I'm a mean mother -hubba,

Ask the prince of darkness about the

Sometimes I kill a jackal and

suck out all the blood

Steal myself a station wagon,

drive it into the mine

I know you've seen my headlight

and the honkin' of my horn

I'm calling out my bullhounds,

chase the devil out the corn

Last night I cracked the

I was born in a taxicab,

I ain't never going home

What you think is sunshine is

just a twinkle in my eye

I got a ring around my

When I get lonesome,

a tear falls from my cheek

There's gonna be an ocean in

the middle of the week

Whistlin' past the graveyard,

Mean mother huffer popper, one -eyed jack

I come in on the night train

with an armful of boxcars

On the wings of a magpie

across a hooligan night

I'm gonna tear off a rainbow

and wear it for a tie

I never told the truth so how

in the hell could I tell a lie

Whistlin' past the graveyard,
E

steppin' on a crack

I'm a mean mother -hover -popper,

  • 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.
