    I'm gonna tell you a story

    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.

    Well I knew I was in a room
    Ab
    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

    • 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.
