  • Verse 1

    One 
    summer 
    evening, 
    drunk 
    to 
    hell 

    sat 
    there 
    nearly 
    lifeless 

    An 
    old 
    man 
    in 
    the 
    corner 
    sang 

    "Where 
    the 
    Water 
    Lilies 
    Grow" 

    And 
    on 
    the 
    jukebox, 
    Johnny 
    sang 

    A
    bout 
    thing 
    called 
    love 

    And 
    it's 
    "How 
    are 
    you, 
    kid?' 

    and 
    "What's 
    your 
    name?" 

    And 
    "How'd 
    you 
    bloody 
    know? 

    Verse 2
    In 
    blood 
    and 
    death, 
    'neath 
    screaming 
    sky 

    laid 
    down 
    on 
    the 
    ground 

    And 
    the 
    arms 
    and 
    legs 
    of 
    other 
    men 

    Were 
    scattered 
    all 
    a
    round 

    Some 
    cursed, 
    some 
    prayed 

    some 
    prayed, 
    then 
    cursed 

    Then 
    prayed, 
    then 
    bled 
    some 
    more 

    And 
    the 
    only 
    thing 
    that 
    could 
    see 

    Was 
    pair 
    of 
    brown 
    eyes 

    that 
    was 
    looking 
    at 
    me 

    But 
    when 
    we 
    got 
    back 

    labeled 
    parts 
    one 
    to 
    three 

    There 
    was 
    no 
    pair 
    of 
    brown 
    eyes 

    waiting 
    for 
    me 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    rovin', 
    rovin', 
    rovin' 
    I'll 
    go 

    For 
    pair 
    of 
    brown 
    eyes 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    looked 
    at 
    him, 
    he 
    looked 
    at 
    me 

    All 
    could 
    do 
    was 
    hate 
    him 

    While 
    Ray 
    and 
    Philomena 
    sang 

    Of 
    my 
    elusive 
    dreams 

    saw 
    the 
    streams, 
    the 
    rolling 
    hills 

    Where 
    his 
    brown 
    eyes 
    were 
    waiting 

    And 
    thought 
    a
    bout 
    pair 
    of 
    brown 
    eyes 

    That 
    waited 
    once 
    for 
    me 

    Verse 4
    So 
    drunk 
    to 
    hell, 
    left 
    the 
    place 


    Sometimes 
    crawling, 
    sometimes 
    walking 

    hun
    gry 
    sound 
    came 
    across 
    the 
    breeze 

    So 
    gave 
    the 
    walls 
    talking 

    And 
    heard 
    the 
    sounds 
    of 
    long 
    ago 

    From 
    the 
    old 
    ca
    nal 

    And 
    the 
    birds 
    were 
    whistling 
    in 
    the 
    trees 

    Where 
    the 
    wind 
    was 
    gently 
    laughing 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    rovin', 
    rovin', 
    rovin' 
    I'll 
    go 

    rovin', 
    rovin', 
    rovin' 
    I'll 
    go 

    And 
    rovin', 
    rovin', 
    rovin' 
    I'll 
    go 

    For 
    pair 
    of 
    brown 
    eyes 

    for 
    pair 
    of 
    brown 
    eyes 

    Interlude 2


    Chorus 3
    And 
    rovin', 
    rovin', 
    rovin' 
    I'll 
    go 

    And 
    rovin', 
    rovin', 
    rovin' 
    I'll 
    go 

    And 
    rovin', 
    rovin', 
    rovin' 
    I'll 
    go 

    For 
    pair 
    of 
    brown 
    eyes 

    for 
    pair 
    of 
    brown 
    eyes

    • 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.
