    Verse 1
    Georgie 
    Porgie 
    used 
    to get 

    real 
    high 

    He 
    used 
    to 
    kiss 
    the world 

    till 
    it 
    made 
    him cry 

    He 
    was 
    under 
    the 
    bottle's 
    command 

    But 
    one 
    winter 
    he got 

    it together 
    and 

    Happiness 
    came 
    with 
    the warmer 

    weather 
    laying 
    across 
    all 
    the land 

    Verse 2

    He 
    had 
    a love 
    she 
    also 
    liked 
    to drink 

    She got 
    it 
    together 

    But 
    you 
    know what 
    I 
    think? 

    I think 
    she 
    was still 
    feeling 
    glum 

    Verse 3

    She took 
    a 
    gun 
    and 
    she shot 

    him 
    in 
    the 
    head 

    She 
    shot 
    herself 
    and so 
    they 
    were 
    wed 

    as 
    the 
    air 
    conditioner 
    hummed 

    Verse 4

    Sing 
    for 
    joy 

    Sing 
    for 
    laugh
    s 

    Sing 
    for 
    joy 

    Sing 
    for 
    joy 

    If 
    nothing 
    else 

    Sing 
    for 
    joy 

    Verse 5

    Mamma 
    killed 
    a pumpkin 

    She 
    thought 
    it was 
    a sweet 

    She 
    put 
    it 
    on 
    the table 

    But it 
    was still 
    meat 

    She 
    forgot 
    the sugar 
    again 


    Verse 6
    Daddy 
    came 
    home, 

    she 
    had tears 
    in her 
    eyes 

    He said 
    "Gimme 
    grilled cheese 

    And paper 
    bag 
    French 
    fries" 

    See, 
    he 
    forgot 
    the sugar 
    again 

    Verse 7

    We 
    had 
    a wander 
    seven 
    years 
    out 
    West 

    It 
    wasn't 
    exactly 
    the 
    wilderness 

    But 
    I felt 
    like 
    an 
    Israelite 


    Verse 8
    Mamma 
    is 
    a gypsy, 

    she'll 
    nev
    er find 
    her town 

    Daddy 
    went 
    to sea 
    but 

    the boat 
    went 
    down 

    And 
    the 
    flames 
    shot 
    into 
    the night

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
