    Verse 1
    Back 
    in 
    the 
    day 

    you 
    had 
    been 
    part 
    of 
    the 
    smart 
    set 

    You'd 
    holidayed 
    with 
    kings, 

    dined 
    out 
    with 
    starlets 

    From 
    London 
    to 
    New 
    York, 

    Cap 
    Ferrat 
    to 
    Capri 

    In 
    perfume 
    by 
    Chanel 

    and 
    clothes 
    by 
    Givenchy 

    You 
    sipped 
    Camparis 
    with 
    David 
    and 
    Peter 

    At 
    Noel's 
    parties 
    by 
    Lake 
    Geneva 

    Scaling 
    the 
    dizzy 
    heights 
    of 
    high 
    society 

    Armed 
    only 
    with 
    chequebook 

    and 
    family 
    tree 

    Chorus 1
    You 
    chased 
    the 
    sun 
    around 
    the 
    Cote 
    D'Azur 

    Until 
    the 
    light 
    of 
    youth 
    be
    came 
    obscured 

    And 
    left 
    you 
    on 
    your 
    own 

    and 
    in 
    the 
    shade 

    An 
    English 
    lady 
    of 
    certain 
    age 

    And 
    if 
    nice 
    young 
    man 

    would 
    buy 
    you 
    drink 

    You'd 
    say 
    with 
    conspira
    torial 
    wink 

    "You 
    wouldn't 
    think 
    that 
    was 
    seventy" 

    And 
    he'd 
    say 
    "No, 
    you 
    couldn't 
    be!" 

    Verse 2
    You 
    had 
    to 
    marry 
    someone 
    very 
    very 
    rich 

    So 
    that 
    you 
    might 
    be 
    kept 

    in 
    the 
    style 
    to 
    which 

    You 
    had 
    all 
    of 
    your 
    life 
    been 
    accustomed 
    to 

    But 
    that 
    the 
    socialists 

    had 
    taxed 
    away 
    from 
    you 

    You 
    gave 
    him 
    children, 
    girl 
    and 
    boy 

    To 
    keep 
    your 
    sanity 
    nanny 
    was 
    em
    ployed 

    And 
    when 
    the 
    time 
    came 

    they 
    were 
    sent 
    away 

    Well 
    that 
    was 
    simply 

    what 
    you 
    did 
    in 
    those 
    days 

    Chorus 2
    You 
    chased 
    the 
    sun 
    around 
    the 
    Cote 
    D'Azur 

    Until 
    the 
    light 
    of 
    youth 
    be
    came 
    obscured 

    And 
    left 
    you 
    on 
    your 
    own 

    and 
    in 
    the 
    shade 

    An 
    English 
    lady 
    of 
    certain 
    age 

    And 
    if 
    nice 
    young 
    man 

    would 
    buy 
    you 
    drink 

    You'd 
    say 
    with 
    conspira
    torial 
    wink 

    "You 
    wouldn't 
    think 
    that 
    was 
    sixty-three" 

    And 
    he'd 
    say 
    "No, 
    you 
    couldn't 
    be!" 

    Verse 3
    Your 
    son's 
    in 
    stocks 
    and 
    bonds 

    and 
    lives 
    back 
    in 
    Surrey 

    Flies 
    down 
    once 
    in 
    while, 
    leaves 
    in 
    hurry 

    Your 
    daughter 
    never 
    finished 

    her 
    finishing 
    school 

    Married 
    strange 
    young 
    man 

    of 
    whom 
    you 
    don't 
    approve 

    Your 
    husband's 
    hollow 
    heart 

    gave 
    out 
    one 
    Christmas 
    Day 

    He 
    left 
    the 
    villa 
    to 
    his 
    mistress 
    in 
    Marseille 

    And 
    so 
    you 
    come 
    here 

    to 
    es
    cape 
    your 
    little 
    flat 

    Hoping 
    that 
    someone 
    will 
    fill 
    your 
    glass 

    Chorus 3
    and 
    let 
    you 
    chat 
    about 
    how 

    You 
    chased 
    the 
    sun 
    around 
    the 
    Cote 
    D'Azur 

    Until 
    the 
    light 
    of 
    youth 
    be
    came 
    obscured 

    And 
    left 
    you 
    on 
    your 
    own 

    and 
    in 
    the 
    shade 

    An 
    English 
    lady 
    of 
    certain 
    age 

    And 
    if 
    nice 
    young 
    man 

    would 
    buy 
    you 
    drink 

    You'd 
    say 
    with 
    conspira
    torial 
    wink 

    "You 
    wouldn't 
    think 
    that 
    was 
    fifty-three" 

    And 
    he'd 
    say 
    "No, 
    you 
    couldn't 
    be!"

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
