    Verse 1
    Eyes 
    to take 
    you 
    dancing 

    Mouth 
    to 
    leave 
    your 
    wife 

    Legs 
    to 
    run 
    away 
    with 

    And 
    you 
    wonder 
    why? 

    Verse 2
    Heart 
    that 
    makes 
    you 
    bypass 

    Every 
    other 
    girl 

    Smile 
    that keeps 
    you 
    grinning 

    At the 
    madness 
    of 
    this 
    world 

    Verse 3
    But like 
    the blackbird 
    on 
    the 
    wire 

    I 
    will 
    not 
    take 
    the prey 
    on 
    you 

    You 
    wouldn't 
    want 
    me 
    to 

    For I 
    am 
    too soft 
    for such 
    a 
    thing 

    And 
    like 
    the blackbird 
    on 
    the wire 

    I 
    just 
    watch 
    you 
    by 

    The tears 
    I 
    knew 
    I'd 
    cry 

    Fall 
    un
    noticed 
    down 
    below 

    Verse 4
    Front 
    to 

    make 
    you 
    happy 

    Back 
    to make 
    you 
    weep 

    Lips 
    to keep 
    you 
    kissing 

    Whilst 
    everyone's 
    asleep 

    Verse 5
    Tears 
    to 
    break 
    a 
    backbone 

    Laughs 
    to 
    win 
    a 
    war 

    And people 
    come 
    and 
    ask 
    me 

    What 
    I 
    love 
    you 
    for 

    Verse 6
    But like 
    the blackbird 
    on 
    the 
    wire 

    I 
    will 
    not 
    take 
    the prey 
    on 
    you 

    You 
    wouldn't 
    want 
    me 
    to 

    For 
    I am too 
    soft 
    for such 
    a 
    thing 

    And like 
    the blackbird 
    on 
    the 
    wire 

    I 
    just 
    watch 
    you 
    by 

    The tears 
    I 
    knew 
    I'd 
    cry 

    Fall 
    un
    noticed 
    down 
    be
    low 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 7
    And 
    with 
    a tongue 
    built 
    from 
    quicksilver 

    And 
    a char
    acter 
    of steel 

    They 
    actually 
    come 
    and 
    ask 
    me 

    Interlude 2
    How 
    I 
    feel 





    Verse 8
    But like 
    the blackbird 
    on 
    the 
    wire 

    I 
    will 
    not 
    take 
    the prey 
    on 
    you 

    You 
    wouldn't 
    want 
    me 
    to 

    For 
    I am 
    too soft 
    for such 
    a 
    thing 

    And 
    like 
    the blackbird 
    on 
    the 
    wire 

    I 
    just 
    watch 
    you 
    by 

    The 
    tears 
    I 
    knew 
    I'd 
    cry 

    Fall 
    un
    noticed 
    down 
    below

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
