D

["Hot Lincoln"]

Gather round, you cats,

and you will hear
G

About a race I had in the stratosphere
A

Old Joe had a real slick jet, I mean
D

And I flew a souped -up X -15

Now don't tune me out,

I know what you're thinking
G

I ain't gonna bug you with no

Hot Rod Lincoln
A

No, that was a long time ago
D

By my granddad back in 1960

But now it's the 1997,
G

we raced our jets next door to heaven,

A

so if you're ready, I'll

start at the top.
D

Once I get going, I don't want to stop.

Well, they fastened our jets
G

underneath the wing of one of them

big B -70 things,
A

lifted us up to 80 ,000 feet

where the atmosphere and the
D

stratosphere meet.

The lake cut us loose

and we zoomed our way out,
G

broke the sound barrier,
A

there's no doubt, gave her the gun,

burnt the motor's spur,
D
A
D
G
A

revved her up to 4 ,000 revs.

D

Off to my left, old Joe was a -whizzin'
G

He's doin' okay in that rockin' of his
A

He was half -assed,

too, when we left Nevada
D

Now passin' below, Denver, Colorado

I noticed I was fallin' a little behind
G

So I thought I'd make this old

turtle unwind
A

This little baby is sweeter than sweet
D

at a hundred and forty -four
A
D

thousand feet

Now this hex 15 is a going thing,
G

got two little stubs, they call it a wing
A

Won't help much if your motor stalls,

D

hey looky below, Niagara Falls

I kept going up on a two

degree course,
G

old Joe kept coming, riding no horse

I noticed my instrument
A

s making a commotion
D

about the time we reached the
G
A

Atlantic Ocean
D


Now, along about here

you're supposed to

turn them around
G

and gather more speed as we angle

them down
A

Something had happened,

I heard a loud pop
D

Look out in time to see both motors stop

Now, this little bit wasn't wrote

in the script
G

When them jets went out, I nearly flipped

Cause when this dang
A

thing starts to fall
D

It floats like a two -ton cannonball

Woo -hoo!

Wait just a minute,

something's wrong here
G

This thing ain't falling,

going higher in the air
A

Faster and faster, the higher we go

How are we gonna get down?
D

Man, I don't know

Well, we circle the Earth

in three hours flat
G

Yes, I'm in orbit,

no doubt about that
A

Here I sit, just circling in space
D

What's that?

Don't ask me

I don't know who won the race

  • 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.
