she loved the Monkey Man

'fore she went to Vietnam

just across the Jersey line

So they hopped into a stolen car,

a state-trooper close behind

hot in pursuit

Some place by Rahwey Prison

said, "There's someplace I gotta go"

Am
said, "It's best that you don't know."
The undercover cop was found

face down in a field

Am
Now the town of Jersey City
G
is quieting down again
F
I'm sitting in a gambling club
Am
called the Lion's Den
The TV set was blown up,
G
every bit of it is gone
F
Ever since the nightly news showed
Am
that the Monkey Man was on
I guess I'll go to Florida
G
and get myself some sun
F
There ain't no more opportunity here,
Am
everything's been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter,
G
sometimes I think of Jan
F
Sometimes I don't think about nothing
Am
but the Monkey Man

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.”
Great to tune and play
