There was a fella
C
Am
G
Am
and he had a dog, a pet dog.
G
And he used to walk his dog around
C
Am
every now and again.
F
And anyway, well,
G
it was a hot summer day
and he was walking his dog
C
F
and he thought he'd stop off at the bar
Am
and have himself a beer
F
Am
and he did just that.
C
He walked into the bar
Am
and he walked up to the bar
and he put his change on the bar
F
and he said to the bartender,
Am
G
I'd like a glass of beer.
C
The bartender said, certainly, sir,
Am
coming right up.
Meanwhile,
F
while he was waiting for his beer,
G
he looked down the bar
and there was this
C
A fella sitting down the bar
Am
with a big, black, slick,
C
Am
mean -looking dog.
Now the fella down the other
side of the bar
C
Am
with a short, fat, squat,
F

D
ugly little yellow dog said, Nothing.
G
But the guy with the big, black, slick,
mean -looking dog
C
G
looked down the bar,
Am
the guy with the short, fat, squat,
F
ugly little yellow dog said, Hey,
G
that sure is an ugly little dog
C
you got there, mister.
Am
All short, fat, squat, ugly, and yellow.
F
G
Well, the guy with the short, fat, squat,
ugly, little, yeller dog said
F
to the guy with the big, black, sleek,

mean -looking dog said,
Yeah, well, he may be ugly,
F
G
C
but he sure can fight.
F
And the guy with the big, black, sleek,

The guy with the short, fat, squat,

and let them fight it out.
Am
F
Dm

I'll put a five on mine, you put a five on yours,

F
Am
They figured that was a good idea
F
and they did just that.
Am
They took them out in the back
G
and they let them fight it out.
C
And the short, fat, squat,
Am
ugly little yeller dog
just kicked you -know -what out
F
G
of the big, black, slick, mean -looking dog.
F
Am
C
And when the fight was over,
Am
the big, black, slick, mean -looking dog
was over in the corner licking his wounds.

Short, fat, squat,
Am
ugly little yeller dog
Em
was hopping around.
The guy with the big, black, slick,
E
mean -looking dog
allowed his, uh...
Em
Yeah, the short, fat, squat,
Am
ugly little yeller dog
E
sure could fight.
Am
But... I never seen a dog
D
Am
look like that before.
F
All short, fat, squat,
ugly little and yeller.
What kind of dog is that anyway?
The guy with the short, fat,
squat, yellow dog
instead of the guy with the big, black,
slick,
mean -looking dog.
Yeah, well, it used to be an alligator
before I cut his tail off
G
and painted him yellow. work.

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
