Ballad Of The Lights chords by 
Peter Broderick 
N/A•
Key: D major•BPM: 65
Verse 1
D
A young man sits on
the bridge after nightfall
and looks across the Hudson
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 are talking to him,
and he asks if they are.
My mind settles down
G
D
on those lights from New Jersey
G
D
G
Why I chose New Jersey to look at,
D
I don't know
Well one thing is sure,
G
I'm here to see those lights
A
G
D
It doesn't matter, don't matter, no,
G
D
where I come from or where I go
A
Well, what does it mean?
G
D
Those lights, I can't resist
G
A
The thought that they are twinkling
D
G
D
G
to each other
D
His leisure hours are spent
G
A
D
in a way that mystifies his
G
younger years.
D
G
Thinking hard, he has no say
A
D
what's in his eyes and meets his ears.
Well, one thing is sure,
I'm here to see those lights
G
A
G
It doesn't matter, don't matter no
D
G

Where I come from or where I go
Well what does it mean?
A
G
D
Those lights, I can't resist
G
A
The thought that they are twinkling
D
To each other
G
Are they?
D
G
D
Are they?
A
Bm
Lights are shining bright in it
G
D
But it's not home for me
G
D
Different lights across the river
G
Lights of industry
D
A
D
They are so beautiful
G
Very, very, very beautiful
D
G
A
Please, Mr. Mystery
D
G
D
If I sit here, oh so still,
G
D
all alone, it's only me
G
Will all those lights have
Bm
lost their meaning?
G
A
Please, oh Mr. Mystery
D
G
D
Suddenly, the ice that was floating
down the Hudson stops
G
D
G
The flow has stopped, and so, dejected,
D
he wanders back into the city,
G
D
back to the bars,
G
back to where he first found happiness.
D
But he didn't notice,
on the brick warehouse wall,
G
D
the hulking, lurking shadow of a human
G
Mr. Mystery
D

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

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
