D
G
C
Our fam il ies
G
Bm
have traditions,
D
G
we've heard them a thousand times.
Our ancestors were
D
E
unequivocally right.
D
Bm
E
They frequently went on missions, to very peculiar clans,
Am
D
G
C
to lead the wretched heathen to the light.
G
B
Em
Though some of them were beaten up and some of them stampeded,
A
D
though quite a lot were eaten up, a few of them succeeded.
G
Bm
On one of these expeditions,
D
E
an uncle we thought a bore,
Em
A
Turned out to be more spirited than ever
D
C
Em
D
he'd been before.
Poor
Uncle
G
Harry wanted to be a missionary,
C
D
G
C
D
So he took a ship and sailed away.
G
D
G
This visionary, hotly pursued by dear
Aunt
Mary,
C
Found a
South
D
G
Sea isle on which to stay.
F
Bb
The nat ives greeted them kindly
F
Bb
and invited them to dine
G
On yams and clams and human
D
G
hams and vintage coconut wine
Eb
The taste of which was filthy,
A
but the after -effects divine
D
Poor
Uncle
G
Harry got a bit gay and longed to tarry
C
This
Aunt
B
Em
Mary couldn't quite allow
G
She lectured him severely on
D
G
a number of church affairs
C
But when she'd gone to bed he
D
G
made a getaway down the stairs
C
For he longed to hear the answer to a
B
Em
few of the maiden's prayers
Uncle
G
D
G
Harry's not a missionary now
D
Now
G
Bm
Uncle was just a seeker,
G
Em
a dreamer sin cerely blessed.
G
Of this there couldn't
D
be a shadow of doubt.
Bm
The fact that his flesh was weaker than even our merry
E
A
Am
D
G
C
guests took even her some time to figure out.
G
B
In all those languid latitudes,
Em
the atmosphere's exotic.
A
To take up moral attitudes would
D
be too idiotic.
G
Though nobody could be
Bm
meeker than
D
E
Uncle had been before,
Am
A
D
Am
G
Em
D
E
I'll bet today he's giving way at practically every pore.
D
Poor
Uncle
G
Harry, having become a missionary,
C
D
G
D
found the natives' morals rather crude.
G
He and
D
Aunt
G
C
Mary swiftly imposed an arbitrary ban
D
G
upon them shopping in the mew.
F
Bb
They all considered this silly and
F
Bb
decided to rebel.
G
They burnt his boots and several suits,
D
which made a horrible smell.
Em
Eb
The subtle implication was that
A
D
Uncle could go to hell.
Poor
Uncle
G
Harry, after some words with dear
Aunt
Mary,
C
B
thought the time had come to
Em
C
make a round.
G
B
He lined up all the older girls
D
G
in one of the local sheds,
C
B
but while he was reviling them and
D
G
tearing himself to shreds,
C
they took their mother -hubbards off
B
Em
and tied them around their heads.
Uncle
D
G
D
Harry's not a missionary now.
Poor
Uncle

Harry, after some tears from dear
Aunt

C
B

called upon the chiefs for a pow -wow.
G
C
G
They didn't brandish knives at him,
D
G
they really were awfully sweet.
C

They made concerted di ves at
G
D

him and offered him things to eat.

But when they threw their wives at him,

he had to admit defeat.
Em
Uncle
G
Harry's not a missionary now.

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
