Verse 1
A

Now Alice
D

needed money. I put ten dollars on the breeze.
A

As the wind died away,
D

she sank way below her knees.
G
D

And as a hurricane passed by,
Em
D

she clutched the money from the sky.
Em
D

She must have been at least
C

a fathom high.
A

She works the forty second beat,
C#
D

on forty second street,
A

With all her golden ambitions,
D

and dead rhinestones in her feet.
G
D

And when a stranger said she sucked,

she just smiled, believing luck,
Em

As she climed into his truck,
D
C
D

to make a buck.
Bm
D

Oh my god,
G
D

she's running 'round the trees,
Em
D

Said she couldn't touch them
A
D
A

because they're so real.
D
G

Alice you remind me of Manhattan;
D
G

The seedy and the snaz, the

shoeboys and the satins.
D
C#
G

Like a throne made of gilt that too

many johns have sat in.

Oh, I got my eyes on you.

A

Now keep a watch on your watch,
D
C#

and a watch on her watch,
D
A

'Cause if you ain't too careful,
D

he's gonna kick you in the crotch.
G

And you're out in the cold,
D
G
D

and you know that you've been rolled,
Em

And the cops don't even stop,
G
D
C

and you feel old.
A

See, Alice really liked you,
D

but you stayed a while too long.
C#
A

Now she wants you to forget it,
D

and come back before too long.
G

But make it quick if you could,
D
G
Em

she's gonna star in Hollywood.
D
Em

The producer seems to think
D
G
C
G

she's kinda good.
Bm
D

Me and my camera eyes,
G
D

sitting on a fence,
Em
D

Laughing at the light
A

s of New York City.
D
Ab

Roll up.
A

See Alice on the palace,
D

where her name adorns the boards.
A

Ain't no flash in her Cannes,
D

she got the willpower of a horse.
G

And it's a long way to Broad
D

way from a forty second lay,
Em
D

Or is it really just a couple
C

of blocks away?
A

Now, I wonder if she wonders,
D

if I wonder, if she wonders
A

About the times I put her down,
D

when she seemed to be right under?
G
D

She told me morals are traditions,
Em
D

contradictions, superstitions.
Em
D

See, Alice is always based
C
G

on split decisions.
Bm
A

Me and my stupidity,
D
G

sittin' on a fence,
D
Em
D

And dig ging what I thought
A

was New York City.
D
G

Oh, Alice, you remind me of Manhattan;
D

The seedy and snaz, the

shoeboys and the satins.
D

Like a throne made of gilt,
G

that too many johns have sat in.
Ab
G

Oh, I like you.
D
C#

Yeah, Alice,
D
G

the lights were meant for you.
D
C#

Your weaknesses, successful,
G

and your selfishness the clue.
D

You gotta lose what you get,
G

and for what you get, you lose.
A
Ab

Oh, I know it.

Oh, Alice, don't stop

and think a minute,
D

Or your brain is gonna get ya,
G

drop your heart right in it.
D

And you're a shooting star,
G
Ab

and you'll die if you don't win it.

  • 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.
