Em
A
D
I was
G
down upon my luck
C
G
at the jobs were hard to find.
D
G
I was sort of short on cash
Em
A
and my bill was way behind.
D
G
So I went to see my lifelong friend,
C
an old man now betrayed.
A
D
I figured as hell he'd help me out
A
D
with this fortune he'd made.
G
I said, old pal, I need your help,
C
G
and I hate to be so bold
But remember when I saved your life
Em
A
down at the swimming hole?
D
G
Now I'd like to ask a favor,
C
if you can see your way
C#dim
D
E
I'd like to get a little loan,
A
D
G
then I heard him say
Excuse me, total stranger,
C
I can't seem to recall
G
Now are you really certain
A
that we've ever met at all?
D
G
I'd really like to help you out,
C
as he opened wide the door
G
A so long total stranger
Em
D
G
that I've never seen be fore
Now once I had a girlfriend
C
G
who really caught my eye
D
G
And when my wife was out of town,
A
D
I'd caught her on the sly
G
We'd taken all the night spots
C
and honky -tonk around
D
Join in all the parties
A
D
and really paint the town
G
C
But then one night my wife came home,
G
she must have smelled a rat
She looked around from place
Em
to place
A
D
and found where I was at
G
Well, there we were, all covered up,
C
I knew that I was dead
A
But before my wife could say a word,
D
I jumped right up and said
G
She's just a total stranger
C
who came in off the street
G
The place was kinda crowded,
Em
A
D
so I offered her a seat
G
Now, I couldn't leave this lady
C
just a -standin' on the floor
G
Em
She's just a total stranger
A
G
that I've never seen be fore
Now, her friend said, let's go huntin'
C
I've got the gun and shells,
G
and the birds are ready flyin'
A
And I think we'll do quite well
D
G
But he shot a half a dozen
C
And then said, I suppose
A
I really ought to tell you that
D
The hunting season's closed
G
About that time he heard a noise
C
And stepped behind a tree
G
He took the gun, the birds,
A
the shells
D
And gave them all to me
G
Up stepped the old game warden
C
And found me standing there
A
Em
And then to my complete sur prise
A
G
I heard my friend declare
He's just a total stranger
C
And I was passin' by
G
Em
I saw this total stranger
A
D
shoot those birds out of the sky
G
It's a shame the way some people
C
these laws they do ignore
G
Like this total stranger
Em
A
D
that I've never seen be fore
G
C

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.”
