    Verse 1
    I've 
    been 
    so 
    sad 

    Since 
    you 
    said 
    my 
    accent 
    was 
    bad 

    He's 
    worn 
    a 
    frown 

    This 
    Cale
    donia 
    clown 

    I'm 
    just 
    going 
    to 
    have 
    to 
    learn 
    to hesitate 

    To 
    make 
    sure 
    my 
    words 

    Verse 2
    On 
    your 
    Saxen ears 
    don't 
    grate 

    But 
    I 
    wouldn't 
    know 
    a 
    single 
    word 
    to say 

    If 
    I 
    flattened 
    all 
    the 
    vowels 

    And 
    threw 
    the 


    'are' away 

    Verse 3
    You 
    say 
    that 
    if 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    get 
    ahead 

    The 
    language 
    I 
    use 
    should 

    he 
    left 
    for 
    dead 

    It 
    doesn't 
    please 
    your 
    ears 

    Verse 4
    And 
    though 
    you 
    tell 
    it 
    like 
    a 
    leg 
    pull 

    I 
    think 
    your 
    still 
    full 
    of 
    John 
    Bull 

    You 
    just 
    re
    fuse 
    to 
    bear 

    Verse 5
    Some days 
    I stand 

    On 
    your green 
    and 
    pleasant 
    land 

    Now 
    dare I show 
    face 

    When 
    my diction 
    is 
    such a 
    disgrace 

    Verse 6
    Oh 
    what 
    can 
    I 
    do 

    To 
    be 
    understood 
    by 
    you 

    Perhaps 
    for some 
    money 

    I 
    could 
    talk 
    like 
    a 
    bee 
    dripping 
    honey.

    • 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.”
