    • Verse 1
    He said 
    his pride 
    and 
    joy 

    was that 
    old 
    John 
    Bull 
    Tin. 

    Verse 2
    He 
    said it 
    saved 
    him 
    from 
    a 
    bullet 

    once 
    - but I 
    did not 
    believe 

    He 
    was just 
    an old 
    man 
    in 
    the park, 

    half 
    drunk 
    on 
    rum 

    As 
    he 
    rolled 
    an
    other 
    smoke 

    and 
    closed 
    the John 
    Bull 
    Tin 

    He 
    said,"I've carried 
    that 

    since 
    1931." 

    Verse 3
    Rubbed 
    and 
    worn 
    shiny 
    silver 

    - blue 
    letters 
    chipped 
    away 

    Old 
    memories 
    and 
    to
    bacco 
    fit 
    with
    in 

    He 
    had 
    one 
    religious 
    medal 
    that 

    he 
    car
    ried 
    near 
    his 
    heart 

    But 
    his 
    pride 
    and joy 
    was 

    that 
    old John 
    Bull 
    Tin 

    Verse 4
    He 
    said, "it 
    used 
    to be 
    a tyre- 
    patch 

    kit 
    but 
    that 
    was 
    long 
    ago... 

    It's 
    memories 
    and 
    tobacco 
    now, 
    my 
    friend. 

    Ya 
    know some 
    folks 
    need 
    a magic 

    lamp 
    to 
    conjure 
    up their 
    dreams 

    But 
    mine 
    are kep
    t inside 

    the 
    John 
    Bull 
    tin." 

    Verse 5
    Rubbed 
    and 
    worn 
    shiny 
    silver 

    - blue 
    let
    ters 
    chipped 
    away 

    Old 
    memories 
    and 
    to
    bacco 
    fit 
    with
    in 

    He 
    had 
    one 
    religious 
    medal 
    that 

    he 
    car
    ried 
    near

    Interlude 1


    Verse 6
    I found 
    it 
    lyin' 
    in 
    the 
    grass, 

    in a 
    park 
    near 
    Shepherd's 
    Bush 

    I never 
    saw 
    that old 
    man 
    again 

    I 
    guess 
    he 
    rolled 
    his 
    final 
    smoke 

    and 
    went 
    to his 
    re
    ward 

    Why 
    else 
    would he 
    have dropped 

    the John 
    Bull 
    Tin? 

    Verse 7
    Rubbed 
    and 
    worn 
    shiny 
    silver 

    - blue 
    letters 
    chipped 
    away 

    Old 
    memories 
    and 
    to
    bacco 
    fit 
    with
    in 

    He had 
    one 
    religious 
    medal 
    that 

    he 
    car
    ried 
    near 
    his 
    heart 

    But 
    his 
    pride 
    and joy 
    was 

    that 
    old John 
    Bull 
    Tin 

    His 
    pride 
    and joy 
    was 
    that 
    old John 
    Bull 
    Tin 

    His 
    pride 
    and joy 
    was 
    that 
    old John 
    Bull 
    Tin

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
