Spiraling leapers,

wearing Nike sneakers

Some of them laugh, some of them sing
D

Some of them don't do
E

a goddamn thing
Am

Trip- skipping drifters,

grafters and lifters

Chicks with big tits,
F

school boys with zits

Moonlight circus of earthly delights
F#m


Pimpmobile cruising the soft velvet night
G

Deals going down,

Down into the subways,
D

the underground tunnels
C

A musician is playing,
E

a drunk stumbles and mumbles

Out in the park it's scary with frights
F

Somebody shot out all

the streetlights
E
Verse 2
Am


Hookers and bookies, floozies and boozers

All kinds of misfits, perverts and losers
D

Out of the limo that looks like a boat
E

The pimp steps out in a mink fur coat
F

Sporting a Fedora, that creates its own aura

A ruby- tooth grin and a diamond stick pin

A deal's going down this side

Verse 3
E

People walk on fleet feetOn the way

down 42nd Street

Except for the bums, down for the count

That one's dead but no one's found out

And look at the bitch,

with her dress up ass
F

When she moves that thing,
E

she must move it fast
Am

Cop with a nightstick, checking

around

A neon lit junkie slides to the ground

Here comes a flasher, a jogger, a punk

Check out that guy, drunk as a skunk
D

Blinking, reflection,

lights melt in the rain
E

The sidewalks are empty,

nothing's the same
D

4 A.M. people are crashing
E

Where the hookers are huddled

Colored raindrops are splashing
Am

The deals have gone down,

the bimbo's split town

Burned from the hustle,

burned from the hype
F

But under the lights, I'm feeling alright

  • 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.
