    Uncle 
    Toad 
    thinks, 

    they're 
    way

    a utility 
    shack 

    He

    in 
    at

    house 

    At 
    the girls 
    as 
    quiet 
    as 
    mouse

    pile 

    Out 
    by 
    the back 
    door, 
    look 
    at him 
    smile 

    He 
    said, 
    ?Kid 
    stop 
    drinkin' 
    that 
    brew 

    Plan 
    while

    Uncle 
    Toad 
    sittin' 
    by the 
    swimmin' 
    pool 

    Sits 
    in 
    the sun 
    when the 
    weather 
    turns 
    cool 

    Sits 
    in 
    the sun 
    when 
    the girls 
    walk 
    by 

    Maybe 
    they 
    think, 

    he's 
    a little 
    bit 
    sly 

    Verse 8
    Uncle 
    Toad

    Verse 9
    Uncle 
    Toad 
    sittin' 
    by the 
    cool 
    mill 
    race 

    All 
    day 
    long 
    with 
    a grin 
    on his 
    face 

    He 
    said, 
    ?Boys 
    you 
    had better 
    not 
    try 

    Kissin' 
    'em 
    girls 
    'cause 
    I won't 
    stand 

    by?

    Toad 
    here's 
    lookin' 
    at

    your wish 
    too

    • 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.
