    Verse 1
    Big 
    gorilla 
    at 
    the 

    L.A. 
    Zoo 

    Snatched 
    the glasses 
    right 
    off 
    my 
    face 

    Took 
    the keys 
    to my 
    BMW 

    Left 
    me 
    here 
    to take 
    his 
    place 

    Verse 2
    I 
    wish 
    the 
    ape 
    a 
    lot 
    of success 

    I'm sorry 
    my 
    apartment's a mess 

    Most 
    of 
    all 
    I'm 
    sorry 
    if 
    I 
    made 
    you 
    blue 

    I'm 
    betting 
    the 
    gorilla 
    will, 
    too 

    Verse 3
    They 
    say 
    Jesus 
    will 
    find 

    you 
    wherever 
    you 
    go 

    But 
    when 
    He'll 
    come 
    looking 
    for 
    you, 

    they 
    don't 
    know 

    In 
    the mean 
    time, 
    keep 
    your 
    profile 
    low 

    Gor
    illa, 
    you're 
    a 
    desper
    ado 

    Verse 4
    He 
    built 
    a 
    house 
    on 
    an 
    acre 
    of 
    land 

    He 
    called 
    it 
    'Villa 
    Goril
    la 
    Now' 

    I hear 
    he's 
    getting 
    divorced 

    Laying 
    low 
    at 
    L'Ermitage, of course 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    Then 
    the 
    ape 
    grew 
    very 
    depressed 

    Went 
    through 
    Transac
    tional Analysis 

    He 
    plays 
    racquetball and 
    runs 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    Still 
    he's 
    shackled 
    to 
    a 
    platinum 
    chain 

    Verse 6
    Big 
    gorilla 
    at 
    the 
    L.A. 
    Zoo 

    Snatched 
    the glasses 

    right 
    off 
    my 
    face 

    Took 
    the keys 
    to my 
    BMW 

    Left 
    me 
    here 
    to take 
    his 
    place

      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.

      Well-Designed App

      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.
