    • Verse 1
    He's 
    a 
    miniature 
    philo
    sopher 

    He stands 
    five 
    foot 
    three 

    So 
    no 
    one 
    takes 
    him 
    seriously 

    He's 
    in 
    love 
    with 
    Gertrude 
    Lullaby 

    But 
    she 
    doesn't 
    care 
    for 
    him 

    He's 
    like 
    a 
    house 
    boy 

    To 
    Miss 
    Lullaby 

    And 
    their 
    future 
    looks 
    very 
    dim 

    He's 
    a miniature 
    Verse 2
    philo
    sopher 

    He 
    takes 
    notes 
    on 
    all 
    he 
    reads 

    But 
    that 
    doesn't 

    satis
    fy 
    his 
    needs 

    He's 
    a 
    desk 
    clerk 
    at 
    the 

    bank 
    and 
    trust 

    There's 
    so 
    many 
    contracts 

    and 
    paperwork 
    to 
    do 

    He 
    gets 
    so 
    busy 
    at 
    the 
    bank 
    and 
    trust 

    There 
    is 
    no 
    time 
    for 

    Nietzsche 
    or 
    Camus 

    Verse 3
    He's 
    a miniature 
    philosopher 

    He 
    writes 
    essays 
    on 
    Voltaire 

    But 
    if 
    he 
    died 
    no 
    one 
    would 
    care 

    He 
    doesn't 
    know 
    why 
    Verse 4
    his 
    life 

    turned 
    out 
    this 
    way 

    No 
    one 
    ever 
    reads 
    his 
    disser

    tations 
    or 
    allegoric 
    plays 

    So 
    he com
    forts 
    himself 

    while 
    search
    ing 
    a 
    rhyme 

    That 
    the public 
    rarely 
    recognize 
    a 

    genius 
    in 
    their 
    time 

    (poor little 
    guy) 

    He's 
    a miniature 
    philo
    sopher

    Though 
    he 
    hasn't 
    got 
    a 

    friend 

    He's sure 
    he'll 
    be 
    famous 
    in 
    the 
    end

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
