Verse 1
G
I'm gonna tell you a story
D
that's all about
G
This job I had one time as a talent scout,
hmm.
I had a hard day at the office and the
D
boss wasn't in town
G
The day this hired legged guitar picker
just happened to come around.
Well, he walks in my office with
C
a great big grin,
D
And folks that's where
G
my story really begins.
He said, 'Son my name is
C
Boregard Rippy.
I come to you from Tupelo Mississippi.
D
I write songs that'll sing like a bird,
G
I play licks on my guitar like
you ain't never heard.
But I'm down on my luck and
things are just a little slack.
C
I gotta quarter in my pocket
and a shirt on my back.
D
But you buy me some supper and give
me a place I can sleep
G
He said 'I'll sing you some songs
D
G
that'll rock your head to sleep.

Db
with some kind of a nut
When he pulled out that pack
of used cigarette butts.
Eb
So that's when I told him
'We can't use you today'
Ab
So I handed the boy a dollar
and sent him on his way
Well the boss got back and
we both had a laugh
Db
When I told him 'bout the
Tupelo Mississippi Flash
Eb
And pretty soon I had the story
circling around
Ab
E
About this Mississippi nut
Ab
that we had in our town.

I said, 'watch him everybody,

He walks around calling himself the Tupelo

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!!!”

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.”
