Best Tuning App Ever

“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.”
The Loaf chords by

Verse 1
D
Before the guests arrived,
G
D
there's still a hundred and one chores
Hang tinsel in the doorway,
G
D
deck the halls and sweep the floors
The beast had been slaughtered,
G
D
its carcass hung in a blare
And preparations made
G
D
G
D
for the baking of the bread
The child on a chair
stood transfixed by the power
As the mother pounds the dough
G
D
with her forearms in the flour
Carried on a tray
G
D
as if the head of John the Baptist
And put into the oven
G
D
for its final flaming chapters
Bm
G
D
G
A
G
D
Now all the doors
throughout the house
lay open bar one
G
D
Behind it, hunched in misery, the eldest son
For echoes of a jilted love
G
D
in every thought lay haunting
It stays safely hidden
G
D
from his family's playful taunting
Bm
Tears will never bring her back,
G
D
G
A
trying to hide their mirth
D
G
Stop feeling sorry for yourself,
D
Bm
A
D
G
D
it's the evening of the birth
He took out a pile of papers
G
D
where he'd written his love poems
Shook out the tiny insects
G
D
who'd made the heap their home
Crept into the kitchen
with those words of desire
He opened up the oven door
G
D
and threw them on the fire
Bm
A
Each page curled, they clenched like fists,
G
A
the smoke it swirled in upward twists.
Bm
A
D
The anger of a dragon's eye glowed,
G
read the love.
Bm
The mixture swelled and
D
puffed and stretched,
G
D
G
A
G
almost outgrew the oven
D
G
And the eldest boy snuck through the yard
D
Bm
A
D
While the moon it watched above him

G
D
Well it took three men to lift it out,
they cried, we've just been blessed
We'll live off bread for three whole weeks
G
D
and feed the cats the rest
Well others just dismissed it
G
D
as a mishap with the East
Their brains in their bellies,
G
D
eager to begin the feast
Bm
A
Well the councillors all took their places
G
With bloodshot cheeks on
A
Bbsus4
pockmarked faces

Bm
A
The pastor's wife offered her a plate
D
G
A
G
And Mother lowered the knife
D
Now sooner had the cutting edge
A
G
pierced the tender crust
D
The guests were all blown backwards
G
with a vi olent noxious gust
D
The most moving words of passion
Bm
never heard in their lives
D
Were spraying all directions
G
D
as daggers, darts and knives
Madden rushed to the front door,
G
D
a wave of shrieks and howls
Some fallen down,
G
D
riddled with the shrapnel of vowels
Pinned onto the wall,
G
D
one was shown his goodbye
Slumped with a hole sharp centred,
G
D
Bm
Cm
Bbsus4
Bb
A
G
sticking from his eye
Bbsus4
G

Bm
A
Bb
A
D
G
Bbsus4
G
Bm
A thousand tiny bits of crust
G
D
G
Spread where the bodies lay
G
D
G
D
A soldier kicked the front door in
Bm
A
D
And it was Christmas Day

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
