    Verse 1
    See 
    the lady 

    Smiles 
    as if 
    to tell 

    Her 
    son 
    remembers 
    everyone 

    Treats 
    'em 
    all 
    quite 
    well 

    He 
    never 
    asked 
    for promises 

    And 
    now 
    his fame 
    is 
    wide 

    And 
    everyone 
    who 
    knew 
    him 
    well 

    shares 
    little 
    pride 

    Verse 2

    [Chorus:] 

    Ain't he 
    a genius? 

    The boy's 
    become 
    a star 

    And 
    he 
    smiles 
    upon 
    the faces 

    Who 
    wish 
    they 
    could 
    go 
    far 

    Verse 3

    Not 
    long 
    ago 
    they criticized 

    The genius 
    only 
    wrote 

    And 
    now 
    they 
    listen 
    spellbound 

    With 
    lumps 
    caught 
    in 
    their 
    throat

    Verse 4

    His 
    virtue 
    was 
    sheer 
    poverty 

    His 
    vice 
    was 
    reading 
    plays 

    While 
    other 
    children 
    starved 
    and 
    fought 

    He 
    learned 
    just 
    what 
    to say 

    Through 
    tension 
    and 
    confession 

    He 
    beat 
    the 
    monster 
    down 

    Then 
    surfaced 
    in 
    society 
    no 
    longer 
    under

    Interlude 1
    ground 



    Verse 5
    [Chorus] 
    Now they 
    remember 


    Talk 
    only 
    of 
    his 
    good 

    While 
    jealousy 
    flows 
    in 
    their 
    veins 

    And 
    says 
    wish 
    could 

    Ain't 
    he 
    a genius?

    • 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.
