignificance

When compared to how much
C

they spend on re pairing

Leery drunk people at the weekend

In casualty wards all over the land.
Verse 9
Bm

Why you cheeky little swine
D

E

I'm gonna batter you. Come here.

  • 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.
