    never

    big 
    green 
    eyes 

    first 
    pushed 
    one, 
    then 
    the other, 

    then I 
    twisted 
    it's 
    lid 

    And 
    when I 
    set 
    it down 
    again,

    It first 
    marched 
    left, 
    then 
    marched 
    right

    then 
    marched 
    under 
    a chair 

    And 
    when I 
    looked 
    where 
    it had 

    gone 
    it 
    wasn't 
    even 
    there 

    I star
    ted 
    to cry, 
    my 
    daddy 
    laughed, 

    he 
    knew 
    that 
    would find 

    When I 
    turned 
    around 
    my 
    marvelous 

    toy 
    chugging

    Interlude 1



    Verse 7
    The years 
    have passed 
    too quickly 
    it seems, 

    have 
    my 
    own 
    little 
    boy 

    And 
    yesterday 
    gave 
    to him 

    my 
    mar
    velous 
    little 
    toy 

    His 
    eye
    nearly 
    popped 
    right 
    out 
    of his head, 

    he 
    gave 
    squeal 
    of 
    glee 

    Neither 
    one of 
    us knows 
    just 
    what it 

    is 
    but he 
    loves 
    it 
    just 
    like 
    me 

    It still 
    goes 
    zip 
    when it 
    moves 
    Verse 8

    Bop 
    when it 
    stops 

    Whirrr when it stands 
    still 

    never 
    knew 
    just 
    what it 
    was 

    And 
    guess 
    never 
    will 

    never 
    knew 
    just 
    what 
    it was 

    And 
    guess 
    never 
    will

    • 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.
