And they'll be out there eating breakfast

at the Anilver Court Hotel
G
D
Gm

And they'll be off
G

and down the highway
Gm

in their this year's Chevrolet

And they're just three

hours north of Gubbord
C

On their weekend holiday little getaway
D
Gm
G

For the only normal people
Gm

The only normal people

that tell you everything's alright

They say the sun comes up each morning

And the stars come out at night
G
D
G

And they say,
Gm

Kellogg's still makes cornflakes
G

And that classic Coke is back
Gm

And you know Reagan's

in the White House
G

And his hair's a natural black
C

It's a natural fact
D
Gm
G

Says the only normal people
Gm

The only normal people

That drink their coffee
G

sweet with cream
Gm

That's as they gaze out

from their easy chair

They call it TV screens

And as they watch a world of problems

On their cable evening news
D
Gm

You know they wonder

why those people
D
G
Gm

Choose to live the way they do
C

Don't they want to do
D
Gm
G

Like the only normal people
Gm

The only normal people
D
G
Gm

Do ex actly as they should
G
Gm

You know they

never borrow money

and their credit's always good
D
Gm

You know they file

their honest tax return
G
Gm

a month before it's due

And wave to all those nice policemen

up on Grandview
G

Haven't you?
Gm
C

How'd it do to you?
D
G

They say they are the only normal people
Gm

The only normal people

who never see cocaine or smack

You know they don't smoke marijuana
G

and they're miles away from crack
Gm

And all those pills that

doctor give them help
G

a sinus headache some
D

You know they'll drink
Gm

because it's social

but they won't have more than one
Gm
C

I'm sorry I gotta run
D
Dm
D

Settle at home
G

Home to the normal people
Gm

They go to church on Sunday
G
D

With their happy healthy son
G
Gm

Who's going to run
G

their family business
Gm
G

Just as they themselves have done
Gm
G

And he will live to own a golf cart
Gm
G

And a backyard swimming pool
Gm

And he won't never sleep with boys
G

So I think of dropping out of school,
Gm
C

it wasn't set to go
D
G

With us all, only normal people
Gm

Yeah, the only normal people

don't know anything about
G
Gm

Your world of sleepless

nights and pressures,

and they never once freak out

You know they run their lives on course,
G

and they keep a steady even keel
Gm
G

They hear you talk about frustration

But they don't know how it feels
C

No, it isn't real
D
Dm

For those uh -uh -uh -huh
D
G

-hum normal people
D
Gm

They eat their three square
G
Gm

meals a day
G

And they do their exercise and diet
Gm

And always look before they leap

And they keep their
G

seatbelts buckled tight
D
Gm

And so they don't get into accidents

And they'll wind up on their backs
D
Gm
G

They also don't get AIDS or cancer

And they don't have heart attacks
C

Can't you just relax?
D
Gm
G

Like the only normal people

I'll bet they're down at J .C. Penney's
Gm

For that riding lawn mower
G
Gm

Now, you know that one
G

that takes attachments
Gm

Like that tin blade garden plow
G
Gm

I'll bet you'll pass

them down this morning
G

as you race to beat the bell
Gm

They are the only normal people
G

They're the ones you don't know well,
Gm
C

that you don't know well
D
G

They're the only normal people
Gm
G
C

That you don't know well
D

They're the holy,

  • 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.
