    Verse 1
    Standing 
    at 
    the 
    bus 
    stop 

    with 
    my 
    shopping 
    in 
    my 
    hands 

    When 
    I'm 
    over
    hearing 
    elder 
    ladies 

    As 
    the 
    rumors 
    start 
    to 
    fly 

    Hear 
    them 
    in 
    the 
    school 
    yard, 

    in 
    the 
    scrap 
    yard 

    In 
    the 
    chip 
    shop, 
    in 
    the 
    phone 
    box 

    In 
    the 
    pool 
    hall, 
    at 
    the 
    shoe 
    store 

    Every 
    corner 
    turned 
    around 

    Verse 2
    It 
    started 
    with 
    school 
    girl 
    who 
    was 
    running 

    Running 
    home 
    to 
    her 
    mam 
    and 
    dad 

    Told 
    them 
    she 
    was 
    playing 

    in 
    the 
    change 
    room 

    of 
    her 
    local 
    football 
    side 

    They 
    said 
    "tell 
    us 
    again" 

    so 
    she 
    told 
    them 
    again 

    They 
    said 
    "tell 
    us 
    the 
    truth 

    find 
    it hard 
    to 
    believe 

    'cause 
    he 
    taught 
    our 
    Steve 

    he 
    even 
    trained 
    me 

    taught 
    uncle 
    john 
    who's 
    father 
    of 
    three" 

    Chorus 1
    Only 
    takes 
    one 
    tree 

    to 
    make 
    thousand 
    matches 

    Only 
    takes 
    one 
    match 

    to 
    burn 
    thousand 
    trees 

    Thou
    sand 
    trees 

    Verse 3
    You 
    see 
    it 
    in 
    the 
    class 
    room 

    In 
    the 
    swimming 
    pool 

    Where 
    the 
    matchstick 
    men 
    are 
    made 

    At 
    the 
    scouts 
    hall, 
    at 
    the 
    football 

    Where 
    the 
    wise 
    we 
    trust 
    are 
    paid 

    They 
    all 
    honour 
    his 
    name 

    He 
    did 
    lot 
    for 
    the 
    game 

    Got 
    his 
    name 
    knocked 
    up 

    above 
    the 
    sports 
    ground 
    gates 

    Now 
    they 
    are 
    ripping 
    them 
    down 

    stamping 
    the 
    ground 

    Picture 
    gathers 
    dust 
    in 
    the 
    bar 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    only 
    takes 
    one 
    tree 

    to 
    make 
    thousand 
    matches 

    Only 
    takes 
    one 
    match 

    to 
    burn 
    thousand 
    trees 

    Thou
    sand 
    trees 

    Bridge 1
    Wake 
    up 
    and 
    smell 
    the 
    rain 

    Shake 
    up 
    he's 
    back 
    to 
    stay 

    He 
    hasn't 
    been 
    on 
    holi
    day 

    Growing 
    seeds 
    don't 
    be
    lieve 

    why 
    he's 
    been 
    away 




    Verse 4
    In 
    the 
    school 
    yard, 
    change 
    room 

    Playing 
    fields, 
    bathroom 

    Phone 
    box, 
    office 
    blocks 

    Corners 
    turned 
    around 

    They 
    keep 
    doubting 
    the 
    flame 

    Tossing 
    the 
    blame 

    Got 
    his 
    name 
    knocked 
    up 

    above 
    the 
    sports 
    ground 
    gates 

    Now 
    they 
    are 
    ripping 
    them 
    down 

    stamping 
    the 
    ground 

    Picture 
    gathers 
    dust 
    in 
    the 
    bar 

    Chorus 3
    And 
    only 
    takes 
    one 
    tree 

    to 
    make 
    thousand 
    matches 

    Only 
    takes 
    one 
    match 

    to 
    burn 
    thousand 
    trees 

    Thou
    sand 
    trees 

    Thou
    sand 
    trees 

    Thou
    sand 
    trees

    • 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.
