  • Verse 1
    My 
    name 
    is 
    Balthazar, 

    Impresario 

    And you'll find 
    me 
    at 
    the 

    bottom 
    of the page 

    have 
    artist's 
    hands, 

    though 
    I'm 
    a working 
    man 

    But my 
    craft 
    has 
    been 
    forgotten 
    by 
    the 
    age 

    So 
    to
    night 
    will 
    be 
    my 
    last 
    night 

    on 
    the stage 

    Verse 2

    This 
    is 
    my family's 
    trade, 

    my 
    father 
    built 
    this 
    place 

    At 
    the turning 
    of 
    the twentieth 
    century 

    have 
    been 
    working 
    here, 

    for 
    some 
    fifty 
    years 

    But the young 
    these 
    days 

    are glued 
    to TV 
    screens 

    And 
    the 
    old 
    girl 
    is 
    dying 
    on 

    her feet 

    Verse 3

    Once 
    more 
    to 
    the boards 

    One 
    more 
    curtain 
    call 

    Give 
    the crowd 
    everything 
    they're 

    asking 
    for 
    and 
    more 

    Always 
    make 
    them 
    laugh 

    Try 
    to make 
    them 
    cry 

    Always 
    take 
    the stage 
    like 
    it's 
    the 
    last 

    night 
    of 
    your 
    life 

    Verse 4

    My 
    friends 
    from theatre 
    school 
    all 

    thought 
    was 
    fool 

    For leaving 
    Shakespeare 

    for 
    the 
    music 
    hall 

    And now 
    my son's 
    left 
    home, 

    and set 
    out 
    on 
    his 
    own 

    And the critics 
    think 
    we're 

    quaint 
    but set 
    to 
    fall 

    But 
    they've 
    only 
    seen 
    the show 

    from 
    the 
    stalls 

    Verse 5

    Once 
    more 
    to 
    the boards 

    One 
    more 
    curtain 
    call 

    Give 
    the crowd 
    everything 
    they're 

    asking 
    for 
    and 
    more 

    Always 
    make 
    them 
    laugh 

    Try 
    to make 
    them 
    cry 

    Always 
    take 
    the stage 
    like 
    it's 

    the 
    last 
    night 
    of 
    your 
    life 

    Verse 6
    And 
    all 
    the 
    things 
    I've seen 

    behind 
    these 
    tattered 
    seams 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    upturned 
    faces 
    with 

    the lamplight 
    in 
    their 
    eyes 

    And each 
    imperfect 
    turn 

    flickers 
    as 
    it 
    burns 

    Only 
    last
    s a mo
    ment 
    but 

    for me 
    they'll 
    never 
    die 

    Verse 7

    We 
    are 
    re
    spected 

    We're 
    not 
    re
    membered 

    We are 
    the ghost
    of Vaudeville 

    Unnumbered 

    Verse 8
    We 
    are the 

    fathers 
    of 
    the halls 

    Yeah 
    but 
    we'll never 

    be 
    fam
    ous 

    We 
    aren't just 
    artists, 

    we 
    are something 
    more: 

    We're 
    enter
    tainers 

    Interlude 1


    I smooth 
    my 
    Verse 9
    thinning 
    hair 

    in 
    gilded 
    mirror 

    To try 
    to 
    hide 
    the tell- 
    signs 
    of 
    my 
    age 

    My 
    name 
    is 
    Balthazar, 
    Impresario 

    And to
    night 
    will 
    be 
    my 
    last 

    night 
    on 
    the stage.

    • 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.
