Verse 1
C
A young man sits on the bridge after
F
nightfall and looks across the
Hudson
C
River to
New
Jersey.
He wonders about life and
he wonders if he'll ever get old.
He sees the lights, he wonders if they are talking to each other,
and he wonders if they
D
C
are talking to him, and he asks if they are.
My mind settles down on
F
G
those lights from
New

Jersey
F
Why I chose
New

Well one thing's sure,

F
G
His leisure hours are spent in a way that

mystifies his younger years, thinking hard
C

he has no say what's in his eyes
F

and meets his ears.
Well, one thing's sure,
F
I'm here to see those lights

Dejected, he wanders back into the city, back to the bars,

back to where he first found

But he didn't notice,

The hulking,

lurking shadow of a human
form,

Mystery.

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
