Verse 1
G

Roy taught me how to play baseball
D

and do the foxtrot on the harp

Taught me how to swim and fish and tell
G

the difference between bass and carp

Taught me how to snap my fingers whistle
C

through my teeth oh Uncle Roy
D

He sure took time to make times good
G

for a little pesty half grown boy

Aunt Kathleen would wash my clothes and blow
D

my nose whenever nature called

Darn my socks and damn the pox but kept
G

me out of school from fall to fall

Gave me movie money though I never
C

did my chores the way I should
D

To a nasty little nephew Kathleen
G

you sure made aunthood awful good

And Freddy used to laughed to me
D

whenever something valuable got broke

He taught me how to climb a tree about birds
G

and bees and taught me how to smoke

He took me on a first date I was scared
C

to death but he said you'll do fine
D

Good buddy you're my cousin but
G

you seem more like a brother of mine

But you can't go home to the good times
D

you can't go home anymore

Roy's all crippled up now Kathleen

can hardly see
G

Freddy's off somewhere to fight a war

But you can't go home to the good times
D

you can't go home anymore

Everything has changed and who

were there to blame

Gone far that you just
G

can't go home
Ab

[ strings ]

Looking back I'd say I had the best
Eb

childhood that money just can't buy

And I owe it all to free good folks who
Ab

took me in when mom began to die

They always told me son just do what's right
Db

and you'll be proud just wait and see
Eb

Well Roy and Kathleen I'm only proud that
Ab

you're the ones who's proud of me

But you can't go home to the good times
Eb

you can't go home anymore

Roy's rheumatism Kathleen's cataract and
Ab

Freddy's fightin' someone else's war

  • 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.
