    arched 
    of 
    the

    out 
    heavy 
    relief

    Where

    are 
    borrowed 

    all 
    your 
    senses 
    are

    Ned 
    Kelly 
    won't

    Thin 
    Captain 
    Crackers 
    bowling 
    naked 

    through 
    the center 
    of 
    the 
    town 

    The 
    sun 
    won't 
    bake 
    his 
    blue 
    skin 
    brown, 

    he's 
    been 
    too 
    long underground 

    Verse 4

    "I 
    see," 
    said 
    blind 
    builder 
    to 
    his 
    deaf 
    daughter 
    as 
    he 
    picked 
    up 
    his 
    hammer 
    and 
    saw, 

    "if 
    blood 
    is 
    thicker 
    than 
    water 
    why'd 
    you 
    dress 
    in

    dress 
    that 
    you 
    wore?"

    where 
    windows 
    used 
    to 
    be 

    (if you 
    can't 
    put 
    'em down) 

    Some 
    Verse 6
    people 
    might 
    say 
    "My 
    de
    sire's 

    not 
    the 
    captain 
    of 
    me!" 

    And Red 
    Barry 
    might 
    fly 
    from 
    his 

    pedestal 
    at 
    night 
    to 
    spook 
    the 

    Univer
    sity... 

    Verse 7
    Don't 
    bring 
    'em up 
    if 
    you 

    can't 
    put 
    'em 
    down 

    Thin 
    Captain 
    Crackers 
    bowling 
    naked 

    through 
    the center 
    of 
    the 
    town 

    The sun 
    won't 
    bake 
    his 
    blue 
    skin 
    brown, 

    he's 
    been 
    too 
    long 
    underground 

    Verse 8
    tailor 
    my 
    bones 
    what 
    need 
    new 

    clothes 
    but 
    the 
    lower 
    half 
    loves 

    What 
    the 
    upper 
    half 
    loathes, 

    could 
    get 
    around 
    like an 
    intellectual 

    Sup
    pose, 

    wearing 
    the 
    highs 
    with 
    the 
    lows 

    But 
    I'd 
    sooner 
    sing 
    these 
    doleful 
    drones 

    by 
    barcoo 
    dog 
    and 

    Lagerphones, but 
    my 
    hand 
    don't 
    write 
    when 
    feather 
    it 
    holds, 
    it 
    hangs 
    like 
    wren 
    with 
    its 
    neck 
    wrung, 

    as did 
    the 
    bells 
    in my 
    quasi 
    commode 
    where I have 
    to 
    shift 
    my 
    head 
    to 
    see 
    where 
    my 
    pillow 
    goed, 
    some 
    mornings 
    wake 
    up by 
    the 
    side 
    of 
    the 
    road 

    Bringing 
    it 
    up 
    for 
    the 
    gutter 

    After 
    putting 
    it 
    down 
    for 
    the 
    crowd? 

    Verse 9

    I said 
    would

    • 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.
