    these are all separated by colons.

    A drunken night in my house,

    San Francisco,
    G

    I lay asleep, darkness.

    I revisited Mexico City

    and saw Joan Burrows leaning

    forward in a garden chair,
    Bb

    arms on her knees.
    G
    Bb

    She studied me with clear eyes

    and ironic smile,
    G
    Bb
    G

    her face restored to a fine beauty,
    G

    tequila and salt had made strange
    F
    Em
    E

    before the bullet in her brow.
    Am
    F

    We talked of a life since then.
    Am

    Well, what's Burroughs doing

    now?

    Bill on earth, North Africa.
    G
    F

    Where's Julie staying then,
    F#m

    with your parents?
    F
    D

    Oh, in Karawack?
    F

    Jack still jumps
    Bb

    with the same beat genius as before,

    E

    notebooks filled with Buddha.

    I hope he makes it, she laughed.
    C

    Is Hunky still in the can?

    No, last time I saw him on Times Square.
    G

    in the house Lucien,
    Am

    married, drunk,
    E

    and golden in the East.
    F
    Gm

    You, new kicks in the West.
    E

    Then I knew she was a dream
    F
    E

    and questioned her.
    Abm

    Joan, what kind of
    Am

    knowledge have the dead?
    Bb

    Can they still love these mortal

    acquaintances?
    Gm
    Em

    What do you remember of us?
    F

    She faded in front of me.

    The next instant,
    C

    I saw her rain -stained tombstone rear
    Bb

    an illegible epitaph

    under the gnarled branch
    Abm

    of a small tree in the wild grass
    F
    E

    of an unvisited garden in Mexico.

    • 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.”
