    G
    C

    Oh, the steps, they go down

    To a hole in the ground
    G

    Where the subway goes rumbling by

    You go in one end in the middle of June
    C

    And come out on the Fourth of Ju ly

    Some grown- ups don't care
    G
    C

    for the subway at all
    G

    But it's perfect for all girls and boys

    It goes like a rocket - and stops with a jerk
    C

    And it makes the most wonderful noise
    G
    C

    Oh, the steps, they go down

    To a hole in the ground
    G

    Where the subway goes rumbling by

    You go in one end in the middle of June
    C

    And come out on the Fourth of July

    Oh, the man who dug tunnels

    to lay down the track
    G
    C
    G

    Is the man in the blue denim shirt

    He dug night and day till

    the tunnel was done
    C

    But where did he go with the dirt
    G
    C

    Oh, the steps, they go down

    To a hole in the ground
    G

    Where the subway goes rumbling by

    You go in one end in the middle of June
    C

    And come out on the Fourth of Ju ly

    Have you heard what

    happened to poor Tiny Tim
    G

    It happened when he wasn't polite

    A very large woman sat down on his lap
    C

    And he vanished completely from sight
    G
    C

    Oh, the steps, they go down

    To a hole in the ground
    G

    Where the subway goes rumbling by

    You go in one end in the middle of June
    C

    And come out on the Fourth of July

    The only thing wrong with the subways at all
    G

    Is sitting on somebody's lap

    But won't it be great when

    you're just tall enough
    C

    To stand up and hang onto the strap
    G
    C

    Oh, the steps, they go down

    To a hole in the ground
    G

    Where the subway goes rumbling by

    You go in one end in the middle of June
    C

    And come out on the Fourth of July

    • 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.
