    • Verse 1
    I went 
    into 
    a restaurant 

    as hungry 
    as 
    a bear, 

    And like 
    a raving 
    maniac 
    I grabbed 

    the bill 
    of fare 

    The waiter 
    said 
    "what will 

    you have," "give 
    me a steak" 
    I say 

    He 
    took my 
    order 'bout 
    his 

    head and 
    slowly 
    walked away 

    And 
    he never 
    came back, 

    he never 
    came back, 

    Though 
    I waited 
    an hour 
    or 
    more 

    Oh 
    his face I 
    will break, 

    if 
    he 
    don't bring 
    that steak, 

    When we 
    meet on 
    that beautiful 
    shore 

    Verse 2
    A 
    jay 
    who lived down 
    on the farm 

    came 
    into see 
    the 
    town, 

    Registered 
    at Smith's hotel 

    as 
    Mr Hayseed Brown 

    A 
    jay he was 
    so y'all 
    admit with whiskers 
    green 
    as 
    grass, 


    Pulled off 
    his shoes jumped 
    in
    to bed 

    and 
    then blew 
    out 
    the gas 

    And he never 
    came 
    back, 

    he never 
    came 
    back
    , 

    And 
    as they 
    broke down 
    the door, 

    Oh the last 
    words 
    he said, just 

    before 
    he dropped 
    dead, 

    Were 
    "we'll 
    meet on 

    that beautiful 
    shore" 

    I 
    went 
    into 
    a circus show, 
    I took 
    my 
    Verse 3

    mother in 
    law 

    She laughed at everything 
    she saw 'til she 

    nearly broke 
    her jaw 

    Nearby 
    I 
    saw a big 
    balloon 

    which 
    proved to be 
    my friend 

    I 
    threw 
    her in, 
    I 
    cut the rope, 

    and up 
    she did 
    as
    cend 

    And she 
    never 
    came back, 

    she 
    never 
    came back, 

    Though 
    we 
    waited 
    for six 

    days or 
    more 

    Oh, there's 
    one thing 
    I know, 

    I will 
    go down 
    below, 

    If 
    we 
    meet on 
    that beautiful 
    shore

      Best Tuning App Ever

      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.

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
