What A Tavern... What A Town chords by 
Johnny Bond
N/A•
Verse 1
D
G
Howdy friends this is Johnny Bond.
When I was a kid one time
D
G
I was digging around in our attic
and I stumbled across an
D
old dime novel
G
entitled Ten Nights in a Barroom.
D
Now I never got a chance to read that book
but many's the time
G
that I've imagined what it was like.
C
D
Shall we daydream together?
G
Here's an old frontier town,
there's the saloon,
D
C
the doors swing open and
G
inside we hear,
there is a tavern in the town,
in the town,
D
and there my true love sits and down,
sits and down,
G
C
and drinks his wine as merry as can be,
D
G
and never, never thinks of me.
D
Fare thee well, for I must leave you,
G
do not let the parting grieve you,
D
and remember that the very
G
C
G
best of friends must part.
Adieu, adieu, kind friends, adieu, yes, adieu,
D
I can no longer stay with you,
stay with you, ho, ho,
G
C
I'll hang my heart on a weeping little tree,
D
G
and may the world go well with thee.
Now that we're inside the saloon,
let's meet the bartender.
His name is Bottle in Bond,
D
the bashful, brow -beaten,
G
brainwashed, birdbrain bartender,
C
and here he is.
D
The bar is open.
G
Ah, here comes my first drunk,
I mean customer.
D
How do you do, sir?
What'll you have?
G
D
Oh, wouldn't you like to know?
G
You don't like me, do you?
I believe that you are undoubtedly the ugliest man
I ever saw in my life. Ah, you're drunk.
D
G
C
Yeah, but tomorrow I'll be sober.
G
C
D
Sticks and stones.
Look, do you want a drink or don't you?
G
You talked me into it.
I'll have a martini,
but you gotta make it my way.
And just what is your way?
D
I'm gonna tell you.
G
You take two gallons of gin.
C
Two gallons of gin it is.
D
One tenth of a drop of vermouth.
G
Light on the vermouth.
No ice.
D
Lukewarm. No olive.
G
No olive, oh no.
D
G
Now, that's some martini.
C
G
Would you like me to rub a little bit of lemon
peel around the edge of the glass?
Look, Buster, if I wanted a lemonade,
I'd ask for it.
D
G
Ha ha ha!
Dig my grave both wide and deep,
wide and deep
D
Place tombstones at my head and feet,
head and feet
G
Ho ho and on my chest
C
Just carve a turtle dove
D
G
To signify I died for love
D
Fare thee well for I must leave thee
G
Do not let the parting grieve thee
D
And remember that the very
G
C
G
best of friends must part
Adieu, adieu, kind friends, adieu, yes, adieu
D
I can no longer stay with you, stay with you
G
Ho, ho, I'll hang my heart
C
on a weeping rose tree
D
G
Fare thee well, fare thee well, fare thee well

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
