    Verse 1
    D

    I know it seemed like
    G

    a good idea at the time.
    D
    A

    But, darling, I knew there was
    D

    trouble bound to come.
    Verse 2
    G

    The postman drove a Caddy,
    D

    A sunburned green,
    A

    Rusted out land tug of a car.
    D

    It seen to race across the ridge
    G

    trailin clouds of dust and dogs.
    D
    A

    I knew there was trouble
    D

    bound to come.
    Verse 3
    D

    Now, I saw the fact.
    G

    The driver was a dog.
    D

    The dog had a hat.
    A
    F#m

    The hat had a flat.
    D

    It looked like a rat.
    G

    The rat was on fire.
    D

    Somehow I knew there was trouble
    A
    D

    bound to come.
    Verse 4
    Gm
    Eb
    D

    Now, that fire attracted the
    Gm

    eye of a neighbor who,
    D
    Dm

    Turning away,
    Gm
    D

    Shook his head as he was heard to say,
    F#m
    A

    I don't wanna know why.
    D

    Which confused the pig.
    G

    That ate the mailbox.
    D

    That contained the letter that was lost by
    Eb
    A

    the post office for 40 years.
    D

    Happenin to have been written
    G

    by Albert Einstein.

    Ha!
    D
    A

    Somehow I knew there was
    D

    trouble bound to come.
    Verse 5
    D
    G

    Now, in his declining years he had designed devined a
    D

    device from common household items,
    A
    D

    Which by harnassing hitherto unknown forces in the
    G

    universe could put a chicken in every pot,
    D

    And make it so that everyone could live a long
    A
    D

    long time without any trouble at all.
    G
    Gm

    And in the process savin mankind
    D

    from certain self- destruction,
    A
    D

    And enabling him to keep going
    G

    more places forever.
    D

    Mmmm, I knew there was
    A

    trouble bound to come.
    D
    Now, you
    Verse 6

    understand, that whether or not this device would
    G
    D

    actually work was a matter of ab solute conjecture,

    Seeing as how Mr Einstein had

    buried the only plans,

    And working model,
    G

    In a hole in the ground.
    D

    I knew there was trouble
    A
    D

    bound to come.
    Gm
    It had seemed
    Verse 7
    Dm

    like a good
    Gm

    idea at the time,
    Dm

    In fact what the letter did say.
    Gm

    And would the recipient,
    Dm

    A Mr Tesla,
    A

    Please go out and dig it up right away?
    D

    But not to worry,
    G
    D
    A

    Cuz even if this self- same letter was to be lost in the post you couldn't miss the two- foot
    D
    G

    high Martian standing there who promised to wait and not even budge for 40 years,
    D

    If he had to,

    But then he really had to get going.
    A

    And by the way take him a couple apples,
    D

    Or something,

    Because he really likes fruit.

    Sincerely yours,

    Albert Einstein.
    Verse 8

    Somehow I knew there

    was trouble bound to come.

    • 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.”
