I had a bulldog, he had me
Rough and tough as any dog can be
Every evening when the sun went down
C
That bulldog he went a -runnin' around
D

He was mean, he was hard
He was the king of my backyard
D
He was short, he wasn't any too tall
Said, don't you worry about
C

nothin' at all
Anybody come messin' around I'm
the dog that's gonna bring them down
C
I am mean, I am hard I am
the king of your backyard

Late last
Monday, wasn't too late
C
Somebody sneaking by the alley gate
D
Four foot eleven and
a hundred and three
Smallest burglar that you ever did see
C
He was mean, he was hard
He was creepin' into my backyard
D

My dog barked
like I knew he would
The burglar picked up the kindling wood
My dog hollered and the burglar said
Get down the alley, my bulldog lit
C
He was mean, he was hard,

D
he was the chicken of my backyard
My dog went right through my fence,
I have not seen that bulldog since
Loved that dog but I had my fill,
and I keep a canary on my windowsill
C
He is mean, he is hard,
D
he is the king of my backyard

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

“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
